If you use a pesticide in their cages, they are being poisoned without eating crickets, with the crickets it will be more so. It is a poison. Now, whether it will have any outward effects is a completely different question. Within reason I doubt it, but then again I don't think habitually spraying cages down with pesticides is all that reasonable.

So, I wouldn't worry about what has been done, but I wouldn't continue to do it anymore.

I have never really seen mite problems with monitors anyway.
