Q: azwiley1 wrote hey miles subject change for you real fast. up in your neck of the woods do you have a lot of critters around your place i have noticed since moving up to tucson that there are more critters spiders around than was in s.v. any suggestions on treatments to keep them out of the house when we first moved into our new home there were lots of crickets. we bought several gheckos and let them loose around the house and in the attic. they take care of most of the crickets and spiders. after several years there are still a few gheckos around. we have coyotes come into our neighborhood sometimes. have to make sure pets are kept indoors at night. .
