I would love some advice on how to limit the cricket population at my
home. I have tried many different bug sprays, with the noisy
creatures prevailing. My last resort was to go to a pet store and
purchase some Geckos, let them loose in the back yard, and (hopefully)
sleep in silence. The guy at the pet store said this was a terrible
idea. He said the Geckos would run away. If they have a plentiful
amount of food, why would they leave. Does anyone have any other
ideas? I would be forever in your debt...

Thank you.

Have you experimented with dispersing bait pellets in and around your
yard? There's an abundance of different brands available. Usually the
same products that work for ants and roaches also work for crickets.

Don't know where you live, but around here (TX), when it starts
getting cool, the crickets seem to congregate around buildings
(homes, stores, anything), I suppose to stay warm. When you kill
the ones you have, a new crop will come in that very night.

There doesn't seem to be any way to handle them in the huge numbers,
or else stores would be doing so. Sometimes they are so thick on
sidewalks that they are dangerously slippery.

Probably just going to have to live with it, and soon they will go
away.

Let a monster loose in your yard. Ever notice in the movies that sounds
stop when a monster appears?

Got me thinking. Crickets are a pain this time of year here too but
have been far less so this year. I've also noted more snakes around the
property and a family of skunks. I think they are helping to keep the
crickets down.
