That sucks. Well I suggest you release a few lizards in there, then after a week, an owl. Then you'll just have an owl problem, and I don't know the solution to that yet, but it will buy you some time.

hahahaha, i guess its alot easier to get rid of one own than 200 crickets.

i guess my real question is:

our cars our uni-bodys right? (im not even sure of the exact deffinition of uni-body)

can the crickets get IN the BODY of my car? i mean, i got all the ones from under the seats, from under the carpet (i steped on those ones) and the ones out of the spare tire well

but there are some i can hear directly below my ear (as if they were under the carpet, but i smashed it all and the're still there) so are they lost in my body panels and whatnot? Is that even possible??

wow dude,
this is the last thing i thought i would read here. lol. i would suggest smoking them out. you know it is an Rx-7. lol. take your exhaust off and run open headers and rev that bitch up... then let it idle for like 20 or so minutes. haha. jk. i have no clue what you would do except let them all die along with the person who did it. hope you find em. later.

There are plenty of supports in the floor with holes in them to make nice cricket hotels, unfortunately; I can post some images tomorrow for you.

thanks man,you dont have to go through all that.

i wish they made a MUCH smaller version of those house bug bombs...

maybe i'll set one off with the windows cracked or something...

but that doesn't help me get them out

oh well, good thing the heatwave is over.

You could let a few dozen baby garter snakes loose in the car. They could probably get most of them after a few days. But then you would have snakes... so you would need bigger snakes to get them out. Then you would need a mongoose to get the big snakes out. Mongoose's can only be defeated by Chuck Norris's roundhouse kick.

No but seriously if that happened to me I WOULD take apart the entire interior and vacuum out every cricket.

Man... When you find out who did it; go to the local pet store or feed store and buy about 10 or 15 tarrantulas and release them in that persons car... They will live longer, they are quieter and they will do a lot more than just annoy that person... Be sure that you are not seen and wipe any finger prints... Also dont allow any of your DNA (Hair, Saliva, Sweat) to be left behind in their car... It would probably make it easier for the police to find you after the car is in a 25 car pile up on the highway that resulted in the deaths of many people...

I am just kiding by the way... This would be a very bad idea and should not be in any way really considered (in case the FBI or something is looking at this)...

good idea
just hotbox the car
if they get stoned enough, they wont make that much noise
and if you are stoned enough, you wont hear that much noise
it is a win win situation.

time to pull the dash and rip out all the carpet. just smashing all of them and leaving them in the car still is just going to make it worse

Thats the Dale solution (for those of you that watch King of the Hill)'
And the solution for the owl problem is most likely a large bird of prey like a Golden Eagle or something. If might have a hard time flying in the car, though....

Hmm I think I see where you're going, and it will probably work. My question is, how do we solve this:

most of them are eather dead, or in my vacuum. I dont think they will live long without anything to eat.... do you think the live crickets would eat the dead crickets?! Then make babies, then the babies eat the parents, and so on?!?

I think a large python would be your best bet. You can find someone with a pet python so its tame, plus they don't do anything once they eat.

And on to the real question: I think that once the current round dies off, then you'll be fine. I don't know much about the life cycle of the cricket, but I don't think you have to worry much about them breeding and laying eggs in your car.
