How are you going to cook them?

I use sticky traps for pantry moths. Didn't know they had them for crickets.
That's a cheap Dollar Store glue trap in the pic.

We have one (I think) very noisy cricket in the laundry. I like it. Wife is less than thrilled. I may need a cricket trap, too.
If you have ONE, sooner or later you'll have FIFTY !

Hopefully, Dr. Killigan makes one -- his moth traps are ten times better than any others

You KNOW why they chirp, right ?

His chirping just might translate to . . .
"HEY LADIES ! Have you heard the human legend of Frankie Tri-Pod ?
Well . . . That is NOT a third hind leg I'm sportin' back there ! " :-"

I once bought a glue trap for rats when they first came out.

I set it out and all I caught was a dragonfly. I checked on it later and inadvertently trapped a lizard who was trying to eat the dragonfly. Poor lizard.

Then I checked later and a bird had flown in to get the lizard. I went to try to figure a way to get the bird loose and when i came back, there was our cat with the glue trap caught on his paw, waving it around.

Cat lost some fur. All other victims were mortally wounded. I threw the trap away, never to use one again.

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
