Another thing I have been told is that if you take and bend the ovipositer in half they won't be able to lay eggs. Kind of like a kinked hose. But if you cut it off or break it completly off they can still lay. I did it for a while but found it to be too much hassle for me. Now I just watch when I feed a female cricket it either gets eaten right away or removed.
I found that a pair of hemostats used to 'crimp' the ovi' in a couple of places is fast, easy, and effective.

But I still feed them first for a quick bye-bye ;)

This doesn't beat the time I had moth larvea all around the cage. I swear they look weird, they look like little diamond shaped pieces of dirt with a lil worm popping out of the edge. They all died because there was nothing for them to eat. And then a few weeks later Pin HEADS! F-in PIN HEADS EVERYWHERE! They were small and baby sized, and you know what? they all decided to jump into the water dish and die.... I don't know why, but when I had my rosie, all the crickets would aim straight for the water dish face first....
