I went on Google and typed in the name Mole krickets & it brought up info on your problem, I havent hered of them in the uk, they look a bit like our earwigs.
Good luck on getting rid of them also you have to treat your lawn at the right time or it wont work, sorry I couldnt help more, hope someone will be able to help you more.

I'm not able to advise either, sorry, this is not a problem we have in Britain - looks like Google might be your best friend!

We have mole crickets here in France and I frequently disturb them in the compost heap in spring when I take out the compost. They get put out on the vegetable plot where they don't do any damage at all.
I think they are only a problem with ornamental lawns but you would have to have a sizeable problem with them to really cause a big problem.
They are quite easy to pick up and dispose of, in my experience, if you are really worried.
