I agree, yuk!

One solution that my wife and I found was crickets. If you can
put up with the occasional chirping, get a couple of crickets and
let them loose in your house (or more, depending on the size of
your house). Crickets eat bugs (e.g., spiders, silverfish, etc.).
I have been told that if you do not like the noise, praying
mantises also work.

The only problem is if you are an avid bug hater (like myself),
going to the john and seeing a cricket (read "BUG") staring you
in the face.

P.S.: I have been told that it is bad luck to kill a cricket.
