how to get this creepy cricket out of my bathtub???

[rosebud5446]

there is a camel cricket in my tub, and it's freaking me out! i turned my shower on to warm it up, and it started hopping about, so i tried to guide it out by spraying water , but it's just wacked out, and is hopping spastically everywhere but out. i just want to take a shower meh.... camel crickets are so fucking creepy

do you have any hairspray? that's how i get wasps and bees, if they get in the house. Spray 'em and whack 'em. Not very high tech but it works for me.

ahhh yes, hairspray... i tried cold water, because i don't really want to hurt it, but it's pissing me off, so i thought if i burnt it with hotter water, it would jump out, so now i guess i'll try the hairspray... ahhhh!!! damnit nothing works!

 

[rosebud5446]

meh... it's chillin in there, but when i get close enough to kill it or something, it starts hopping... i thought i could drown it, but... no... it's not working :*(

Victory Is Mine!!! Hahahaha

LOL How did you do it? That looks like a gigantic disgusting bug to exterminate. Yuck.

 

[rosebud5446]

yeah, they're creepy, and when you don't know what they are, they look like spiders, and when you try to squish it and it starts jumping... AHHHHH, but it's just a cricket, still creepy nonetheless

i filled a waterbottle with hot water and squirted it all at it, and it was just kind of lying there, but still alive, so i gassed it with hairspray.

 

[rosebud5446]

goddamnit!!!! he's gone! i used a ton of hairspray on that fucker, i went to go dispose of him and he's fucking gone! i'm sure he's behind a curtain, and he's going to lash at me when i find his squarmy ass! this is war!

 

[bobsgirl]

LMAO!! You remind me of myself those times when I've had to go into mortal combat with a spider.

Put your helmet on, soldier!

 

[rosebud5446]

ok... poured alcohol on him and started freaking out, then just layed there, and i threw a wet rag over him and flushed his ass! woot! i win bitch!

 

[bobsgirl]

You rock!

Is that the theme from "Rocky" I hear in the background?

Whats a Camel Cricket? we get really big black ones here that make a crunch noise when you squish em is that the same thing?

Their noisy as all hell too.

Get them all the time this time of year. I always keep a thick magazine handy in the bathroom and just drop it on them, a little toilet paper and flush. But it is a morning ritual I don't look forward to. Creeping bastards!

I know this sounds dumb but it usually works. Go to Wal-Mart (or K-Mart) and buy a cricket cage in the sporting goods department. The kind with the open top. Put a piece of potatoe in it and place it where your seeing the crickets in the mornings. They love potatoes and will go in to eat it but they can't get back out. Then you can take them outside and dump them.
