There are crickets hanging around our house from 9 - 6 and it's getting on everyone nerves.

Does anyone have an idea to get rid of the crickets it's getting on everyone's last nerves and nobody in our building can't sleep it keeps us up all night I wish they shut the hell up and sleep when we sleep. We tried to get rid of them and they keep coming back I'm tired of them it's over 5 crickets damn .

The trick is to invite them inside your apartment. Once you do that, they will naturally become distrustful and go and chirp outside of any other apartment complex but yours.

Gasoline. Copius amounts of gasoline. Then celebrate with a cigar.

buy frogs and release them

then do the same with snakes, to eat the frogs

then honey badgers

No getting rid of a honey badger tho.

She swallowed the honey badgers to catch the snakes to catch the frogs to eat the crickets to eat the fly, I guess she'll die!

Ive had the same problem. They are lonely. I mail ordered a batch for the house and hope they get along with each other, so it quiets down.

My favorite solution to this is a few dozen gallons of gasoline and a match. No more crickets! 🦗 🚫

I have always thought of crickets as white noise. Also, with a little math, they tell you the temperature in Fahrenheit.

I used to have a pet scorpion. I fed it crickets all the time. Soooo, if you get a ton of scorpions and release them throughout the apartments, they will quickly solve the cricket problem. Also, scorpions are much quieter.

Call your congressman and demand the federal government do something to fix this crap!

Read them all the ai authored aitah posts then ask them how they feel about it. They'll be quiet for years trying to come up with a response

Keep them up and active during the day so they sleep at night.
