There are many fine products on the market now that you can buy at Lowe's or Home Depot--in fact they have the same chemical ingredients as what Orkin or Terminix often use since those companies are now restricted by EPA laws on the strongest poisons. You will find the products under names like "Max Defense" and they come in a plastic gallon bottle with a sprayer. Simply spray the entrance points (doors, windows, vents), baseboards, and corners and meeting walls and if possible, spray about a 1' band around the outside of the building. Any insects that do manage to cross the barrier in the next six months will not live for long, and it will also reduce the reproductive cycle.
Good luck--crickets are a pest, and unbeknownst to many are actually closely related to cockroaches!

Quickest way is to sweep them out of the office,make sure the doorsills are tight and sealed,and the siding or weepholes are covered, and then call an exterminator to treat the perimeter with a residual chemical or some bait that is labeled for crickets.Also the chemicals that are sold at lowes and home depot are not the same as what exterminators use.The active ingredient will be the same but not the percentage of the active nor the inert ingredients.Just to let you know.

OMG! I have the same exact problem, I am listening to them rub there legs together as I type this and it driving me CRAZY!!! I have set traps around the office they are like spider traps and they work pretty well. They are like a small paper box with 2 open sides so they can walk in but cant walk out due to them getting stuck on the glue. Only downside is that you still have to listen to them while theyre on the trap. Or you can try to old fashioned way and just stomp on them:)

a million. No, for 2 motives: A. i did not have a fish fry. B. It did not rain. 2. Rain can not be "stupid" because this is inanimate. you could, even with the undeniable fact that, evaluate rain to be an annoyance and could hence examine with it as "the demanding rain". Sorry your BBQ became ruined.

Well, you could pick them up & pop them in your mouth, or you could call in an exterminator.
