Default Die you stupid cricket!

So I had a cricket escape and he is apparently very happy. He will not stop chirping. He is up in the rafters where I can't see him. He has been there for at least three weeks. Shouldn't he have starved and be dead by now? I guess I'm not looking for any real answers just thought I would tell you how "bugged" I am right now.

LOL.. Could be worse buddy.. could be much worse..

Shakira got loose in my house once for a week straight she kept singing that "hips don't lie" in spanish... it was absolutely terrible.. finally caught her in a humane oversized (to fit her butt) mousetrap in the basement, and set her free in a field down by the river..

I'll never make that mistake again.

Luckily she has small breasts (so you don't confuse them with mountains) so that trap didn't have to be too big, ....

Hey I have an excuse for not commenting, I was busy working on a project last week and finally was able to spend some time on my pc and log in here tonight. (and yes I've accumulated over 7000 emails in my hotmail accout)

Put some fresh cricket gutload on flypaper... including some water behind a couch or some dark place. Crickets love the dark. Fresh food and water in a dark place, why wouldnt he gentle step on paper to get it.

Soooo i got home from my local PS with a box of 1000 large crickets for my Water dragon. I normally keep him on my sholder as i empty out the box into a big green garbage can because he is oddly comfy on my sholder and do this every time, he will bob his head as the sea of fodder flood the can.. only this time when i went to dump them into the said can he Freaking bit my earlobe lol, and well the box hit the floor and now i have maybe 3-400 buggers stalking me in my livingroom . hope your flypaper trick works. this is going to be a looooong couple weeks

we had a pair of TOkay Geckos get loose in this store i used to work at, they populated the entire strip mall. even with the dirty (and I mean dirty) mexican restaurant next door we never saw a bug in that place. this may be a good option for you jason.
