Judy, You have to trap a coyote. Most people don't know they love to eat crickets. Go to Walmart and ask for a humane coyote trap. I think they are about $20, if you can't find one just send me one of those octagons I need and I'll see you get one back. After you trap the little sucker, you have to starve him for about 3 days. Then you put him in the garage a little before your husband gets home from work. Don't tell him what you are doing, when he gets out of his car and sees the hungry coyote, he'll make a noise that will send the crickets running. Don't thank me now, just let me know how it works. Regards, Jim
