Feeder Crickets

Cindyyavonne Feb 06, 2006 08:48 AM

Does anyone know of any good cricket companies in Louisiana that have good prices? I am buying like 5000 a month now and would like to keep the business in La, but the only company I know of is Armstrong and they won't lower their price to compete with Southern Cricket or Worm Man so I'm having to use out of state to be able to afford the crickets.

I get my feeder insects from www.armstrongcrickets.com

Their faculity is located in Monroe, Louisiana...which is only about 30 min. from me....so I have even stopped by to check out their place...great people and I highly recommend them.

IMO

ive tried buying crickets in LA but i have found that I can get 1000 crickets shipped to my door from Ghann's in Atlanta and the same amount from armstrongs is almost $10 more...it doesnt make any "cents"...i felt the same way you do, but money is money and the less you have to spend the better.

Maybe if enough of us complain to Armstrong it might make a difference. If they knew how much business they are losing. I'm up to like 3000 crickets a wk.
