    If there is a crawlspace attached, you will need to address the moisture issue in it. In a basement, crickets can survive on just the condensation from stone walls. Normally an aerosol fogger will kill off the adults, and a repeat treatment 2 to 5 weeks later will take care of hatched out young before they breed. A third is seldom necessary.
