We live in Southern California. Once in a while some crickets will find our house as cozy as we do. We don't mind... until they invite all their relatives and friends.

I sprayed a heavy dose of Malathion 50 Plus around the property. Its now two days and we've seen fewer of them but does anyone know a "sure kill" for these varmits should they return?

Hi, Roger,
Here in the Applachain Mountains of VA, we have our share of crickets also. Fortunately, all but a very few stay outside!
Here is a link with good explanations of the different types of crickets. Also, scroll down to the heading "Prevention" and the other "insecticides".

I hope this helps rid the little varmits. Good luck.

I'm going to see if I can find some stuff locally. If not I'll order via the site you gave me. As for rating your info I'd be happy to but can't seem to find the link
