A Bug's Death

As many of you know by now, I have been invaded by a lone chirping cricket; probably from the stables behind our building. The cricket “sleeps” by day and continues its mate calling by night. I searched online for an ecological way of getting rid of it and found out that I could entice it with water mixed with molasses mixed and vanilla extract or lemon juice. So much for the sweet tooth, the damn chirper did his thing for 3 days straight until hubby couldn’t stand it any longer. On the third day we arrived home and he had his mind intent on getting rid of our friend no matter how long it will take him. It must have been our friend’s time, he had came halfway out of his little crack. In less than 3 seconds, poof! Sayonara Jiminy! Hello Dreamland!

I usually let them be if they are black ants. My grandma used to say they bring wealth. Superstitious or not they don't harm anyway and they're usually gone in a day's time on their own. =)
