My new apartment is surrounded by crickets and my door has a crack on the bottom so they manage to come in everday. Are there any home remedies I can use to make them go away? ANY suggestions that work? PLease help me. Thanks!

I like crickets, they are harmless! But if they are really upsetting you, Ortho Home Defense Max Indoor-Outdoor works for just about everything. Just spray your doorsill and windowsill.

one suggestion on helping get rid of the spiders and crickets getting in your house... (same one that helps with water bugs in the house)
Mix up the following:
* 1 cup flour
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 1 small minced onion
* 12 oz. boric acid powder
Add water until doughy and then roll it into little balls.
Place the balls anywhere the bugs can get in your house like in corner seams of your window area or tiny floor/wall cracks. They also work great in the corners of cabinet shelves/drawers etc.
I'm not sure on the safety of boric acid powder so I would say to make sure to keep them away from kids and pets if you can. maybe someone else can tell us more on that.
