hey Everyone

I need some help with crickets that are actually chewing through the screen vents I have and they get out and roam around in my room and I dont want that so I need some suggestions on what to do.I guess they are jumping up there and chewing on it and getting out through the vent slits.

ANY/EVERY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE HELPFUL

THANKS

If you are finding holes chewed in the screen it is most likely fibreglas. You will need to replace it with some sort of metal screening. Either aluminum or hardware cloth. Soft screens or netting will not contain crickets.
