    This will actually be really helpful because there are crickets coming in and out of my room and it's like bro, I just wanna play some video games instead of destroying these creatures. I don't got time to play whack-a-mole with crickets and play video games at the same time.

    @LadyRavenEyes that's true but I believe that crickets gut loaded with natural stuff vs store bought is better:)

  • @homefarmideas
    @homefarmideas  12 років тому +1

    @Johnny Dumler Yes they do but their little guts can handle every single parasite. On the other hand, bugs that are wild have 10 times the amount of nutrients then bugs bred captivity do. That's why you have to dust the crickets in captivity with vitamins. Maybe do more research Johnny?

    I tried the cricket trap. It worked! I got one, but for some reason the other two have ignored it. Maybe it was the over-the-hill mango... not a favorite food? I really liked the design though. The cricket really couldn't find his way back to the opening. He'd try to jump for it but couldn't aim or get through.
    The ones that wouldn't go into the trap I finally got to stop chirping: I put 5 drops of essential oil of peppermint on a piece of paper towel and shoved it behind the fridge where one has been chirping for over week. It shut him up for an entire day! ~ 24 hrs later he started chirping again. Not sure if he has a way in & out... maybe he just ducks out of here when the smell is repellent, and he came back when the smell died down. Either way, no more chirping, for a while. It really makes the room smell like peppermint so be prepared for that. I also read that clove, rosemary and thyme are the recommended essential oils to try.

  • @LucyKosaki
    @LucyKosaki 6 років тому +39

    Am I the only one who finds them cute and their chirping relaxing? xD I captured a cricket in my house, bought an aquarium, put sand and some plants in there and put it in my bedroom, so I can relax in there, read some books and listen to the chirping :3 I live in a big city with almost no vegetation, so crickets are pretty rare here.

  • @homefarmideas
    @homefarmideas  12 років тому +1

    Cool!! Not only that but these crickets are way better for your scorpion because they are gut loaded with natural stuff they ate around your house. The ones in the store are fed bad stuff and that goes into your scorpion when it eats the crickets. Just make like 5 or 10 traps and place them around your yard. You should get lots of crickets:) Let us know how it works!

  • @homefarmideas
    @homefarmideas  11 років тому

    I'm not going to google it, sorry. If you want to show proof of what your saying I will read it. I can tell you this, I have bred crickets for my red eyed tree frogs and the ones you get from places like Petco are so bad... They are feed trash, and do you know where that powder comes from? Crickets you catch outside are way less of a risk then store crickets.

    @kierston381 Yes, please keep us up-to-date. I would make like 4 or 5 traps:) You have a way better chance of catching more crickets that way. Also something I didn't bring up in the video if you lay the trap flat on the ground try to tilted about 20° so that when the crickets jump in into the trap they will slide to the back of the bottle.

  • @isamarsh2519
    @isamarsh2519 2 роки тому +1

    a way ive found effective is tracking down a chirping cricket and dropping a large, preferably rectangle shaped container over the cricket and the surronding patch of grass.
    the cricket will have nowhere to go and it will only have a small section of grass, if it tries to run away, it will bump into the sides of the container.
    the container should be clear/seethrough so that the cricket won't see it coming
    amd make sure you pat it down into the grass so there isn't a big gap for them to squeeze through and escape

      I never noticed it until LAST Summer in my wooden shed. I open the wooden doors to get my lawnmower and holy crap...these crickets are HUGE! (LOL, I have never seen, or noticed how big they get). They were all over the inside of my doors. I didn't kill them..just tapped the door and they all jump and scatter off. Saw it yesterday again...one of these monster crickets, I believe hitched a ride on my shorts, shirt and came inside the house with me...eventually my bedroom, UGH. It was LOUD last night, took me until 3am to find it. I trapped it ina cup and released it. Just have to find a way to prevent them coming into my house...spray my clothes, around doors/windows, my AC unit. ugh.

      Do what I did - Put glue boards across the threshold, under the door, and they will stick when they try to crawl under the door. They will never make another sound. Keep the door closed except when walking in or out, so they don't jump across the glue boards. Try to remember not to step on the glue boards.

    Well, as I said in my initial comment, they're up under the siding of my house and I can hear them scratching in the walls. I know it's skinks because I've lived here 9 years and I've been watching them go up under the siding through many summers. As I also said, I wouldn't kill them, only relocate them. As I said, I know their value as bug eaters but the sound of them living under the siding is comparable to having mice and it's incredibly nerve-wracking. I have to relocate them! Love your trap

    @pIaidified 10 років тому

    If you punch a hole on the bottom about the size of the diameter of a toothpick, any rainwater will quickly drain away preventing flooding that can allow your crickets to escape (if the water level gets that high) and/or drowning them. :)

      The risk is the same if not greater from store bought.

    They are pincher bugs and they can give you a very light pin but it has never hurt me:)

    Here's hoping this works. We have crickets in our house every summer. I can't sleep. And a turtle that LOVES them as long as they're alive.

    Hahahaha! i get frustrated when i open a slab of stone in our garden, or under the garden pot, they just all scramble away... in my funny frustration, i even attempted to give away candy treat for kids who can give me a cricket XD or grasshoppers or something... good thing i found this vid. Now i have no problem catching crickets.

      Try using produce. You're looking for insects, right? Most are in some way frugivores. (Meaning they eat fruit.) I catch my crickets with apple slices.
