Mygardens~ Our solution is somewhat similar( I received a stronger formula from an agricultural agent) and was advised that the solution would not harm our gardens. I use 2 ounces dishwashing detergent (without the bactericide or bleach agent) in 1 gallon warm water. Then pour over the area suspected, where the most crickets emerge I then repeat the process over that area. Here's a pic of the previous infected area....where the nasturtiums are now growing, lettuce and india mustard were grown last year after the soap treatment. Very effective and as you can see no mole cricket damage as they are "no mo!"
