banded crickets are the loudest and most annoying

Put a trap down.

I make my own, a small cardboard box with a hole cut in the side, cover the base inside with double-sided tape and bait the box with a piece of very ripe fruit, I don't get many escapees but the traps get the few that do go AWOL!

you really should start using mirco collars, theyre kinda like the ones that arnie wears on the running man, though i must admit that crickets are very clever and would probably find a way to deactivate them in time.

im afraid escapees are always gunna happy when it comes to jumpy little bugs, i remember that in my old house we had a huuuge black cricket that had escaped and was living under the fridge for months. he used to sing everynight and eventaully he died, we were gutted, wed got so use to his singing on the night that we could no longer go to sleep still miss the lil guy.

I thought it was over with escapes when I got rid of crickets and just used mealworms. My hamster raided the mealworms tub so keep fidning mealworms and aliens around the bed room but now I've had a load of Morios escape.
My netpew freaked when he went to put on his jeans and saw some on there. I checked the rest of his clothes and found 8 more in his T-shirts.

I actually prefer crickets now, hate Morios, they're to creepy.
