If you read our cricket control article (the link is above), you'll learn these guys are secretive. In other words, they don't hang out in the open but prefer to live hidden from sight. In your situation, you state you "have them in the basement". Such environments are either finished or unfinished. If yours is finished, the crickets are no doubt hiding behind the walls and ceiling of the finished area. Since total release aerosols (poison bombs) are designed to blanket the open area in a room, the treatment will not reach deep into the spaces where the bulk of the population will be hiding. The net result will be little to no effect. Now if your basement is unfinished, it would mean these guys are coming from either a crawl space or the outside. Regardless, in both cases the total release aerosols would again only treat the exposed open area and not address the key nest locations. Lastly, total release aerosols are also very weak and they don't last long. In other words, they are barely strong enough to affect any insect (which is why they're okay to spray out in the open all over everything) but by making them so safe, they're largely ineffective at solving problems. No doubt they can kill however many that might be out in the open during the treatment. But as you already know, this pest doesn't much like to stand out in the open much if ever at all. And any that are hiding during the treatment will no doubt be unaffected. The net result is when such products are used for this pest, most of it is spewed out over an area which is not important when it comes to solving a local infestation. And just what you'll need to solve your problem is no doubt listed above. Decide if you prefer to bait or dust the hidden areas as both these treatments will last a good long time which is essential when dealing with camelback crickets. Also, the residual spraying we list can be a big help since treatments can last 3-6 weeks. This is key for cricket control and why the process we outline above is so effective. Give us a call if you're unclear on how to proceed and where to treat. Our toll free is 1-800-877-7290 and no doubt we'll be able to detail how you can knock them out once and for all. @Daniel Swink: This would be a complete waste of time and money.

I just have them in the basement so I figure 2 will kill anything down there. Cant I just drop a couple of poison bombs on these bastards and leave the house for the afternoon.
