Pests We Treat : Crickets

Crickets are a nuisance pest that can keep you awake at night with their incessant chirping. They also know to chew/eat fabric—including your clothing and blankets—and destroy paper products and pet food. While they are not harmful or dangerous to your health, they can still interrupt your daily life. In order to combat an infestation of crickets, you can count on the team at My Pest Pros.

How to Identify Crickets

Crickets are characterized by their large, strong, hind legs for jumping and yellowish brown or shiny, black color. They have two sets of wings and long antennae. The most obvious sign of crickets in your home is a loud chirping noise. A cricket makes this sound by rubbing their front wings together in an attempt to attract a mate.

Since they are nocturnal, it is likely that this sound will only be present at night. They are drawn to moist or warm settings within your home or building. They are often found in basements and garages. Another sign of a cricket infestation is chewed fabric. If you see signs of a cricket infestation, don’t hesitate to contact us for cricket removal or inspection.

My Pest Pros has provided quality service to us for several years. Each technician, especially Chris, provides excellent service and suggestions for solving any problems we might have. We definitely recommend them.

Anne PriorFairfax, VA

The technician handling our property, Mr. Hargrove, is obviously quite capable. He has, from the first visit, explained what he was doing and fully answered all our questions. The results of his efforts are evident in the fact that the latest visit provided evidence that the infestation was not spreading and also none of the "bait" had been consumed since his last visit. Thank you for providing us with the services of this fine gentleman. We would have no problems recommending him and your firm to friends and neighbors.

Chris came out to my house in a timely manner. He showed me where mice had been eating the bait in one of the traps. I appreciate learning more about rodent control. Chris was informative and polite. Thanks.

The young man that came by my house today to do a treatment was "excellent!" He noticed in my backyard there were ant hills and he immediately sprayed that area. All I can say was keep up the good work Sinjay.
