How to Identify A Cricket Infestation?

Crickets can be an amazingly annoying nuisance. Not many things can be as incessant as a cricket chirp. Most people are annoyed by the chirp before they even realize a cricket has found its way into their home. If you hear a large cricket chirp or even see a cricket in your home, you may have a cricket problem on your hands.

There are a number of cricket species in the United States. They vary in size and color but most crickets look very similar. Crickets are about four or five inches in length an come in various colors of green, yellow and brown. You can easily recognize a cricket by its large back legs, four wings and long antennae.

Obviously, the biggest sign you have crickets is by hearing them. The males rub their wings together to create that chirping sound. Crickets also like to eat fabric. If you see chewed fabric in your home chances are you have an unwanted pest in your home.

Why You Might Have Crickets

Crickets seek shelter during the hot summers and cold winters. They can fit through very small cracks in the foundation, a doorway or an open window. No matter the small space, crickets will find their way inside.

Crickets prefer sheltered, warm areas to live. Once inside, they will find in a place not easily accessible. They may also burrow into cracks in your walls or behind baseboards. Therefore, finding the source of that annoying chirping becomes almost impossible.

Reasons to Treat Your Cricket Problem Immediately

Yes, the chirping is a problem when you have a cricket issue. Male crickets tend to chirp primarily in the evening and at night. This is clearly a problem for those who like to sleep at night.

Beyond the chirping noise, a cricket infestation can also pose some health risks for your family. Crickets leave urine and droppings in and around the areas they hunt for food. If you or a family member somehow ingest cricket droppings, you could potentially get sick.
