Crickets
Give us a call today: 215-346-7160For most homeowners, crickets remind us of warm and fun summer nights spent outdoors. But for anyone dealing with a cricket problem in their house, it can be quite another story. Crickets can be abundant and difficult to eliminate depending on where the source of the problem is and how open your home is to the outside world. Crickets can sneak through tiny openings and other cracks in the walls, and their eggs can be difficult to locate when trying to remove them.
One thing is certain–trying to eliminate a cricket infestation is extremely difficult on your own. We don’t recommend that homeowners try fruitlessly to capture every cricket they can, or set up DIY traps, due to how extensive the problem can be. Carney All Seasons targets the problem at its source, removing not only the cricket eggs, but the crickets themselves as we prepare your home for the future.

The Cause of a Cricket Infestation
Crickets are drawn towards the humid conditions we usually see during the summer. They like warmth, moisture, food, and shelter, most of which can be found in a home. The good news is that cleaning up stagnant water and removing the conditions for mold to grow is usually going to be enough to keep crickets from getting into your house, but not always.
First, start by cleaning up any remaining moisture sitting in your home. Crickets feed on food, but not the same food that you do. They can consume fibers like clothes, carpets, curtains, furniture, and napkins which can cause holes and other issues you might not be prepared for. Old, antique quilts can become feeding grounds for these pests if they’re not dealt with properly.
What Is The Sound of a Cricket Problem?
You might already know about the sound crickets make. It’s seen so often in media that it’s practically a running joke. In many cultures, crickets are actually considered good luck because their sounds can be quite musical–but if you’ve got a pest problem, these sounds can be debilitating.
You might be able to identify some of the crickets by their sound. They’re loud and disruptive, so make sure you tell one of our professional pest control specialists where you hear the sounds and how loud they are so we can accurately pinpoint the problem.
Removing the Cricket Problem at Its Source
Crickets can be removed with normal insect pest control materials such as diatomaceous earth, sticky traps, and vacuuming. This might sound like an easy DIY job, but it’s actually the opposite. Our team has to diagnose the problem, identify where the crickets are located, and assess the damage before we can adequately remove them from your house. All of this needs to be done together in quick succession.
We promise that our team can identify and remove the cricket problem entirely from your house. Trust Carney All Seasons in Bucks and Montgomery, PA, from start to finish!
