Melody, I have had the same problem. What I did was get a glass jar with screw on lid- took a nail and poked holed in the top from the outside of lid in- put some sugar and a little water in the jar, screwed the lid back on, and placed in cricket cage- the ants were able to get to the sugar, but the crickets were not. after all ants were in the jar, I fed them off to a horned lizard. TQ
