Girls that had camel crickets?
How the heck did you get rid of them? I don't know how they're getting in, but just when I think they are gone I'll get more in my basement! They are so gross and I want them gone. What can I get to get rid of them?

Re: Girls that had camel crickets?
the only thing that permanently worked was getting an exterminator to come in. he sprayed around the outside of the house then he sprinkled poison bait in our basement (since it is unfinished and we don't have any pets or kids) and he also put sticky traps down.

100% glue traps in the basement. This season I only saw one actually alive, the rest were all dead thanks to the glue traps.
I run the dehumidifer pretty much all the time too in the basement.
Knock on wood, I have not seen any in the past 3 weeks get trapped or anywhere. I think they made a scramble right before the cold weaher hit to find shelter.

Run the dehumidifier and put out glue traps. Keep the traps out until they get full. Thanks to this board, I learned that they are cannibals and dead ones attract live ones, and soon, they'll all be dead on your glue trap.
Haven't seen any since October!

Its true. Touching the box gives me the creeps! But I will say dont bother getting any glue traps at Home Depot or even Lowes. These are the only ones sold at Ace that will work.
Thankfully, we didnt have many this year ---just caught a a few in the garage. To the OP, I am so surprised you are seeing them still. Usually by now, b/c its so cold........they disappear. Well if not, you will see them much more less now that the cold is here.

Re: Girls that had camel crickets?
I couldn't take them! So gross! I called terminex and had them come quarterly for one year. They sprayed inside and outside of my house. It was expensive but well worth it.

Exterminators are your best bet. Not only that, but those glue traps are the cruelest things.
