I LOVE THESE THINGS!!!
I purchased 3 Cricket cards w/glitter trap. Worked exactly as planned, almost. Scoped out the "targeted victim" office to find the perfect hiding place and stuck it the night before after office hours. The trap was set and waiting to be activated the next day. Being my first time activating one I screwed up trying to pull the battery tab and pulled the card down setting off the glitter trap. Lucky my "targeted victim was late and none of his cube farm mates noticed me and I was able to clean up and try again. Second time I pulled the tab before I stuck it behind the light on the overhead cabinet. I waited until he got to work and left his cube to walk in and press the button and walk out unnoticed by anyone. After a few minutes I heard the first cricket and watched the irritation build for a couple hours from a distance. Finally he'd had enough and the hunt was on to kill a cricket with other irritated cube mates in the area joining in for the hunt. It was finally found and as the group was celebrating victor by ripping the irritating device down, the cricket got the last laugh by dumping glitter all over his desk, books, mouse pad, phone...you get the picture. It was funny how everyone was in the mood to help the victim hunt for the irritating cricket. But once the glitter was all over his desk, he was left alone to clean up the mess by himself. Camaraderie only goes so far when you work in a cube farm.
More victims are on my radar as I type this....going to be keeping my office door locked for a while though.
