Baby Crickets??

[KirbyTheCham]

So I've been finding baby crickets around my place..... Where are they coming from :/. Could some adults have bred in Kirbys cage in the soil? I don't know why I keep finding them away from the cage in different rooms. Someone help! I don't want Crickets everywhere.

I rather have babies then adults everywhere consider yourself lucky

yes, certainly, crickets will and do lay eggs in soil.
which then hatch
and baby crickets will then bee-bop all over the show (why would they stay in one place?)

Someone help! I don't want Crickets everywhere

options

• remove soil so that there is no where for crickets to lay eggs
• pour boiling water over soil (will kill eggs, but also plants if there are any)
• cup feed when offering female crickets (so that crickets have no access to the soil)
• remove ovipositors (scissors) from female crickets to reduce egg laying
• sticky roach traps (peanut butter scented works well) multiple places on the floor near cage, adjacent rooms and rooms on lower floors
• learn to like house spiders

Haha I no longer trap and release my house spiders. I was never one to smush them, I simply threw them out the window.... now they are welcome to stay.
