if i turn on the light to find him, or if i get close, he quits chirping. at least with a mosquito, i can wait till the whine stops, then i can swat in the vicinity.

But didn't you know...

Crickets inside the house are suppose to be good luck! At least that's what my grandpa always told me. :-$

Lend him one of your rats, a cricket will make a tasty morsel. 😉

Try this

Roasted Crickets

Just before cooking, put your crickets in the refrigerator until you are ready to roast them. You don’t want to kill them, only slow their metabolism down so that they stop moving. This allows for arranging them on the cookie sheet with out them trying to get away.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Spread a bunch of pre cooled live crickets out on a cookie sheet. Bake at low temperature for an hour or more until completely dry. Test by crushing a dried cricket with your fingers. If they do not seem completely dried out, roast them some more. However, be careful not to burn them as they taste terrible scorched! Let cool.

Dry Roasted Crickets have a nutty flavor and are very good eaten plain with a sprinkle of salt. They are also very tasty as a substitute for nuts in dessert and cookie recipes. Dry Roasted Crickets can also be blended into flour to be added to bread flours to make lots of different recipes.

Have a great Sunday! B-)
