Dude, you inspired me. My basement is not littered with these traps. They are already working too! You're the man! Thanks!

This is too funny

My mom told me it's bad luck to kill crickets. X [frypan]

that's also part of Chinese lore, in some places...

Thanks for the advice, jes.

I went ahead and got a trap for our solitary, lonely cricket. (No Dollar Store cheapo for our cricket. I ordered one from Amazon, just because Pac and Jonesy might disapprove.)

Put it out at 9PM last night. At 5AM, the cricket started his cricketing. By 5:15, my wife said, it's awfully quiet....checked the trap and sure enough....got there in time to see him still squirming


You're quite welcome !

Them little buggers got my trap ALL filled up. Can't hardly see the card because of all the crickets.
Gonna have to go get a fresh trap and see just how many more I CAN kill off.

As stated, the 1st glue board, (pictured above), eventually got filled to the point where it was a solid brown and you couldn't see the white or red color on the bottom of the card.
I have since laid out 4 more traps, and they ALL look like the posted pic. I guesstimate I've probably snagged over 300 or more crickets since i first started laying glue boards down. What freaks me out is, thinking of years past when all these disgusting little fuggers weren't being caught and had free rein in my Family Room. 😢
