There are several ways to kill crickets, including:

• Insecticides: Many pesticides designed for indoor use can kill crickets. Apply the pesticide according to the manufacturers instructions. Common application locations include baseboards, around door and window frames, and in utility areas such as garages and basements.

• Molasses traps: A mixture of molasses and water is highly effective at catching crickets. Simply mix 3 tablespoons of molasses with two cups of water and set the mixture out in a mason jar. The crickets, lured in by the sweet smell, will jump into the trap and drown.

• Diatomaceous earth: This powder consisting of the exoskeletons of microorganisms can be effective against crickets and other insects. It can be applied around the baseboards of your home or in areas where crickets have been seen.

• Ortho Home Defense MAX: This insecticide can be used to treat your landscape areas, paying particular attention to areas where crickets like to hide. It can also be used indoors to treat baseboards, around window and door casings, and in crawl spaces, basements, and garages.

• Boric acid: This weak monobasic Lewis acid of boron can be effective against crickets and other insects. It typically comes in powder form and can be applied around the baseboards of your home or in areas where crickets have been seen.

Its important to note that cricket waste can carry diseases such as E. coli and salmonella, and handling crickets or their waste can lead to skin sores. Ingesting food exposed to cricket feces can cause gastrointestinal distress, infection, and more.
