We never had a problem with them before this spring but there seems to be an invasion of them this spring. They're completely destroying my vegetable garden. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

Upon walking in Croton's back roads I saw this huge bug crossing the road and was forced to stop in my tracks having never seen it before. I quickly grabed a stick and motioned it infront of the bug as if I were shaking its hand. I actually felt this bug grab my stick with its mole like feet. It was then I new this bug deserves respect! So I helped it across the raod. My only regret was having none to share the moment with me. As a final note, I'll share with you that the Northern Mole Cricket that I spoted was at least 3" which is a half inch bigger than what I've researched so far.
