Vacuum corners, rugs, and behind appliances where you’ve heard chirping. It removes not just crickets, but their eggs too.
I find glue boards near baseboards and light switches do wonders for capturing crickets that wander indoors. Just check them nightly.

Hear that rhythmic chirp at night? That’s male house crickets calling mates, but also a sure sign there’s moisture or warmth near. Time to declutter and seal gaps.
