What are some at-home options for pest control?
We've had crickets getting into our basement, I believe through a gap somewhere in the basement egress window edges.  Those windows have timber-lined window wells, and they like to sneak around between the timbers.  I just threw down a bunch of Ortho Home Defense MAX all around the house last night, paying special attention in the window wells, and it was like a war zone down there this morning...dead and dying crickets abound.

If I remember, I'll come back in a few days with a report on the population trend inside the house.
