Crickets are good luck. Make sure your screens fit securely and all points of entry are secure.
Agree with Naomie, use caulk to also fill all holes on foundation, windows, soffits outside so they can't get in.
They get in even tiny spaces. Look for gaps around pipes, electrical, doors and windows.
I use a dehumidifier in my basement and sticky traps to catch them. They come back every year but there are less and less every year now.
