Seriously if that was in your bathroom/wherever what would you do? I think I would have to kill it. But what would be the best way to kill it and all the little ones? I'm thinking I would use fire or some kind of spray to kill it. The old hit with a shoe would just end up getting the smaller ones running all over the place.

Nasty looking thing

Sry to quote piccy.

I think the best course of action would be to move house.

Hmm maybe deoderant can and a lighter. But I think I would need some armour too lol.

I got my armoured cricket for about a tenner including a small plastic tank and substrate from the local reptile shop. Pretty good deal tbh, a lot of their other insects looked pretty badly looked after though, such as their weevil beetles and all of their rhino beetles were dead
