I've been using crickets as food for over 5 years now and i recently moved into a new apartment where i have no AC. We've had higher than usual temps here that lasted for about a week so far and it's suppose to continue to be hot! I just bought some crickets yesterday and they all died over night. It looks like it's from the heat! I'm guessing it's about 90º F where they are! I have no way of cooling them down. Any suggestions?

Swamp cooler. In Texas we used to put the incubators in tubs filled with water and a fan was used to evaporate the water around the incubater. Worked great. You can drape a towel over the container with one end in the water and it will wick up water and cool the tank.
