The more trampled the crickets were, the more they got into the surrounding homes and businesses.

Experts say the weather may be the cause of the emergence of crowded crickets."The rise of crickets seems to occur after periods of dry weather lasting in the spring and early summer, followed by a rain in July and August. Wide-area cracked soil can also be a weakness. Another important factor, " said Rick Grantham, director of the University of Oklahoma's Plant and Insect Diagnostic Laboratory.
