Appearance- House crickets are usually a little less than an inch in length, with three dark stripes on their heads. Field crickets are brown or black colored and about an inch long. While most crickets have wings, some do not. Crickets tend to have long antennae, as well as long back legs which are used for jumping.
Behavior - The majority of cricket species like to live in moist places, such as your basement. Many are nocturnal. Crickets can produce a chirping sound, made by rubbing their legs together, often used to find a mate.
Crickets prefer damp environments, such as tall grass, under appliances or basements (depending on the species). Like many other pests, they come inside to seek shelter. Crickets may less frequently seek food in your pantry or gnaw on fabrics in your closet.
While crickets pose no physical threat, crickets chirping while you are trying to sleep in your Washington DC & Virginia is never fun.
Giving us a call can provide Washington DC & Virginia cricket control so that you do not have to rip apart your Washington DC & Virginia residence just to find out where the incessant chirping is coming from. We will take care of your cricket problem.

American Pest guarantees its treatment plan. If for whatever reason you have any new cricket problems or other covered pests, we will treat at your convenience and at no additional cost to you.
The barriers we put in place to protect your home and family against pests will naturally break down over time. This is why over the course of the year we will regularly reapply treatments as well as re-inspect for new conditions, avenues and sources of pests to ensure your home is protected. For more details on our treatment schedule read our Home Protection Plan page.
Your home is your largest investment.
Let American Pest protect it against pests!
