INSECT CONTROL RECIPE

Cricket Spray

A quick soap-based contact spray for crickets you spot indoors or around the foundation — fast-acting for the ones bait alone won't reach in time.

Cricketspray
Prep: 5 minutes
Yields: about 1 quart
Organic-friendly

Ingredients

1 quart water
2 tablespoons liquid dish soap
Spray bottle

Instructions

1

Mix the water and dish soap together in a spray bottle.

2

Spray directly onto crickets when spotted, along baseboards, and near door and window thresholds.

3

Sweep or vacuum up crickets once they’ve stopped moving.

Tip: Spray along baseboards and door thresholds in the evening, when crickets are most active and easiest to catch out in the open.
