Cricket Control: Stop the Chirping
Loud at night, destructive by day. We get crickets out and keep them out.
One cricket in the garage will keep you up all night. A dozen in the house will eat through fabrics, paper, and even wallpaper. Crickets are seasonal invaders, and when they show up, they usually bring friends.
Why Crickets Are a Problem
The risks go beyond the nuisance. Here's why crickets need to be dealt with fast.
- Loud, constant chirping keeps households awake
- Damage fabrics, paper, wallpaper, and stored items
- Invade garages, basements, and crawl spaces in large numbers
- Attract larger predator pests (spiders, scorpions)
- Can carry parasites that affect pets
Signs You Have Crickets
Know what to look for. Early detection means faster, cheaper treatment.
- Persistent chirping at night (especially garages, basements)
- Sightings of brown or black crickets indoors
- Chewed fabrics, paper, or stored items
- Droppings that look like black pepper
- Increased activity in late summer and fall
How Bugstinct Treats Crickets
A professional, thorough approach, not a surface-level spray.
- 1 Perimeter exterior treatment around the foundation
- 2 Interior spot treatment in garages, basements, utility rooms
- 3 Treatment of mulch beds and landscaping where they breed
- 4 Exclusion recommendations (weatherstripping, door sweeps)
- 5 Recurring service during cricket season
Why DIY Fails
Store-bought sprays don't hold up outdoors, and crickets just reinvade from the yard. Without perimeter treatment and exclusion, you're fighting an endless wave. Professional service treats the source and seals the entry.
