How Professional Cricket Control Works

Our targeted 5-step process eliminates cricket invasions and prevents seasonal re-infestations.

Step 1: Inspect & Identify Cricket Type
Step 1

Inspect & Identify Cricket Type

Technicians in our network identify the cricket species (house crickets, field crickets, camel crickets, or mole crickets), assess infestation severity, locate entry points, and evaluate conducive conditions like moisture, lighting, and landscaping. Different cricket types require different control approaches.

  • Cricket species identification
  • Entry point detection
  • Conducive condition assessment
Step 2: Develop Treatment Strategy
Step 2

Develop Treatment Strategy

Based on cricket type and infestation severity, technicians in our network create a customized plan combining perimeter barrier treatments, interior applications, moisture reduction recommendations, and lighting modifications. Seasonal timing is crucial—late summer treatments (August-September) prevent peak fall invasions.

  • Species-specific treatment plan
  • Seasonal prevention timing
  • Environmental modification plan
Step 3: Apply Perimeter & Interior Treatments
Step 3

Apply Perimeter & Interior Treatments

Technicians create a protective barrier around your home's foundation, treating the base of walls, windows, doors, and other entry points. Interior treatments target basements, crawl spaces, and areas where crickets are active. Granular baits may be applied outdoors in landscape areas where crickets congregate.

  • Comprehensive perimeter barrier
  • Interior hot-spot treatments
  • Granular bait applications
Step 4: Environmental Modifications
Step 4

Environmental Modifications

Technicians in our network provide recommendations to reduce cricket attraction: switching outdoor lights to yellow "bug lights," reducing landscape moisture, moving firewood away from the home, sealing foundation cracks, and installing door sweeps. Environmental changes significantly reduce cricket pressure on your home.

  • Lighting modification guidance
  • Moisture reduction recommendations
  • Exclusion improvements
Step 5: Seasonal Prevention Programs
Step 5

Seasonal Prevention Programs

After elimination, establish an annual prevention program with treatments scheduled before peak cricket season (late summer). Annual preventive treatments combined with environmental modifications keep your home cricket-free year after year. Entry point sealing ensures long-term protection from seasonal invasions.

Why do I suddenly have so many crickets?+
Cricket populations peak in late summer and early fall. As temperatures drop and food sources dwindle outdoors, crickets seek shelter indoors. They're attracted to outdoor lighting and enter through small cracks and gaps. Warm, moist environments attract them. Seasonal cricket invasions are common and can involve hundreds of crickets.
Are crickets harmful?+
Crickets are mostly a nuisance pest. Their constant chirping can be disruptive, especially at night. They can damage fabrics, paper, and stored foods if present in large numbers. Mole crickets damage lawns. Camel crickets don't chirp but can be alarming due to their jumping ability and appearance. Generally, they don't pose health risks.
How do you control cricket infestations?+
Effective cricket control combines perimeter treatments to create barriers, sealing entry points (gaps under doors, cracks in foundation), reducing outdoor lighting attraction, and eliminating moisture sources. Interior treatments target crickets already inside. Fall treatments before peak season provide the best prevention.
Why are crickets attracted to my home?+
Crickets are attracted to outdoor lighting, moisture, and warmth. Bright lights near entries attract crickets at night. Moisture from leaky pipes, drainage issues, or high humidity draws them in. As outdoor temperatures cool in fall, indoor warmth becomes attractive. Crickets also follow food sources like plant debris and other insects.
When is the best time to treat for crickets?+
The best time is late summer (August-September) before peak cricket season. Preventive perimeter treatments before crickets invade provide the most effective control. If you already have an infestation, immediate treatment is necessary. Some homeowners schedule annual late-summer treatments to prevent seasonal invasions.
