Found a Cricket
2007-07-06, 8:08 PM #1
It's been annoying the hell out of me for the last three weeks and the stupid thing just walked right past my feet. I acted quick, and dropped the cover of a cd spindle on it.. Now I'm trying to decide what to do with it.

(note, I'm not eating it, but I need a creative way to kill it that won't be too messy)

Off the top of my head:


Two part Epoxy and a paper cup

Dremel

Popcorn popper

Superglue one leg to a peice of paper and leave it there for a week


Or just throw it outside...

I like the epoxy idea. turn him into a paperweight. Or drop a spider in there and eat the winner.

Isn't it just the greatest feeling when you finally find the noisy son of a *****?

I remember one time my friend and I were drinking in my basement and this cricket was annoying the crap out of us. We tore the place apart looking for it. Finally found it like an hour later, it was the smallest, yet noisiest cricket I had ever seen.

Don't discount eating it so easily. I ate fried crickets in Thailand.

Revenge might not be sweet, but it will be slightly like BBQ flavoured chips.

EAT IT

16 posts before someone said this... amazing. Why the cruelty? would you do the same with a mouse / cat / chicken? Just take the thing a good distance away from your house and drop it off.

This "thing" has been keeping me up for 3 weeks in the middle of the night. I can't just let it go, or it will continue to irritate. And I'm not going to make a special trip to drive it somewhere in my truck that gets 13 mpg.

Anyway, I decided to boil it in hot water. It died instantly.

Um, a good distance away is maybe 10 metres...

You're a terrible person.

Yeah... cause you can't hear a cricket that's 10 meters away when you're trying to sleep.

:rolleyes:

besides, I'm doing my part to aid in evolution. By killing the crickets that don't have the common sense to avoid humanity and/or keep quiet at night, I'm promoting the crickets that can live peacefully with humanity, thus providing humans and crickets with an overall more satisfying existence.

Well you know what you should do Detty, boil all the drivers.
They deserve it for being noisy.

I have mouse traps, so yes, I guess I act "cruel" to mice. Not sure how a chicken would invade your home as a pest. Or a cat. But I'm not going to kill an offending chicken or a cat because they are fairly big animals, compared to a mouse...or a bug.

Mice reach plague proportions if you don't control them, I've seen it happen.
That is why I have rat poison.
Not because they are small, killing things based on size is a very warped sounding logic indeed.

Do you eat beef? =p

You can eat a chicken with no jokes, so there's no particular reason not to kill it for real. Unless you know it's your neighbour's chicken and he's looking for it.

If a cow or a dog wandered into my yard, I'm not going to say to myself, "That's a pest! I better dispose of them."

Bugs are easy to kill. Get a tissue and end their life. Not sure about boiling them, that's just strange.

Exceptions include ladybugs. Because they are so *pretty*.

Wal-Mart sells blocks of acrylic that you can melt and pour into forms.

I was thinking.... "block o' cricket"...

my idea was best, you could have started an insect combat arena, could have got a few spiders to try gang**** the *****.

Setting a trap because you can't catch it yourself is one thing. Boiling it to death for the sake of sadistic punishment is another.

I *hate* *hate* *hate* crickets with a passion. Boiling it is odd, because that took a lot of thought and preparation, but whatever. At least it's one less freaking cricket in the world.

tbh though if your'll be evil to something that couldnt kill you unless it got half a million of its mates, your'll be evil to anything.

I live in a big and noisy city... I wish I could hear crickets at night. I just love that sound. I can easily dose off to the sound of hundreds of them chirping outside my tent when I'm camping.
