These offspring of Satan are going to cause a massive bladder problem if they keep showing up. I don't know where they came from but they can gladly go the f* back!~ I have recently killed 3 of these mutants bastards in my bathroom (well not me personally b/c as soon as turn the light on and see it I freeze).

Preferably a small, fat dog who's not fast or vicious enough to kill anything larger or tastier than a cricket. Ours works wonders on the camel crickets in our basement. One caveat: You will go from living, leaping, potentially-in-your-hair camel crickets to a field of mangled, half-chewed, still-twitching camel cricket corpses smeared into the basement floor. (I'm not crazy about these little suckers either, but I'd take them over silverfish any day of the week and twice on Thursdays.) Get a dog.

My husband drops a plastic cup over the cricket, puts a piece of paper underneath, and escorts the cricket outside. I roll up a magazine and smash them. They will also die if sprayed with oven cleaner. That crab is f*cked up! My husband drops a plastic cup over the cricket, puts a piece of paper underneath, and escorts the cricket outside.
