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.

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
