Field crickets have recently invaded many of our towns, homesites, and businesses. Usually, these insects are found only in our fields and woodlots, but recent rains have apparently contributed to their movement into conflict with people. There are places in our towns where their dead bodies become smelly and obnoxious.
Outdoor lighting is the most important single cause of severe cricket infestation around homes and commercial buildings. Buildings that are brightly lit at night are most likely to attract the largest numbers of crickets during the fall mating season. Reducing outdoor lights is the first, and most important, step in a cricket control program.

Crickets crickets everywhere! Fishermen this is a time to gather free fishing bait, they work really well on bass. This a year for the books as we have had a very unusual year with an over abundance of rain. This has happened before and it will happen again. In the late summer of 1963 we had so many of them that you couldn't walk down the side walk in the late evening and not step on several with every step, I had never seen anything like it before or since.

Asian cultures find them lucky. If you count how many times one chirps in a minute you can multiply it times 10 and that's the temp. outside so I have read. I once heard a hispanic woman tell me that when there are a lot of them, it means a cold winter. So far since I heard her say this 30 years ago the winter has always been cold when crickets are this thick, so maybe we better pull out those sweaters.
