Frequently Asked Questions About Crickets
What are crickets?
Crickets are nocturnal insects well-known for the loud chirping sounds they make at night. Cricket infestations quickly become widespread on untreated properties, and these problematic insects bring some dangers to your property. In our area of Cookeville and Crossville, TN, there are a few different types of crickets to keep an eye out for, such as:
- House crickets
- Cave crickets
- Camel crickets
The size and exact color of crickets depend on species, but you can expect these insects to grow upwards of an inch in length, be brown, green, or grayish in color, and have a large pair of hind legs that they use to make impressive jumps.
Are crickets dangerous?
Even though crickets aren’t considered a severe threat, they cause havoc when invading properties in large numbers. Inside your home, crickets feed on fabrics like carpets, clothing, and curtains, leaving behind holes and damaging threads. Cricket droppings may also stain surfaces and fabrics on your property, and cricket sounds can easily cause you to lose sleep as these chirps can be fairly loud.
The best way to deal with these pests and avoid the dangers they bring is to contact Midstate Termite & Pest Control for effective cricket removal solutions.
Why do I have a cricket problem?
Crickets often find themselves seeking shelter in human structures, especially as cold weather approaches. These pests enjoy moisture, warmth, and dark spaces to hide in, and they will easily infiltrate cracks or gaps around your property’s windows, doors, or foundations to invade interior areas.
Crickets are also attracted to lights, and electric lights that are left on constantly, such as garage lighting, security lighting, or garden lighting, may attract crickets in search of light and warmth.
