wrote in message ... Anyone have ideas how to get rid of these pests? I had those things pretty badly in my basement for several years. Spraying from an exterminator service did nothing to combat this. I finally went to a site called Bugspray.com and bought a bait called Niban FG. It is in granular form. I spread this in my crawlspace and all along the corners and crevices of the unfinished side. It took a couple of months to start seeing results but it really worked. In about 3 or 4 months, no more of those creepy crickets. |

When I moved from Illinois to Arizona and found the crickets to be brown instead of black like in my native Illinois, I just assumed the sun was too strong for a black body. Now I know the truth. Thanks. By the way, I had untold numbers of them in my garage...I left the spiders alone (in particular the Black Widows) and within a year, I didn't see crickets anymore. Was very careful not to reach into dark corners and under bushes, however. Tom. |
