Sprickets: The Invasion

  Sprickets, a.k.a. the freaky bastards that chase my wife up ontop of a chair screaming, apparently come out of their dwelling as the outside temp drops to their liking.  Take a trip into my basement and you may find yourself in a situation that rivals a scene from Starship Troopers.  Their appearance leaves little doubt that you do not want to scoop them up into your hands to gently toss them out the front door so they can continue a productive insect life.  Add in the military like maneuvering in which they form a tactical line to march onto you providing a frontal distraction to move in under the flanks, and you know you have a fight that you just can't walk away from.

  It seems these creepy jumpers are actually Cave Crickets.  This would explain why every winter my house is plagued with them. Umm, no it wouldn't! 

  If you aren't ontop your your Karate Bo Staff techniques wielding a broom recklessly around the house could be hazardess, so I'm here to give you my sure fire way to get these sprickets all together and dead and forego any need of your questionable hand-2-hand skills.  Glue Pad mouse traps.  That's all I have to say.  I don't know how or why, it just does.  Lay a couple of these down where you notice the little buggers and they will all be dancing to get stuck in the muck.  Fill up and replace.
