I vacumed one up with the dust buster when I emptied it out days later the freaking thing was ALIVE!!!!!!!!!
OMG! nooo. Well today what I did was let it scurry into a shoe box then I closed the lid tightly (bc something that big and gross there is no way I am squishing it
Then I put it in 2 black plastic garbage bags (yes 2 full size garbage bags) and threw it in the trash outside !
That damn thing better not find a way out!!!

Re: Is there a town on LI that...
We're in Massapequa Park and haven't gotten any. EVER.
I'm not going to lie - I want to see one in person so badly!!! You guys make it seem like they're the most hideous things on earth and yet the google images just look like plain old crickets.
I want to see one!!!

hahaha ladies...ok so then it seems smithtown, or anywhere out east north shore is my new home! LOL LOL LOL
I am in Lynbrook by the way....UGHH hates these creatures! We havent seen one in so long.....but for some reason past few days
ETA: I was from queens too, howard beach, these creatures were foreign to me until I moved to Lynbrook!
We would get one a year in our basement. Now it's a different story in LI, I can't count how many!

They are not like normal crickets. They are large at times, size of a quarter or more with their gross legs. And they look like giant spiders but they JUMP towards you, HIGH up too.

Hopefully you don't have to become a pro like me at whacking them. I use my swiffer broom thingy....they splat so much, could make you vomit. But I rather it splatted and dead then intact and running around my house!

Re: Is there a town on LI that...
We have them out East. They were bad in August, then were gone. We had one last week that got upstairs , but haven't seen any since. Never saw one when I lived in MD. Maybe it's the proximity to water? We live near the beach.

Re: Is there a town on LI that...
i didn't see these bugs until 2005. I lived in a basement apartment at the time and they were my roommates. It was gross. Now they are in the laundry room of my house now. I have lived in Lynbrook and Valley Stream.
I have sprayed them with a lot of lysol and they lived. Glue strips were the only thing that worked. I personally only see them from October to December.

Re: Is there a town on LI that...
I'm in Lindenhurst, and grew up in East Northport, and have never seen them. Of course I have poisonous spiders in my house in Lindy from time to time, so I think I might prefer the crickets!!

Re: Is there a town on LI that...
I had them a month after I moved to the South Shore. I was so grossed out. We called Terminex and got a one year contract. It was the best $1,00 I ever spent b/c they never came back! Fingers crossed.
