InTice 10 Perimeter Bait is labeled for crickets in general but it is not specifically labeled for camel crickets. We would recommend a product such as Niban Granular Bait which does specifically list camel crickets on the product label.
InTice 10 Perimeter Bait can be used to help control ants and other listed insects in your yard without damage to the grass seed or to pets. You should store unused product out of reach of pets and monitor them if they are near or in the treated area. If you are seeing large numbers of ants that are causing damage to the grass, then you may want to go with an insecticide granule which is then watered into the ground, such as DeltaGard G Granules. You would need to keep pets out of the treatment area until after you have watered in the granules and this has dried.
We generally would not recommend mixing different baits such as Advion and InTice 10 since they will have different food attractants and possibly different labeling as to where they are safe to be used. You can always test if fire ants or other target ants are foraging with a small amount of bait, and then apply more bait as long as ants are accepting it. Also, if ants find a few granules they do not want, then they may just avoid the entire area rather than being picky about which bait they are accepting.
Intice 10 will not work for springtails due to their feeding habits. We would recommend trying a dust such as Delta Dust in and around all of the cracks and crevices where you are seeing activity. Delta dust is a good choice because it works even if it gets damp and it lasts up to 6 months. We would further recommend that you treat the exterior of your home with Talstar P. Pull back any mulch, straw or plant bedding at least 6 inches from your home. Make sure your gutters are in good condition and are not causing water to pool against the structure.
InTice 10 Perimeter Bait is safe when used as directed. You do not want to apply in areas around the creek or where runoff will wash the product into the creek. You can use the bait in a station to help prevent this. The InTice Border Patrol System would be good.
