How can you catch a cricket fast? There has been one in a room in my house for two days and I can`t find it and it is driving me crazy. I can`t sleep since the cricket is in the bedroom.

I just track them down and use my hands to catch 'em. It does take some time though b/c they are really quick! lol

Yeah those critters are pesty. You could try a bug bomb,
OR---
One night, try plugging one of your ears so that you can only hear out of one. Then when it chirps,slowly turn your self so that you can pinpoint its' location with the one ear that is not plugged. You need to do this in the dark with a good flashlight and either your hand of a fly swatter. It could be hiding under a shoe, or almost anything. Good luck.

Spray the area where the cricket is with Raid or some other bug killer.
Rest in Peace...

Dont seize wild crickets there packed with ailment and possibly insecticides from places they have been, those you purchase on the shop are wonderful and there purely 10 cents each and every so attempt now to not seize one, and the prospect to seize sufficient for a week are your possibilities of triumphing the lottery. :)

Try a cat. My cat is great at detecting and catching bugs that are way too fast for me.

Put a Raid Fogger in the room and close the door...
