Ah, that sounds like a very useful substance. 😀 😛

It is. Its actually a bacteria that attacks only the crickets. The only problem is you have to get them while they are still little babies.

Yea you gotta put out the stuff when the crickets are no bigger then a 1/2 inch.

You seem to have great experience with pest control. 😀 😛

I have had to learn. When you raise plants and trees you are going to have some pests at some point. I try to find solutions that do not hurt the other plants and the other wildlife. 😀

Thank you Its better for everything in the long run. Many pesticides will get rid of a lot of beneficial insects as well as the bad ones.

You are very welcome, my friend. 😀 😛
What insects in your yard are the most beneficial?

Right now its the ladybugs. I have not seen any praying mantis around. We use to get a lot. Maybe they ate each other all up. LOL 😀 😛

I have heard the female praying mantises eat the males. 😱 Not a good pattern, in my opinion.

They eat the males after mating but at anytime any praying mantis is fair game for any other praying mantis. They are not picky eaters. When a praying mantis looks at you its pretty much thinking...... "This thing is big but I bet I could take it" LOL

That is quite scary. 😱

Luckily they never get bigger then about 6 inches. 😀 Otherwise we all might be praying mantis happy meals. LOL 😀 😛

Carry on buddies 😀

Even six inches is bigger than I have ever seen.

I have seen a few that size. Rather imposing creatures to say the least. 😀 😛

Not as bad as science fiction films which feature insects larger than people. 😱 Nonsense, of course, they have no lungs which limits their maximum size.

Exactly. The other problem is they really have no circulatory system. The heart is really more of a circulating pump that keeps blood moving around. That combined with some airholes works fine up until about 6 inches to a foot maximum. So no giganto bugs are possible. 😀 😛

The water bugs that are four inches long that I have seen in the basement laundry room here are quite disgusting enough.

Quite true. 6 foot water bugs would be something I would not ever want. 😱

6 foot water bugs might just take over this whole city. 😱 😱

They might be better at running it then the politicians. Bugs are very organized.... though very icky. LOL 😉

Considering that our mayor here is the communist Bill de Blasio, a giant water bug as mayor might just be an improvement.

I would prefer a giant Water Bug over our current governor as well.

I am familiar with the record of your governor and I agree with you. 😀 😛
