Keeping Crickets Out of the House?

Every summer we have at least one cricket enter our bedroom from the patio door. I am wondering if there was something I could spray to keep them from wanting to come inside that won't effect our cat?

crickets are very attracted to dark, moist spaces. They thrive on decomposing wood. I used to have a driftwood art studio basement apartment and we were overrun! LIterally it sounded like we were outdoors.

I would make sure that there's no excess moisture in the house by having a dehumidifier. Also cover over any cracks in the walls, under furniture, etc, anywhere they could be. Take special care in the bathroom - you may have to check inside the drains to make sure there are no nests. Covering up drains when not in use can make this problem go away

There is cricket bait and you can use sticky traps.
