is. we get ants and crickets in the house like you would not believe, even when things are clean. it’s something of a pain.
that said, i do like crickets… outside! if you relax about it, their chirping can be quite nice.
inside, in the middle of the night is another story. i never knew how loudly crickets can chirp. and hunting for one in the middle of the night is not fun.
for the most part, you can’t get more natural than the main way we handle them. the kids think it’s great fun to catch a cricket by hand and throw it outside. it may take a little extra hand washing,
