Back in September, in the French Alps, I spent about a week trying to catch crickets.
I could catch them by hand very easily, then cooked in a hot pot for 2 minutes.
But I could not catch any with a bottle trap. The area I used had thousands of crickets. I tried clear plastic 1.5 ltr bottles, white plastic milk bottles, dry sugar, sugared water, bottle standing up, laying down, in grass, bushes - I tried everything. NOWT.
Anyone else tried? Tips for next season?
