You can't make them stop breeding...
You'll either have to:
-Free them outside.
-Let them do their thing until they die (which will be a long time because they will eat themselves).
-Go to your local pet shop and sell them or give them away for free.
God luck!!!

You cannot stop them from breeding. Its nature. Give some back to the pet store if you dont want them all. Look at it this way: Atleast they arent dying. Or buy some more lizards to feed the crickets too =) Post them on www.craigslist.org for free and give them away to some kid who has a hungary reptile!

There's no way at all to stop crickets from breeding. The only thing you can do is either set them free, kill them, sell them, or hand them off to a friend or pet shop.

Set them free for other lizards to enjoy!
Either that or make your vet's day and bring them in for tiny little cricket vasectomies.

there are more right answers than wrong here.
i would just dump them in a garbage bag and tie it off.
i don't think it's a good idea to let them go because brown crickets are probably not native to your area...
flush down the toilet.

just sell the whole lot of them to the closest pet store that sells reptiles. they will apriciate them. or just dump them out, it won't hurt the environment.
