UJM: Ever Min Hachai is not applicable to crickets (see Tosefta Maseches Trumos, Perek Tes). Also, crickets in Walmart are being sold as animal food (for frogs and other pets) not for humans. Also, see Harambam Hilchos Rotzeach Perek Daled, Halacha Ches where he brings the halacha of beis din killing someone indirectly so long as they establish his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
