I love, love, love the sound of the crickets in the Fall. I have my windows open to get the full benefit of their song - it's delightful background noise to help me get to (and stay) asleep. I occasionally get a couple in the house but they do no damage so they certainly don't bother me ......... much better than stink bugs, for sure! They'll be gone shortly ..............

Here's some ideas - http://pests.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-crickets.htm
Even though they're a pain (crickets indoors) I still hate to use sticky traps for anything - a prolonged death is cruel. I have read somewhere an idea that combines a couple mentioned and that is to use a box with a light source in it and to keep the lights off at night - they will be attracted to the light. Only I can't remember the trick to keeping them in the box.... unless the light was in a box over another box with a hole in between so they'd fall in.... hmmmmm, can't remember.
