I hear a cricket that seems to be coming from the air conditioning vent. How do I get rid of it?

Community Answer

If you don't care if it dies, get sticky traps and food traps.

Question

I have a pet cricket named Joey, and he's lonely. There are no crickets in my house; I need a quick and easy guide on how to find crickets and where they mostly live.

Community Answer

Most of them live in long, weedy grass. Try looking in open, grassy areas in bright sunlight. Sit down or get close to the grass and watch for a while. Also, try rustling the grass. It is likely that crickets will jump when you do this.

Question

I just found a cricket yesterday, and today it jumped out of its container into the house. As I am a kid, I have (stupidly) grown attached to it. I even gave it a name! How can I get it back?

Community Answer

I recommend going after your cricket by buying a net at the dollar store and catch it back. If you are attached to your pet insect, you should gently pick it up by its metathorax and put it back into its container.
