Pests We Treat
Cricket Facts
Crickets are related to grasshoppers. They have long antennae, strong back legs for jumping and are most active at night. Males chirp by rubbing their wings together to attract females, which is why one cricket indoors can keep a whole family awake.
Crickets in Florida
- House and field crickets: brown to black crickets that live outdoors and wander inside, attracted by lights and warmth.
- Camel crickets: humpbacked, wingless crickets that do not chirp. They live in damp, dark places like garages and crawl spaces.
- Mole crickets: burrowing crickets with shovel-like front legs. In Florida they are a major lawn pest, tunneling through turf and feeding on grass roots.
Indoors, crickets can chew holes in cotton, wool, silk and paper, especially fabrics with food or sweat stains.
Signs of Crickets
- Chirping at night, often from a garage, laundry room or wall
- Holes or rough spots chewed in clothing, curtains or paper
- Raised tunnels, spongy turf and thinning grass in the lawn (mole crickets)
How to Keep Crickets Out
- Replace bright outdoor bulbs with yellow or warm LED lights
- Install door sweeps and seal cracks around doors, windows and foundations
- Keep grass mowed and vegetation trimmed back from the house
- Reduce moisture in garages and crawl spaces
Our Cricket Treatment
We treat the perimeter of your home and the places crickets hide, use baits where they are active, and help you seal entry points. If mole crickets are damaging your lawn, we confirm the cause and time a lawn treatment to when they are young and near the surface. Crickets also attract scorpions and spiders, so controlling them helps with those pests too.
Our quarterly 4 Seasons Pest Control service treats your home right away, then returns each season. There are no long-term contracts, and if pests come back between visits, so do we, at no extra charge. Call 1-855-624-2847 to schedule your service.
