I have glue pads down in the corners to (try to) keep them under control.
Anyway. The job is done. Took apart the junction blocks and tested each station pair.
Every single one tested "okay." Now, since "okay" means an open circuit, there's a possibility I missed the bad pair by not getting a good connection with the meter probe ... but I give up.

Re: camelback crickets - they are attracted to bright light - when I have to work in the crawl space under the house, I put a halogen work light at the opposite end from where I'll be - most of the buggers will hop down and fry themselves on the light and leave me alone. They really hurt if they smack into your face!
