Characteristics of Crickets
Crickets are typically 0.75 to 1.00 inches in length. They have large jumping hind legs with long thin antennae that are approximately half the length of the head and abdomen combined.

How to Deal with Crickets
Crickets thrive in warm, moist environments. Around homes, they collect near indoor heaters, kitchens, and fireplaces. Infestations occur when the pests come indoors for shelter or when crickets intended as pet food escape into the house. This annoys homeowners because the pests are known for their loud chirping and are most active at night.
Chemical Free Control Practices
- Ventilation: ventilating especially moist areas can rid their presence.
- Clean: vacuuming regularly can help remove eggs and adults.
