Crickets

San Antonio Cricket Control

Effective Cricket Control Services Since 1948 

Crickets are a common nuisance throughout the United States. Throughout Texas, cricket infestations are fairly predictable as adults will typically emerge in August through September. Although crickets are not a threat to humans, in mass numbers they can cause damage to plants and seedlings. They flock to lights at night leaving piles of dead crickets and a foul odor. During some of the more notorious cricket seasons there have been infestations so severe that they have made the local news.

Crickets can be difficult to control because they lay their eggs in the soil. The summer months are the best time to manage cricket populations in the fall. If you see a few crickets, there could be hundreds or thousands more that are not visible and delaying pest control for crickets could easily lead to a population that becomes extremely invasive.
