Cricket trap!

Hello everyone:)

I built this cricket trap for two main reasons.

• A member (Gabe) on my Home Farm Ideas facebook group asked how he could keep crickets out of his garden. Since crickets can nibble on leaves (on occasion) I wanted to make this trap to help him. This could be the case for you as well but I myself would go outside at night and shine a flashlight behind leaves (using a flashlight behind leaves allows you to see the shadow of the pest then you can very easily remove them) to see if you have inchworms, hornworms, slugs, and snails chewing on your plants since these are normally the troublemakers in the garden! Keep in mind that crickets normally stick to eating rotten vegetables, fruits, and other organic matter.

As some of you know I try and keep my garden as organic as I can. I quickly learned that when you garden organically that pest tend to try and take over! At that point I prayed and asked the Lord what can I do to keep pest off my plants and He gave me something I can start to build on.

I started to watch what the Lord had put in place to eat bugs. Lizards and frogs came to mind right away. I don't have an open water source that frogs could grow and breed in so I turned to lizards! I noticed there was non in my back yard so I set out to catch some to help me in the garden.

I got some by hand but I needed an easier way to catch them and that lead me to look at traps. Once you catch them you can also keep them for a few weeks to
