Red face BASIL eating ghosts

Will someone please help? Something is eating my basil! I cant see what it is. I found no eggs or nest of any sort, i have put eggshells and i also have gravel. I also used a spray but nothing works. Its crikets I assume. What can i use against them?

Slugs love basil.

At least, US slugs love basil.

Put a board by the plants in the evening, and check it in the
morning to see if there are any slugs underneath.
