Hey guys, just moved into a new house and I’m hearing the chirps of crickets at night. Can these little guys actually infest a home like ants or roaches?
Absolutely, @BugBuster101 If there’s warmth and food, crickets aren’t shy about becoming uninvited roommates.
Agree with @critter_catcher Plus, if they find their way to your laundry or any fabric, they might start eating away at them!
@Extermin8r Good point. And don’t forget, they multiply quickly. If you see one, there are probably more hiding. It’s important to deal with it ASAP.
Yes, they can! My friend had a cricket infestation last year. Crickets like warm, moist environments, so houses can be perfect for them.
That’s right! If you have a basement or a crawl space, that’s where they’d likely start. Sealing entrances and reducing moisture can help prevent an infestation.
Absolutely!Keeping a dry, clean house and using diatomaceous earth can be effective preventive measures.
When crickets first started showing up in my laundry room.
I try essential oils, like peppermint oil. It’s a natural insect deterrent and smells good too!
Did you know crickets can jump up to 3 feet? That’s insane for home infestations!
Yes, and that’s why they can get into unclosed windows easily. Always check your screens for holes!
