How to identify crickets

Brown to black hopping insects up to 1 inch, with long antennae; males chirp.

Behavior and habits

They breed in tall grass and mulch, moving indoors as nights cool in late summer.

Why crickets are a problem

Beyond sleepless chirping, crickets chew fabrics, paper, and stored goods.

How Antex handles crickets

Our technicians confirm the species first, because effective control depends on it. Then we treat the source: nesting sites, harborage, and the routes onto your property, using professional products applied precisely. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back and address the issue at no additional cost.

Prevention tips

Mow the yard margin, move woodpiles off the wall, and seal weep holes and door gaps.
