We call them JUMPERS in my house. They come around so often, we go around stomping every spot on the floor...I actually just killed one a few moments ago! How do we get them to go away?

They are known to habit moist greenhouses, basements and laundry rooms. They feed on various food stuffs especially organic material dead or alive. They can cause damage in greenhouses by feeding on young plants. These are quite common and were introduced from China.
Here is a website from North Carolina State Univ Entomology Dept about these crickets for more info.
