    Default a cricket inside the wall of my room

    a cricket has been chirping its ass off for over a month now, could be even longer, i dont remember when it started, could be more than one cricket but DAMN is it annoying. Its keeping me up all night, even when my uncle isnt snoring like satans pigs.

    someone help me think of a way to get rid of this curse. Banging on the walls used to help but i think it got stronger or something plus no matter where i spray bug spray, i dont think its getting where the cricket is. damn mutant cricket...
    Spank you very much

    You could try staying awake to spite the cricket. It might give up and go somewhere else.

    Perhaps introduce it to a nice lady-cricket (outside the house of course) coz after all, he's only trying to find a mate.

    Make your own personal noise to make the cricket jealous.

    A while ago I read that the noise crickets make is designed (but not by something intelligent) to be particulary hard to track down to aviod predators ( and to confuse people trying to kill them with bugspray), perhaps it's not in the wall.

    If it definately is, smash a hole in the wall or down. Then you can get the cricket.

    Hope those ideas help.

    I'd recommend Pest Control. Works wonders and highly effective. We first moved into my current residence about 9 years ago and when we did there were plenty of bugs and we learnt hte previous owner hadn't called pest control for many many moons. When we did, we got home and found heaps and heaps of cockroaches and spiders had crawled out of the woodwork. In the garden there were also more dead bugs. Its very effective on warm and unwindy days (as wind blows away the spray). Good luck.

    We had our pest control round last Friday. A day after, we found some dead spiders and cockroaches around afterwards. Quite effective

    Sounds tasty!


    I had some pest guys come to my place once. All the annoying little beetles things started crawling out. Then a bird came and started eating all the dead bugs. I Tried to shoo it away, but it kept coming back. I often think about that bird...

    Surprisingly, birds stomachs are quite strong. My bird can and tries to eat just about anything in the house. So the little bugger is probably still cruising about.

    STL. How are the bug sprayers on TFs? any sign of pain fading or anything like that.
