Protecting Your Home and Garden With Effective Cricket Pest Control

At Newman Termite & Pest Control, we understand the frustration and inconvenience that crickets can cause in your home and garden. Whether you’re dealing with chirping noises keeping you up at night or witnessing damage to your plants and belongings, it’s essential to take action to prevent further infestations and protect your living space. In this article, we will provide you with effective strategies and expert advice to help you eradicate crickets from your property and maintain a pest-free environment.

Understanding Crickets

Crickets are small to medium-sized insects that belong to the Gryllidae family. They are known for their distinctive chirping sounds, produced by rubbing their wings together in a process called stridulation. While some people may enjoy the melodious chirping during warm summer evenings, an overabundance of crickets can become a nuisance.

House Crickets
The House Cricket prefers warm weather but can survive year round in the Palm Springs and surrounding cities. They live in and around structures and can quickly turn into an infestation in a short period of time if no treatment is done. The house cricket is the primary source of food for black widows, scorpions, and all other large more dangerous predators in the Palm Springs Area. Controlling these pests are critical to limiting the amount of spiders and scorpions around a structure.

Signs of a Cricket Infestation

To effectively combat crickets, it’s crucial to identify the signs of an infestation early on. Look out for the following indicators:

  • Chirping Noises: Male crickets produce distinct chirping sounds, especially during the breeding season, which can be heard primarily at night.
  • Damaged Plants: Crickets feed on various plant materials, including leaves, stems, and roots, which can result in wilting, discoloration, or stunted growth.
  • Visible Crickets: Spotting crickets in and around your home, garden, or storage areas is a clear sign of infestation.
  • Egg Cases: Female crickets lay eggs in soil or other suitable locations, which appear as small, oval-shaped cases.

"Very Professional. Newman pest controls services are effective. I had all the typical bugs we usually get such as: crickets, black widows, ants, and some palmetto bugs. I get these pests every year but this year has been the worst compared to all the years I've been out here in the desert. I called Newman Pest control and Erik the owner personally came out to service my home. He did an amazing job for a good price and was honest about all my pest concerns. I decided to do a bi-monthly service to keep all the pests under control. I highly recommend using Newman you will be satisfied."
