Where did the crickets go?
Now it may be possible that there is suddenly a cricket convention somewhere other than at my house, but I think something else happened when, after several weeks of those wild and crazy bugs hopping around my house, making chirpy noises etc., that suddenly they are nowhere to be seen. My family had just reminded me that these bugs are nasty pets so I'd best get rid of them, but before I could, I noticed that they were already gone. Simultaneously, I had put a big bouquet of Carolyn Sanders' bay /laurel in my bathroom where the bugs had collected. She had said that other bugs hate bay; maybe crickets do too. Peace at last!

I must in all honesty admit that a few of those durn crickets did return but few in number and I quickly dispatched them with the drop-the-tea towel approach. But still I think the bay has helped. And that's the last I shall say on this subject that my family thinks is disgusting.
