Yes, we have many crickets as well; I’m impressed you caught a few because they’re difficult to catch :)

The glue traps do work well in the basement. I don’t have an issue with them during the winter....not sure where they go.

With regards to dividing perennials....do you have to divide them?....I’ve got many tiger Lilly’s that bloom and I’ve never divided them....and what to do once they’re divided?

Thanks Jessica....enjoy the newsletter, get a lot of good info and have started forwarding it to my daughters :)

Hi Jessica! I’m enjoying your Newsletters every week. I was a devoted follower in Newsday every Sunday. Regarding the Crickets… we have plenty! Going down into my basement is always an adventure! My question is what happens to them in the Winter? There inside so it won’t get cold down there. Do they just keep multiplying? Thanks

No Japanese crickets here yet, but we do have a good amount of camel crickets creeping inside the basement. Hard to catch, they can outjump a grasshopper and get quite large with long back legs. Glue traps do the job and I should add, that they need to stay where they were put as, how do I say, the "old" camel crickets "attract" the newbies to the trap.
