Fixit; How to get rid of camel crickets.(VARIETY) see here how to get rid of gas
Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN) July 2, 2001 Q. What can we do about camelback bugs in our house?
A. “I am guessing that you are talking about camel crickets,” said Jeff Hahn, entomology supervisor for the University of Minnesota’s Yard and Garden Clinic. “They are tan, humped-backed and have a body length of about 3/4 inch.” Unlike field crickets, camel crickets are wingless. They can readily enter a home but do not usually reproduce indoors. They prefer damp conditions and like to hide under objects.
To control camel crickets, start outside, Hahn suggests. Remove or move farther from your home any leaves, piles of brush, bricks or stones, firewood, garbage containers and similar objects that may give crickets a hiding place with easy access to your home. You can also discourage crickets by cutting any long grass or weeds near your home and by caulking or sealing any obvious entry points. see here how to get rid of gas
If large numbers of crickets are getting inside, Hahn said, you can treat the outside of your home with an appropriate insecticide, such as products containing permethrin or bifenthrin.
Inside, reduce accumulations of boxes, bags and other clutter. Camel crickets like moist conditions, so dry out damp areas with a dehumidifier or fan. Sticky traps (roach traps) work on camel crickets, but insecticides are not usually practical indoors.
Burn old flag Q. I am replacing three American flags with new ones. How do I dispose of the old ones?
A. Burn them. Burning should be done with proper reverence, without ceremony and in private, according to the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ national office in St. Louis.
Or contact your local American Legion or VFW post. These organizations typically conduct flag-burning ceremonies for just that purpose every year.
