The good news is that my dissertation committee is on board with the direction/scope of the project. Never mind that they'd all been on board previously... It's fine. All is well. Progress is being made.
The bad news is that the crickets don't seem to have been phased by the spray. Bug Guy is coming back tomorrow. Hopefully our floor won't be ruined for weeks.
Also? The Wife and I have been sleeping horribly for the past few nights. Part of it might have been our god forsaken neighbor partying with his friends from 3.30am until 6.00am on Friday night, followed by our other neighbor deciding to vacuum the floor directly above our beds at 8am Sunday morning.
But part of our problem has definitely been cricket dreams. We're both having them. As one commenter said, they're not bad little insects to have around - it's just the quantity that's particularly troublesome.
That and the constant, intermittent chirps.

I will spare you my thoughts and experience-based knowledge of crickets until *after* the problem is solved. Get rid of the buggers.
We seem to get the odd cricket in the house and our dog catches them (poor cricket!)
So one night a couple of months ago, I woke (sort of) in the middle of the night and heard a cricket chirping.
It could be *anywhere* in the house! I tried to go back to sleep..
Damn annoying... you have my sympathies as I can only imagine a chorus of hundreds.
The next morning my Hub casually said "did you hear that low battery chirping in the smoke detector last night ?
I don't suppose this is the time to suggest you catch them and eat them? Nice source of free protein, and there are recipes online. But perhaps not after extermination spray has been introduced ...
You have my sympathy. Me, I've got spiders and ants. They're quieter, but just as intrusive in their way.
