What criteria must be met for a cricket to chirp?

Unless you find and terminate them, there’s not much to do, that I know of, but perhaps someone else will have a better answer when it comes to getting rid of insects. Either way, male crickets chirp during mating season, (To attract females.) which is usually most of Summer, or at least its hottest period.

I would guess that there is not much in your house for crickets to feed on. Maybe the crickets will soon move out or die.

Don’t!!! Crickets are lucky. You will have good fortune.

I think they chirp when they’re horny.Love has nothing to do with it.Watch out! ;)

@Nullo:Fresh air, plenty of aerobic exercise, healthy food, satisfying love life and lack of stress. Are you sure that you have only one cricket?

I just got crickets in my basement too. Its a bitch fallin asleep at night isnt it?

I just put some bug traps around the basement. Caught a couple so far.

Oh, and its not one….its NEVER just one.

Definitely find a way to chase it out.

@RocketGuy That requires finding it. If I could find it, then I’d go after it with the ol’ clodhoppers. Man versus bug, the way it was meant to be. :D

Yep, need a flashlight and a long stick.
