We used to have a cat that would hunt them. We'd sometimes see a cricket leg in a hairball. That cat died a year or so ago, and the population has increased since then.

It's a little horrifying that the traps caught so many. You would see one or two when you would go down into the cellar, so I figured there were a handful down there. I'd step on them when I could. Fast buggers would hop away. The traps are clearly working though.

I just noticed last night that a trap caught 5 little baby tank bugs. You know, the ones that look like armadillos and roll up in a ball when disturbed. Caught a spider too. This could turn into a real biology experiment. I could turn it into a web page. Look what's living in glatt's-cellar.org.
