      Anybody know how to kill or atleast get rid of crickets...? I don't really want to use pesticide incase my dog gets at it...he's the main reason I want them dead...there are about 20 of them in my basement and their making so much noise my poor dog can't sleep. He wines to come up stairs and then goes striaght to sleep. :) BTW - I've already captured about 10. I'm the Cricket hunter extraordinaire. :) How do I print my voice mail?

      I'd bring the poor hound upstairs for a few hours and fire off an indoor fogger in the basement. They use a decent insecticide that is quite effective and has a short half-life. What little residue is left behind becomes harmless to humans and pets in a short time. It would be prudent, though, to sweep up the cricket corpses before letting the pooch back downstairs, in case he's inclined to nibble on such things.

            One of the women that I worked with in texas was from Arkansas. And yes she had dinner with Clinton twice, once when she was in high school and once when she was in college. She told me of a first date she had once in Arkansas where they thought that this small section of road was flooded. They slowed down and saw that it was moving. Her date got out of the car and looked and the road was full of tarantulas. So many that you could not see the road anymore where they were. Her date had one as a pet for years and it had died recently so he picked up 3-4 of them to take back with them so he could have a new pet. That was on a first date!! She let him take the spiders back to his place, because she was driving, but she was very scare of spiders and never called him back. As they drove over them you could hear them popping under the tires. Steve Maier, MCSD MCAD

            Please...yer givin' me the willies... X| I'm located in the longitudinal center of Canada probably a couple hundred miles from the 49th even. In summer we get crazy mosquitoes (in fact their famous here :) yippy huh?) and sometimes grass hoppers, but NEVER spiders...except some small non poisoness house spiders. Although i swear I once seen a Brown recluse spider on my bed sheets, however I was probably screaming/crying so hard at that point it could have been lint. :-O I seen a pic taken by some rangers in Iraq of these two spider looking "Hair cutting" bugs (I believe they were from the scorpian family though not arachnide) stuck togather mating I guesss....god were they gross...times like that I'll put up with 3-6 months of -40 weather anyday!!! Cheers :) How do I print my voice mail?

              Not as glamourous(spelling) as wrestling crocs, but I'm Canadian eh, were hockey players, not hunters... Actually I guess there are few hunters in Canada, actually probably a lot...but I consider them neanderthals. :) How do I print my voice mail?

                        the hottest week in July turns about a 25 mile section of road into spider central. Luckily it is a large desert so no "river of spiders", there's about 200 tarantulas crossing the road at any given moment between noon and 3pm. If you don't like spiders, you don't drive during those hours. It's a slolem course you cannot hope to win. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                            Be glad you don't have bats X| . July and August are bat month where I live. I own a 135 year old, two story house, with lots of places for the nasty little buggers to get in :mad:. I've gotten very adept at catching the damn things. :sigh:
