How to stop crickets from entering the house and getting rid of them ?

Hello I have found the home perimeter sprays very helpful in my rural situation for ants crickets and spiders.

Food grade diatomaceous earth sprinkled all around the perimeter and at entrances should take care of the issue. I would get a plastic condiment dispenser to put it out if you want a thin line. It is still effective if it gets wet, as long as it doesn't wash away. It won't hurt pets or kids.

Here's a Home Depot link with some solutions. So annoying at night when you hear crickets inside and can't find them!

A combination of food grade diatomaceous earth around the perimeter of your house will keep them out of the house, and for the inside use the sticky traps-Walmart has a multi pack. Open the traps, lay them out flat to give more surface area and place them in corners.

Diatomaceous Earth can be harmful if inhaled and only food grade DE is safe to eat. If you choose to use it as recommended here, I would consider that if you have kids or pets or other wildlife you're concerned about.

Hi! Door sweeps on the bottom of your doors help keep them out. They only need a tiny gap to get in, as do most bugs!

Yes, food grade DE works if they walk through it.

Powdered boric acid (Roach Proof’s main ingredient) also works when they walk through it and later bathe. Dollar store and Wally World (Wal Mart) have generics.

Neither of these will hurt pets.
