Is it normal that there are camel crickets in my house?

Don't know if this should be in this category, but oh well...

So recently in the past few years, there have been camel crickets that tend to make their home in my basement, and recently, my garage.

I freaking hate them.

Has anyone else had a an infestation of camel crickets in their home, or am I the only one?

Is It Normal?

  • Camel crickets? I need to google them. I thought all crickets could jump..WAIT. My cousin would tell me about them at her place and they called them "jumping spiders" omg sick! I'm terrified of bugs. I think everyone gets some kind of cricket in their basement and / or garage. Bombs are amazing! I think you have to do it every 6 months or so, beware of the fumes.

  • Holy Shit! I have these too, but I had no idea they were called Camel Crickets.
    Strange name. I thought they were a hybrid between a cricket and a spider.

    They scare the fuck out of me! I found them in my basement this summer. Jumping, crawling & running at lightning speed! They are so damn creepy!

  • Could be worse. You could have cricket camels instead.

  • They are so odd looking. We had some in our last house, and I saw a few in the garage at this new place. Watch out, man! I think they came from outspace and they are spying on us

    These critters look like spiders and actually jump!
