TL;DR Summary

Colette and Mike Reynolds woke up to find their home in Elko, Nevada infested with thousands of Mormon crickets, which are carnivorous and cannibalistic. Despite calling an exterminator, the couple was advised to "wait it out." The crickets have taken a toll on their mental health, and Colette, who is unable to leave the house due to health complications, feels like a "prisoner in her own home." The infestation has also affected their pets, causing them to have nightmares. The crickets have invaded the entire city, and the hospital has been inundated with them. The insects usually leave in about five days, but this time they seem to be staying put.
