Help with crickets

kckump Jul 16, 2003 06:15 PM

I purchased a large amount of crickets (2000) that I keep in a tubaware bin in the garage.

The flys have been bothering them and now there are larva in with the crickets.

Any one know how to get rid of these or what I should do?

Help

Thanks
Ken

Clean the tubaware bin and remove the larva. Use some sort of cover that allows the passage of air but one that doesn�t have holes. A piece of cloth secured over the top can provide air and no escape for your crickets or entrance for the enemies of the crickets. Use of cheese cloth, an old shirt, or
any old cloth will work. Try to boil it first so that any bacteria in the cloth is killed before use.
