Crickets Ruining Your Noisy Nights? Let Bug Squashers of Maryland Bring Peace Back
Crickets may not appear to be a lot, but once they have settled in your house, their incessant chirping will get anyone's goat. And that's not to mention the noise, crickets can damage clothes, paper, and even invite other unwanted bugs into your house. At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we use a thorough cricket control process to eliminate the problem and keep them from coming back. Here's what we do:
We begin with a comprehensive inspection of your home and yard. Crickets will hide in dark, damp places like crawl spaces, basements, and near outdoor lighting. Our trained technicians look for all possible entry points and nesting areas to gain a complete understanding of the infestation.
Upon inspection, we identify areas with the most cricket activity. This is usually in the mulch beds, under porches, foundation cracks, and around outdoor lighting. These are the locations to target when attempting to eliminate at the source.
After knowing where the crickets are coming from, we employ specially targeted treatments using baits, sprays, and barrier materials. We treat nest sites and other usual hiding areas, both within and outside your home. We also treat points of entry in order to exclude the crickets from returning.
Cricket control is not only about eliminating, but also preventing. We recommend that you take steps such as limiting outdoor night lights, closing cracked windows and doors, and storing firewood outside the house. Small steps can make a big impact towards preventing crickets.
We don't just spray and go. Our professionals go back for follow-ups to see if crickets have returned. If needed, we adjust the treatment program and provide further recommendations to further fortify your home's protection.
We don't just kill crickets at Bug Squashers of Maryland — we give you your serene nights' sleep back. Our efficient process offers rapid relief and long-lasting control so your home stays quiet, clean, and pest-free.
A single chirp or two at night won't hurt anything—until it turns into a full-blown cricket symphony in your basement. Crickets themselves are not usually harmful to humans, but they will destroy property, attract predators, and totally disrupt your sleep pattern. These are the signs that they have moved in on your house:
This one's not so easy to ignore. Male crickets sing to attract females, and they can't get enough of doing it in the middle of the night. If the noise is steady and getting louder every evening, they're not out somewhere roaming around—they're living nearby.
Crickets sneak around, though, and when you catch them scurrying along baseboards, bathrooms, or exposed basement areas, they're just plenty more hiding somewhere you can't see. Dark, damp sites are what crickets prefer, and they will retreat indoors as the weather drops in the fall.
Crickets love to munch on natural fibers. If your clothing, sofa, or even important documents have small chew marks or holes, you may have a cricket infestation. They chew at night, and the evidence is discovered in the morning.
While less frequent, cricket infestation can have visible sheddings of the skin or droppings. These will usually be seen at corners, where appliances are against a wall, or under baseboards. When you see tiny black pepper-like dots, expect that you will have more than a few chirpers.
Crickets are drawn toward light, evening in particular. If you observe them gathering where porch lights, doorways, or windows cast light at dusk, that tells you they are there and thriving—and likely intent on getting indoors. When the chirping just won't quit and the sightings pile up, it's time to bring in the pros.
At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we spot cricket hotspots, eliminate the infestation, and help keep them from coming back—so you can once more sleep peacefully through the night.
You can hear it at night. A high-pitched chirp that refuses to abate. Crickets are perhaps the most identifiable insect by sound alone—but they're more than a symphony of noise. These tiny hoppers are more of a pest than that.
Crickets spend most of their lives outdoors in warm temperatures, but when winter arrives, they seek shelter and heat. And that includes basements, crawl spaces, garages, and walls. Once inside, they are hard to get rid of without help.
Not only are crickets loud—they're also destructive. They love to munch their way through clothing, carpet, upholstery, and paper products. If you've seen unwanted holes in your favorite button-down or frayed hems on your curtains, crickets might be to blame.
Like most insects, crickets reproduce rapidly. One female cricket can deposit hundreds of eggs in her lifetime. And whereas one chirp from a cricket may be tolerable, an infestation is a nightmare waiting to happen.
Crickets are attracted to light sources like moths. That's why you'll find them flying around porch lights or hanging around lamps and televisions. Once inside, they are attracted to electronics and heat-emitting appliances.
You can vacuum, trap, or spray crickets—but if you don't hit their nests and entry points, they'll just continue to reappear. Crickets are sneaky, and eggs will hide in spots you don't expect. Crickets problems don't work themselves out. We understand where crickets reside and how to eliminate them forever at Bug Squashers of Maryland.
Do not wait until they take over your area if you hear one or fifty. Call in the professionals today—so you can once again have peace and quiet.
