A good bug eating cat! I had a cat that had lived in the wild a year before I took her in. She ate bugs , etc including crickets. A cricket that got in my house had a life expetctancy of 3 cricket noises. one cricket noise and the cat knew it was in the house. The second cricket noise and the cat was in the room with it. the 3rd cricket sound and the cat would nail the cricket and eat it right there where it caught it. The crickets were so crunchy it sounded like the cat was eating peanuts while she chewed it! :)

Oh , in the absence of a cat to do the killing for you , i would just kill them any way you can , that noise is just too agrevating , especially at night when you are trying to sleep.

Your cricket eating cat could be hired out for $100 per day .... very green way to get rid of the damn pests.

I can arrange to replace those crickets with chipmunks very easily

safer brand diatomaceous earth
edible by people and pets its so safe
Make sure it says that on the bag!

yet its disastrous to crawling insects
gets into cracks fairly easy

these bugs wear their exo skeleten on the outside
thats the crunchy sound you hear when cats munch them

on their inside they are mushy gooey ....and the powder
creates a hole in their "armor" thus making them dehydrate

get yourself an old tinactin bottle with the flip up tip
or any spray powder bottle and use it as a delivery system
