Unhappy Invasion of the Mole Crickets

I didn't get a chance to get our mail today, so while we were out tonight, I stopped to pick it up.
This was about 8:30 this evening. As I walked around the sidewalk to our mail box, I could not believe I wasn't part of a Hitchcock movie.

There were mole crickets EVERYWHERE! I'm not speaking about five or six. I'm talking about at least 50,
but I wasn't stopping to count them. It was gross and I really had to step lively to avoid them.

Where there is smoke, there is fire, meaning all Villagers should be aware there's a good possiblity that just about everyone has them.
My suggestion to all homeowners is to physically watch for them.
Bare patches in your grass are a good clue that they could be feasting away on the roots of your grass, and you need to treat your entire property.
