over the past few years, my home and my work shop/garage has been taken over by crickets/and or camel/cave crickets, the ones that jump at you as their defense mechanism.
Neither crickets or jumping crickets are harmful to us, but I don't like sharing my living or working space with them.
Especially the jumpers.
ONe year, I put out glue traps and was catching 30 a day(in my crawl space and garage).Ech.
this year, around 2 months ago, I sprayed once a month with this stuff, I purchased at Home depot, and now, each day I go into the garage, I just find 2 or 3 dead ones laying on the floor.
I haven't had more than 2 crickets in my house this year.....as compared to finding them every day since they were nice and warm in my crawl space, which I sprayed this year 3 times since mid summer before they hatch the eggs.(or so I was told)
Just wanted to share this, as I can say it works. Id prefer them to die somewhere else, but hey, I don't mind picking up a few dead bugs now and then.
(yes, I know they eat bugs, but I don't like them)
