I kind of feel sorry for them. They're just looking for love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851687726423267832.post-40734031615476111772008-09-02T22:19:00.000-05:002008-09-02T22:19:00.000-05:00A bit more detail on cricket diet...HOUSE CRICKETS...A bit more detail on cricket diet...<BR/><BR/>HOUSE CRICKETS <BR/><BR/>They live outdoors, but may come inside in great numbers. Adults are 3/4-1 inch long, light yellowish-brown with 3 dark bands on the head. They will eat almost anything, will chew on damaged silk and woolens. House crickets are nocturnal, staying hidden during the day. They have a distinctive chirping sound. They can be found in warm places like kitchens, basements, fireplaces, also in cracks and crevices and behind baseboard. <BR/><BR/>House crickets will attack paper, damage silk, woolens, fruits, and vegetables all kinds of foods, and even rubber. However, unless large numbers occur, such damage is usually minor.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445980997391559036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851687726423267832.post-19740204697941151982008-09-02T10:19:00.000-05:002008-09-02T10:19:00.000-05:00Crickets are nasty.
