Spread diatomaceous earth around(not in) your cricket enclosure. People tend to spread it around their house and yard to keep ants away. It is a natural non toxic insect killer. Its fine powder made from diatomic particles. The way it works is that it slices and destroys exoskeletons and the insect cannot survive. Its safe for mammals and poultry, which is why people use them to powder/dust their pets to get rid of fleas and mites. And ingesting them in a dewormer.(food grade type)
You can find diatomaceous earth in garden centers, insect repellent area of Lowes/home depot, feed stores, or health food stores. The garden type isn't as finely ground so its not good for ingestion. Only the food grade kind. But for your purpose either will work fine.
And don't mistake it for the pool filter stuff.
