So do ya kill them? Or do ya move them outside? I for one kept a cricket in a cage for the most part of a year, in 2004. And regularly move them outside if found inside.. So are they a good luck charm or a nasty menace? |

I usually try to capture and release. I've always felt that crickets are your friend in the woods at night. They'll let you know when something is coming and which direction by their sudden silence. Mole Crickets are killed if I can catch them. They have no redeeming value. |

Fo those that have not heard a cricket in years. (city folk) here is a link |
| had a roommate once who had a genuine phobia of crickets... he woke me out of a sound sleep to tell me there was a cricket in his bedroom and that I needed to kill it for him. I caught it and ate it right in front of him. He never asked me to handle a cricket for him again. |
Dude....

So what did it taste like? |
I've had the same thing at my house for the last two nights!!! Last night I had enough! It was two in the morning, I grabbed my led flashlight and went on a search and destroy mission. It took me over half an hour but I finally found and cornered that little sucker. I whacked him with a fly swatter and left him on the floor figuring I'd deal with the carcass in the morning - and I went back to bed. Something in the back of my head told me I ought to finish the job so I got back up and I'll be damned if that little sucker hadn't come back to life enough to almost crawl himself under a cabinet. Flushed the sucker down the toilet and finished to night with the best sleep I've had in two nights... I don't have a problem with crickets being in my house - as long as they don't keep me awake at night! |
Me three. My wife thinks I'm nuts, apparently can't hear the vicious chirpings of death. |
