Field Cricket

I personally love these crickets and their songs. They also do no damage whatsoever. They are common in my area and I would be most pleased to have them join the other crickets in my yard.

Like you, I too hate these things - not that they are bad but the noise at night would drive a person to dr--k. I live in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada and at this very moment have them in my house - especially a bedroom closet. Nothing and I repeat nothing I have tried, commerical or environmental seems to work to exterminate them. I need help and some sleep, so if anyone out there that has a solution please reply. My email address is happyfaces00@hotmail.com and I would be very very greatful.

I hate these things. They are all over around here. They hide under everything. They hide in my mulch. They are horrible and seem to come from no where. They get in my house somehow. If anyone can tell me what works to kill these things, I would really appreciate it. They seem to disappear in the winter, not really a problem in spring, little worse in the summer then bam!, in the fall (which I hear is mating season) they are taking over the planet. Where do they go in the winter that they are still around in the following summer? How do you get rid of them? I tried stuff for almost every bug but nothing seems to keep them in check.
