Just kidding. I could not resist. Vibes to you on the infestation. I hope they are not eating all.

I had what we called "camel crickets" in the house all the time. It turns out that they are a species of cave cricket, and they had completely colonized my crawlspace (discovered by accident while running some wire under there). What else would get into the house was roaches, which freaked out my gf. So I started spraying for the roaches. They disappeared, and so did the camel crickets. My gf stuck around, we got married, and are coming up on 10 years, so I guess the spray worked!
