Crickets
Crickets are insects with a body shaped similar to grasshoppers but typically they’re known because of their “chirping”.
How Crickets Affect Your Home or Business:
Depending on when the chirps happen, this can be intrusive, especially in the late evening or overnight hours inside a residence. Crickets lay eggs and reproduce in moist soil found on properties. Exclusion is a big part of removing a cricket issue indoors. Inspections performed by one of our professionals will educate you moving forward with confidence to remove and exclude these insects from your residence with structural corrections that will reduce incidents seasonally.
A large infestation can develop on properties near mulch, damp spoil, wood piles, stone and general loose debris. They are known to eat products such as rye,oats,wheat and vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peas and beans. Small gardens in yards are a perfect attractant to invite these insects onto a property. Survival is typically short lived indoors but entry may reoccur and persist requiring professional intervention. Crickets can cause damage to fabrics of cotton, wool, linen, silk, synthetics and furs. This is especially prevalent on materials listed soiled with perspiration or food.
