Yes, it's true...you can use hair spray to "take care" of a cricket.
As a kid, I thought squishing a cricket was disgusting. When I spotted one in our bathroom, I panicked and reached for the nearest thing I could find...an aerosol can of hair spray! It definitely took care of the cricket, but it also glued it to the floor! 😖
And yes, I just left it there for someone else to take care of. My mother was pretty mad when she found it later and struggled to pick up. 😅
