I have an unwated/uninvited guest and i need to get rid of him before i go crazy

Oh My sissy I can see how irritating that must be! I have never had a cricket but we get lots of spiders, moths and daddy long legs - we usually trap them against a wall or floor with a glass jar and slip a piece of paper under so that when we turn the jar over the paper acts as a lid , then we take whatever is in the jar outside and release it. I have no idea if it would work with a cricket but I wish you luck in evicting your uninvited house guest!xxx

Have you tried vinegar? I find it keeps most bug out of the house. Take a paper towel and put plenty of vinegar on it and let it stay for a while. I hope this works. I never had crickets but I find it works on ants.

I will send my dog to you he always chasing flies and other things lol,try using hedge apples cut in half

Get yourself a frog! That is their favorite side dish! Crickets can be very irritating! But if you get a frog.....he will be no more!

I hope you don't mind if I keep an eye on this discussion. I, too, have crickets under the fridge, and they're much more cheerful than I can cope with at 4:00 AM when I'm eating breakfast!

I would suggest the sticky traps that you can get. Slide it under or behind your refrigerator and you will get him! Good luck!

use a vaccum cleaner in the opposite position(blow air)....well you know haw to work with it!!LOL!

I love Snowy Tree Crickets(green). I don't like Mole Crickets (heavy and brown) Per my knowledge, only Tree crickets can play. My best suggestion is to catch it in ventilated jar, pack in nice space box and mail it overnight to my house. I will stop my night music player and have nature music by cricket. HUGS

Hi Sissygrl! I apologize but it seems this did not make it into my inbox So, I found it here on the site and I see you have gotten some good suggestions of how to get him out from under the fridge and have the possibility of releasing him humanely but if all else fails and you are unable to do this I would just spray under the fridge and then get help and move the fridge out...A good excuse for cleaning under there as well! (Hope it's not as dirty as mine!) Best of luck! ~Heavens~

spray stuff under ur frig or use a broom to get him out. or fog the house and leave for 2 or 3 hours...

u r not supposed to stay in the house when u use a fogger. put ur kids and pets in a car, place a fogger on the floor of the center of ur apartment, make sure all windows are closed, turn it on, and leave the apartment..take the kids and pets, and drive somewhere for a couple hours, around 3 or 4, or whatever it says on the box. when u return, go in the apartment first, by ur self, open all windows to ventilate the apartment from the fogger smell to air it out for 30 minutes, then let everyone return inside. it kills the bugs. or just spray Raid under the frig.

Put a small rug infront of the fireplace. Let him investigate and there ya have it. Kidding! That is from what Jiminey Cricket. I really don't know. Call afew pest places. Atleast one will be nice enough to give you some options. Good Luck!

oh untimely uninvited Insect GUest!

why not enjoy it? concentrating on what you are doing to avoid being disturbed.
