Does anyone know how to get rid of crickets? I had one hiding in my apartment (basement) for nearly a week above the furnace pipes, in the corner, in the dark and out of reach. He seems to have become quiet now (pleaaaase tell me he bit the dust!!). All I could do was to spray insecticide up there, but since I couldn't see for sure where he was, I don't think it did much good.
And now, I have *another* cricket IN the vetilation pipes in the bathroom! I was nearly in tears when I heard him this morning, because I've had to get up at 5 every day this week for a project at school and I desperately needed a good night's rest.
Short of taking the entire apartment apart trying to find this little bugger (which by now, I'm ready to do!!
) I don't know what else I *can* do...
I'm thinking of 2 options: (a) take the grill off the vent and liberally spray insecticide in there and/or (b) take my high-velocity dryer (I'm a groomer) and try to blast him into the bowels of the house somewhere!!
