Know Your Enemy: Crickets
Crickets are nocturnal insects with somewhat round heads and bodies. They have long antennae and prominent hind legs. While crickets generally only live for 90 days, they can still cause a lot of problems. Because they prefer warmer temperatures, they may invade your home looking for warmth and shelter. These insects can be a nuisance, but, fortunately, they do not bite or sting humans. Instead, they eat things like paper or fabric, which can cause a lot of damage to your home. Finally, it’s important to know that crickets can spread diseases like e-coli or salmonella.
Not all crickets are the same! There are several types of crickets common in the United States, such as:
- House cricket
- Field cricket
- Mole cricket
- Camel or humpback cricket
Among the species listed above, house crickets or field crickets are the ones that you’ll most likely find in or around your property. If you spot crickets in your home, give us a call right away! We’ll be able to determine the extent of the infestation and provide solutions to keep your home safe from future infestations as well.
