Turn off the lights, turn off all the sound, sit still and wait for it to chirp enough that you can detect its location.

Walk around the whole house until it stops, that's when you know its close.

Then start swinging around a shoe like your giving birth.

Why would you kill a poor little innocent thing like a cricket? :(

Just walk around, once you ghet close to it it'll stop and probably shut up.

Build a fire in the center of your house, roast marshmallows and pretend your camping. Won't be so irritating anymore.

Alternatively if for some odd reason you don't want to burn your house down...just put some music on to drown it out:P

Locate it by listening, drive it out of hiding, then spray it with a lot of Raid.:P

If you can't find it and don't want to go out and buy a trap, try making some white noise. A ceramic heater running in fan only mode will drown it out. I do not recommend spray poison if you're going to spend any time in the area (I tried that once, fell asleep, and felt sick for days).
