WAR AGAINST THE CRICKET
For the last several morning, we've been awoken by the chirping of a cricket. We kept figuring it was coming from outside, but Friday morning, we finally realized the cricket was between our wall and our bathroom cabinet.
So, Saturday morning, while I was at work, Karena went to work too. She took out all the things under our sink (which was A WHOLE LOT of stuff!) and started spraying. But the chirping persisted, so she tried to drive it out by banging on the cabinets in five minutes intervals. Still, the chirping continued. So, she kept alternating between spraying and banging for nearly two and a half hours! She said, "If somebody had looked in the window and saw me, they would have called the insane asylum!"
Finally, after an entire can of ant/roach spray had nearly been emptied, she found the silence she was looking for.
