At least every decade we are hit with an unusually heavy cricket population here in Texas. 3yrs ago it was so bad in our shop building it was incredible, they were everywhere! We started usin bug bombs twice a week in tryin to get rid of 'em and I would have to spend an hour the following mornin to sweep up the 1-2000 dead ones, but it never seemed to put much of a dent in the problem and they just kept comin!

Finally we found they were nesting under the slab foundation of the building and attacked the nests themselves which eventually solved the problem.

A nasty side effect of a cricket infestation is that the damned things STINK too, It took weeks to get rid of the smell even after we got rid of the crickets
