They are harmless and only live in damp areas. Your neighbor has a water problem. Get rid of the damp, and they will move on.

Never heard of them. What are they? Similar to our 'mole crickets'?

We have crickets bad around here.
I spread insect killer around my entire yard with a rotary spreader. I then spray a heavy dose of insect filler around the perimeter of my house.

A "Moon Cricket" can be defined using the Urban Dictionary.......................It is not among one of the nicer terms to be found there!
