IDK...crickets in the house are supposed to be good luck.

Step1 Modify your outdoor lighting. Instead of bright lights that attract insects, change to low-level yellow "bug" lights. Step2 Seal any cracks in your house that allow penetration from the exterior, paying close attention to areas around doors and windows and openings such as dryer vents. Place screens or other barriers over any openings that you cannot seal. Step3 Keep low-growing vegetation at least 12 inches away from the walls of your house. Crickets naturally congregate in moist, thick foliage, then find ways to migrate into the house. Step4 Purchase a cricket bait at a home and garden store. Sprinkle it around the outside of your house as directed. You can use some cricket baits indoors, but be sure to read labels carefully before applying. Step5 Use sticky traps to capture crickets without toxic chemicals. Crickets caught in this manner can be destroyed or flushed down the toilet. Step6 Vacuum up crickets you see in the house. Suck up as many as possible, then kill or discard them. Step7 Check the Internet for suggestions on types of cricket-control chemicals that you can sprinkle or spray around your home. Be sure to read all labels carefully before using. Step8 Call a pest control company if you are unable to control a cricket infestation yourself.
