Finally got it finished this afternoon.
Spent a little more time on it than I did my fish cleaning table. ;)

So far so good.

It is 24" X 18"

If the crickets can climb the sides you may have a hard time keeping them in there, if they do put some hard plastic around the sides & on the lid,I don't think that gives any thing they can grip

In doing my research before I started I read where you can also use tape.
I had some real good thick 2" wide packing tape (without the cords) and that is what I used.

Works too !! I was amazed. :D
 
You mean the shiny packing tape stuff-brown? They really cannot climb on it? That is one nice piece of information.

How you gonna pick it up? I only got one eye still but I can't see a set of handles.
 
It is actually clear and no they can't climb on it.

The pieces of wood I put on the sides to hold the screen down act as pretty good handles.
 
Looks good. I'm about to do the same thing. Ruger, what about clean out, smell, keeping them warm? What precautions are neccesary?
 
The clean out I am still working on.
I just "shoo" them to one side and use the vacuum cleaner.

They must be kept warm. I was going to put them in the shop with a heat lamp but decided it was easier to just put them in the utility room in the house for now.

No smell issue.
I think the stink is their poop and not the crickets themselves.
Keep it cleaned out and I don't think there will be a problem.
