Getting A Cricket Out Of The Tub

[Beaver...@live.com]

I gotta take a shower but I don't wanna kill the cricket and I can't get it to jump out, what I do ?

Cover it with a bucket-like container. Slide a piece of stiff paper
slowly under it so the cricket will have time to climb onto it. Pick up
the whole thing and release the cricket outside. This method works with
spiders too, and sometimes kittens.

Like roaches, where there's one there are others. Keep that bucket handy.

One time I saw some lint in the basement sink, I pick it up and realize
it's a mouse. Clearly, it had gone down there to get a drink, then unable
to get up the high sides. THere was a plastic bottle handy, he climbed
in, I don't recall needing to do anything much other than hold it near
him, and then out to the front lawn for his release. He then headed back
to the back door, where he probably came in, hoping to get back in.

The only time I've caught a mouse like that.
