Raising crickets on screen porch

[Wyattherp]

anyone have any advice for raising crickets outside. I was thinking of keeping the adult crickets on my screen porch and bringing the eggs inside to incubate. The weather here is hot and humid so I figure the climate is good. I would like to know who has had success or failure doing this.

Just be careful not to attract ants.

That's my biggest concern.

If you put the plastic bin on a table or something with legs, a little raid on the legs will keep the ants out of your crickets. You may have to do it a couple times a year though. I have to do that with my BSF set-up.

You could make a moat of sorts. Just make sure that you don't invite mosquitoes.
