How to catch pesky crickets....Help needed!

Justin M Jul 01, 2003 01:10 PM

I went on vacation for a couple days and my parents came over to feed my chameleon. Well they accidently left the top off the crix cage and there are crickets all over our garage. I don't want to let these go to waste and I was wondering if anyone knows any tricks on how to catch em. Thanks

try placing an apple in the middle of the floor.

then every 1/2 hour or so storm into the garage with a net and catch them..lol

crickets are hard to catch as they will run as soon as they see you. If it is only like 20 or so crickets i would only catch the stupid ones that come out into the open when you are around.....or catch them at night useing a flash light and a butterfly net.
