These damn crickets are relentless! I damn near had a heart attack after seeing one hop across my kitchen floor and threw the iron on top of it.

Its like, everywhere outside they are coming in swarms. Im afraid to go outside anymore because of them. And if Im mistaken, there seems to be one coming from behind the A/C filter. This is just crazy.

Why dont they send pesticide planes to dump chemicals to nuke these pesky things?

this seems to happen every couple of years. usually not this early in the season, though. we have all the wet weather of the past few months to thank for this. the crickets aren't bothering me nearly as much as the grasshoppers and spiders

hahaha yeah this is about on par for summer time, are you from here originally by chance? I remember when I was 16 working at a McDonald's in Willow Park. I had to take the trash out before close. Crickets COVERED the parking lot and were jumping all over me. Driving out of the parking lot, you could hear them crunching underneath your tires

Haven't seen any around here in East Texas. I rather have swarm of them than spiders and cockroaches.
