HOW TO GET RID OF CRICKETS IN YOUR HOUSE

By admin | Blog | September 23rd 2022

Which do you prefer: the sound of a leaf blower or a chorus of crickets? It’s
officially fall on Long Island and we’re beginning to hear both! Unlike a leaf
blower, however, crickets do more than just make noise if they get inside your
home; read on to learn some basic cricket facts, like how they won’t be shy
about eating holes through your favorite clothes, drapery, and other fabrics.
We’ll also cover cricket prevention tips and how to prevent crickets in your
home this fall.


BASIC FACTS ABOUT CRICKETS ON LONG ISLAND

Got a burning cricket question? Read on—we’ll try to answer it for you here!


WHAT KIND OF CRICKETS ARE FOUND ON LONG ISLAND?

Overall, in the United States there are over 120 different species of crickets.
On Long Island, you may find field crickets, camel / cave crickets or house
crickets inside your home.


WHAT DAMAGE DO CRICKETS CAUSE?

Crickets cause surprising damage. Each of the three species common to Long
Island is known for damaging fabrics like silk and wool, to name a couple, as
well as paper, fruits, and vegetables. House crickets are the type of cricket
you’ll most likely see inside your home, and these crickets usually invade in
large numbers which can be overwhelming to control, and cause significant damage
quickly.

Why Do Crickets Come Inside?

When crickets move inside Long Island homes, they’re usually in search of warmth
and moisture. That’s why most often, you’ll find them in your home’s basement,
crawl space, shed, or garage in dark, damp areas. It’s always a good idea to
minimize moisture in these areas to deter crickets and other pests.


HOW LONG DO CRICKETS LIVE?

Most crickets can live for a year or more. They grow by molting. House crickets
get their common name from the fact that they often enter houses where they can
survive indefinitely.


WHAT DO CRICKETS DO? HOW DO THEY BEHAVE?

Crickets hide in the daytime to avoid predators, making them nocturnal.

When seeking potential mates, typically, male crickets will choose a spot to get
the loudest sound that they can. They rub their legs together to make that
chirping sound. They defend these places from other males.  Males sometime have
chirping “duels”, each one trying to sound better for potential
partners. Crickets are more active and likely to chirp faster and louder on a
warm night.


WHAT DO CRICKETS EAT?

Many crickets are omnivores: they eat fruit, nectar, seeds, small insects, some
leaves, and will even nibble on dead larger animals. For food, camel crickets
consume wood, carpet, fungi, cardboard, other insects, and even other camel
crickets in some instances.


HOW CAN YOU PREVENT CRICKETS FROM INVADING?

Start by running a dehumidifier to reduce the moisture in your basement or
crawlspace. You’ll see fewer crickets, sowbugs, pillbugs, centipedes, silverfish
and others!

You should also look outside to see where insects can easily enter your home.
Are there any unsealed cracks, crevices, or openings by pipes? Seal those
openings. Don’t forget to check your dryer vents. Open dryer vents also allow
bugs to enter your home. Fix all leaking pipes and your leaky sump pump.
