Lol- my wife thinks I am crazy for cleaning and sharpening chainsaws in the kitchen. I should fire one up or my blower inside and see how she reacts. Just the image of a gas blower inside going after a cricket is awesome! Glad it worked for you.Yea, they drive me nuts. I spent about an hour searching for this little monster. I knew it was in the copier but couldn't spot him, too many nooks and crannies. Luckily the leaf blower worked or I was going to be laying the machine down and taking it apart
