Top of Page Cricket Elimination
Adult house crickets are 3/4-1 inch long, light yellowish-brown with 3 dark bands on
the head. They will eat almost anything, often causing damage to woolens and silk.
Crickets are nocturnal, hiding during the daytime but becoming active and vocal during the
night. The "song" or chirping sound of the house cricket is welcome anywhere
except in structures. Crickets can be found in basements, crawlspaces, kitchens,
fireplaces, behind appliances, behind baseboards and other cracks, crevices and wall
voids.

This cricket is slightly longer than the House Cricket and is dark brown to gray or
black. They prefer to live outside, feeding on plants, but will come inside if food
sources dry up or there or unfavorable extremes in temperatures.

This cricket is also known as a hump-back cricket due to it's hump-back appearance.
They are light to dark brown, about 1/2 -1 1/2 inch long. Their diet is almost
anything but will feed on clothes. Most often are found in crawl spaces and
basements, but also like any cool and damp area like under logs or stones. Treat as
you would the House Cricket, but pay particular attention to crawl spaces and basements.

Cricket elimination is best accomplished by combining a good residual spray
with a professional bait. Spray is to be used indoors and outdoors, baits are placed
in hiding places where sprays cannot be used but where crickets can be found. Baits
can also be used outdoors.
Odorless insecticide spray products such as Permethrin Pro, Suspend SC or Ficam W are best for long term control.
Choose the size or formulation that best suits you. Spray outdoors around
windows, doors, vents, weep holes, plumbing lines or other possible entry points.
You also need to spray a band around the structure, three feet high and to the ground (on
your exterior walls) as well as a six foot swath on the ground. This will create a
barrier that not only kills existing crickets and other insect pests but also prevents
outdoor bugs from becoming indoor pests. To help eliminate crickets from
attics, basements or cracks and crevices, Maxforce
FG Granular Bait or Baygon Bait
are recommended. Baygon Bait is best for large jobs, Maxforce
FG is best suited for smaller jobs. Maxforce FG and Baygon Bait are
best applied using the Crusader Duster.
This handy duster allows you to effectively penetrate insect hiding places with baits or
dusts.
If you do not feel comfortable using a spray, you
should used Baygon Bait around the outside
perimeter of your home and also apply the bait to cracks and crevices indoors, attics,
basements, crawlspaces and other hiding places.
