How can I keep crickets, which seem...

Crickets are said to bring good luck, but if you want to get rid of them, fill a plastic squeeze bottle, such as the kind baby powder comes in, with borax. Sprinkle the borax in any cracks, as well as along the baseboards, in the area where the crickets gather or appear to be coming into your home. Don’t do this in areas that are accessible to children or pets, however.
