Is It Bad Luck To Kill Crickets?

Question

I've heard of this before, where in the world did this belief come from?

Answer 1

I was against killing crickets until last week when I returned home from holidays and our town has been hit by a plague of them. They are disgusting at night the grounds and buildings are just black and crawling with them. I have tried to tolerate them but can no longer for I have declared war if they get in my house and I catch them they're dead! The worst is at night when you are trying to sleep and they are crawling all over you. I had to go and buy a portable cot with the mesh sides to put my 6 month old in to stop them crawling on him plus a net to cover the top, when I changed is nappy the other day there was one in the crack of his bum. ARGGGH I hate them and cant wait for them to be gone.
