I Hate Crickets
I hate crickets, but unfortunately I need them grr.
Anyways okay I need ideas, a couple of crickets bred in my enclosure and now pinheads are everywhere augh.
I've tried to catch them but no luck. So now I've tried putting a dish of water and let them fall in and drown, but its not the best plan.
I'm gonna try putting a piece of egg carton in and wait.
Any other ideas? I don't have a bug vac

Re: I Hate Crickets
At night when they are most active and your herp is sleeping; use the insect/rodent sticky sheets. They work wonders for catching crickets.
Put some highly irresistible food about two inches in from the edge.

Re: I Hate Crickets
I spray really really hard, then they die and I scoop out. They drown over just about anything.

Re: I Hate Crickets
(Crickets) + (any standing water) = drowned crickets!
When it comes to water they are incredibley stupid!

Re: I Hate Crickets
Hehe yah I thought about just flooding the cage.
I put a dish of shallow water with an egg carton over it. I'll also add a drop of olive oil into the water and see if that helps any.
Thanks for the input
