I have a problem with escaped crickets.I picked up a box of crickets a couple of weeks back,and they were the noisy ones instead of the silent,and a few of them have escaped.
These escapees are driving myself and my good lady crazy with their chirping at night.
I have laid a sticky trap at the back of my fridge,one in the hallway ,and one in the bathroom.
When i hear them chirping i go on my hands and knees with a torch and cannot see them although i can hear them under the carpet/or floorboards,moving from room to room.
I did manage to stomp on one on the way to the toilet at about 10pm one night,so i'm assuming they do come out of the floor and go wondering for food, i should mention my bathroom floor has been ripped up to be replaced so it's just floorboards at the moment.
Last night i opened all the windows and doors overnight to let the cold air circulate and hopefully kill them off,except it's not that cold here at the moment.This did greatly quiet them down,but not greatly enough to get rid of the problem
Any help appreciated
