What are the signs of a cricket infestation?
Signs of a cricket infestation include hearing the distinctive chirping sound of male crickets, particularly at night. You may also see crickets in your home, especially in damp, dark areas like basements, garages, and crawl spaces. Crickets are typically light brown or black and have long antennae and powerful hind legs for jumping.
If you suspect a cricket infestation, prompt action is essential. Magna Pest Solutions offers a free inspection as part of our comprehensive cricket control program. Our trained professionals can quickly identify the extent of the infestation and provide targeted treatments to eliminate these pests from your home.
Where might you find crickets?
In the home, crickets are commonly found in damp, dark areas such as basements, garages, crawl spaces, and kitchens. They can also be found hiding under furniture, in closets, and in other undisturbed areas. Outdoors, crickets are often found in gardens, under rocks, and in leaf litter.
Geographically, crickets are found worldwide and can thrive in various environments. They are particularly prevalent in warm, humid climates and areas with abundant moisture.
When are cricket invasions likely to occur?
Cricket invasions can occur at any time of the year, but they are often more noticeable during the warmer months when they are more active. During these times, crickets are more likely to enter homes in search of food, moisture, and warmth. They are also more active during the night.
