You probably shouldn't. Why risk it? You know..

500 crickets are a lot to loose. Could you contact the supplier about the spiders. It could be a common problem like carpet beetles in with crickets.

i would just take the spiders out and use the crickets. any crickets that got bit are dead and already being eaten by the spiders.

Good to know because I would have been so mad if I spent 25 bucks on crickets I can't use.


My cameras not charged and I have to find the charger(I think I know where it is)

Ill probably take them this week

Its really not an issue to use the crickets that have not been killed or eaten by the spiders already. Its not like the spiders are going to infest the entire colony like ants can do in no time. From time to time I will find a tiny spider in one of my cricket bins that caught a cricket or two and I simply just remove the spider and the rest of the colony is fine. Ants on the other hand have wrecked an entire cricket bin as nearly all crickets were dead from the millions of ants that had infested the bin overnight. That was before I found a way to keep the ants out.

i read it and its brilliant. if i ever have a problem, i will use that method for sure. i built my own cricket keeper out of a lockable plastic box (cut out part of the lid, hot glued screen, etc), but i then placed that one in a huge lockable plastic box with no vent holes or anything. so far its worked. i open it up twice a day so i figure they should have enough air
