Tackle It Tuesday Crickets

Wow, it is Tuesday already! That means I will be tackling something. I went downstairs to do some laundry when I heard a chirping noise. My husband was fishing last week in Southern Indiana. They use crickets for bait. Apparently, a few of those crickets have escaped from his fishing gear and are making a home in my basement. My tackle today-to find the crickets and then help them find a new home. EEEEEW!

   Removing crickets is one of the most frustrating things one can do – those blasted bugs always silence their chirps when you enter the room. And the minute you leave…. Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

   Lots of empathy, Barbara

   That does NOT sound like a fun tackle! I don’t like crickets – or any bugs for that matter! Good luck!

   So, did you have any luck capturing the crickets?

   I had one in my hand, went to look and it was gone. They are so hard to catch.

   LOL Your comment had me laughing.

   LOL I hadn’t thought of them being fugitives. More like stowaways.

    I don’t like spiders but crickets don’t freak me out like spiders.
