Crickets eat some other bugs but probably not roaches. Get frogs or geckoes for that.

I've had great luck fighting roaches with both bait and boric acid. Bait traps are little boxes of poison, you open their "door" and place them in places roaches regularly travel. They stop by for a snack, later they die. The poison is inside the trap, you don't come in contact with it (it looks like sticky brown goop). Good for low-level infestations.
Boric acid is better if you've got a significant problem. It works, IIRC, by irritating their exoskeletons and causing them to loose ... oxygen(???). It's advantages are that it's NOT a poison, and they carry it back to where they live, where other roaches come in contact with it (they clean each other) . The downside is having white powder around the edges of the walls, etc. Then again, the temporary presence of white powder may be far preferrable to the sight of scattering roaches when the lights flick on.
By the way, Shanghai has oddly few insects given its heat and humidity, but the roaches are e-fucking-normous.

No, I'm not talking about any problem here on Apolyton.
I'm talking about my apartment -- why do crickets, beetles, and cockroaches insist on making themselves feel at home in MY apartment?
I am tired of filling the air in my apartment with toxic fumes from Raid.
I want non-toxic, safer alternatives that are still effective in deterring and/or killing these pests -- other than getting insect guts on the bottom of my shoes.
HOW do these pests get into my aparment anyway -- I need to find out where the damn crevices are!
I just cut one cricket's head off a few minutes ago, and now have it trapped in an upside jar to watch and observe it -- it's still alive, so I want to see how long it can live without its head.
hi ,
get some peritrine , that should keep them away , .......
or get a gecko or two to eat them , works fine in Israel , .....
MrFun, a point that you might want to remember is to plug your bathtub/shower and all sinks when not in use...Yes, those varmits can and do get into your home via drain pipes.

Oh, and student apartment policy says that we cannot have any pets except for fish. Besides, you cannot potty-train a gecko when you let it run loose around your home.

They are not pets, they are a pest control measure
