ok, just saw a big ass cricket in my house, tried to kill it but it was a big one and hopped away too quick for me. i tried to spray it with deoderant first as to impair its hopping ability, no baby oil was on hand, which is great for spiders.

whats a good way to kill them! like a trap or something...

and how to get rid of earwigs, little centipede looking things with a "pincer" for a tail, which i believe is soft tissue and isnt really a pincer, but it looks like one.

You could try picking it up and putting it outside, or even eating it. Good protein.

It's a BUG dude. Just throw a huge book at it if you have to. Or a soccer ball or something.

what happened to the traditional method of unloading a 12 gauge shotgun on the blighter? D:

beating a cricket after 45 minutes with a pillow and towel... on a manlyness scale, thats somewhere around... 0

If I see a creepy spider (some I like, some I don't) I axe kick the bastage. If I see other things I put them in a container and pour chemicals on them. LoL overkill.

im gonna have to agree with this... last time a cricket came through my bedroom window, it was met with a beer glass (upturned) and then several days of torture before it died...


thatll send a message out to the bastards...

I have an inflatable guitar thats really good, it's so light you can swing it easily, it's got a wide surface area so you barely miss, and because it's inflatable it can't damage anything harder than...well...a crickets skeleton :devgrin:

I don't like killing bugs anymore. But if one looks at me funny, it gets a good old fashioned stomp of death. If I've got one on hand, I sometimes use one of my swords too :D

Exoskeleton actually ;)



muffinman and i have decided, that if you are an armless wheelchair inhabitant, then due to all the head butting of walls, and random thrashing you would need to do with the pillow between your teeth. you would get a manliness of 8. and quite possibly a broken nose.

Rob Rocker Fun Fact: Windex reacts violently with the chemical around insects that they use to stick to surfaces. Spraying windex on an ant will kill it almost instantly, and if nothing else, it completely hinders any insect's ability to stick to walls and surfaces. Try it sometime. I've killed Centipedes with it. Don't know how it will work on your problem but it's worth a shot.

A cricket? I don't get most of those...I coud understand if it was a bigass spider or bee, but a cricket doesn't seem to bad.

But the problem with your method it, that you ruined your pillow. The most clean (somewhat) method is to grab the nearest, heaviest, bluntest object, find the intruder and smash it down while yelling a fierce war cry.

If it flies, well your screwed until it lands, or you could backhand the ***** to oblivion. Then finish it off with a toilet flush...

Or.. buy a few pet lizards and feed the crickets to them.
