Crazy ants. If they are the normal type, Terro bait stations should work. If that doesn't, there is a different ant that IIRC is in some parts of Texas and requires a pro and regular treatment.

What about those jumping crickets ? I think they are also called cave crickets. They just love to hide in my garage. When I turn on the light at night I see them but they are too fast for me to step on since they jump out of way.

Gag. I used to own a house where I could have grown them for bait in the basement. Removal of moisture is the key to success. Otherwise, the bait type commercial products are a safe way to reduce them.

I wonder if you're talking about camel crickets? I hate them - fortunately haven't seen any in our basement in several yrs. |

This is a very informative thread thanks for posting it now I didn't see this pest mentioned.
Fruit flies~ how do you get rid of them when you carry them in from the grocery store on fruits & produce?  |

same question. Glue traps perhaps? They aren't too fast for my vacuum or Raid spray, but ideally I'd like to prevent them in the first place. Already running a dehumidifier to keep it dryer in the basement, but they're still coming in. |

If they are coming in, you have openings to the outside that could probably be plugged. Look at the seals around any doors and windows, vent pipes, etc..

In my garage I had a flea outbreak, I have some cinder blocks stacked in there at the time of the outbreak. If I sprayed and boric and all that the garage, would those cinder blocks be ok to use out in my back yard, or would there still be left over eggs stuck in the porous material and then hatch when the weather is right? I don't want to spread more fleas out in my back yard.
