Crickets + House = Hell
Two days ago I noticed a cricket in our house. I killed it. All was fine and life went on. Yesterday I killed more than one cricket inside our house. Then the unthinkable happened. I came across 4 more crickets IN THE FREAKIN' house and one of them jumped towards me. It wouldn't be so bad if these crickets didn't look like a spider and were limited to the laundry room. But, NO, these cricket/spider (spickets as I like to call them for their spider like qualities) were randomly jumping around our living room.
I am not embarrassed to admit that bugs get to me. They cause me to start hyperventilating. There are very few things in my life so far that I cannot handle. Spiders, bugs, snakes, and bodies of water are among the things that cause me to "lose it".
So, what's a girl to do when crickets have invaded? You Google them. And, you know what I learned? We have a cricket invasion. Ya think? So I started thinking about how these crickets got in here and the only way I can think of is through a box of Christmas lights that I got from our storage building that is in fact filled with crickets on most occasions. I immediately threw all the boxes back outside. So far we have no more crickets. I think I may be ok and not ready to move out of this house... that is until I see another cricket. Maybe we need to get a cat.
Got any cricket ridding tips/solutions for me? Anyone else out there ever have this problem? Tips on how to keep me sane are welcome to. ;)Labels: crickets
