Persistent chirping sounds, especially at night, coming from walls, basements, or crawl spaces.
Need a cricket exterminator?
Crickets are noisy pests that can become a persistent nuisance when they enter homes, often hiding in dark, damp areas and multiplying quickly if not addressed.
- DIY methods may offer temporary relief, but they often fail to eliminate the source of the infestation.
- Professional cricket pest control helps identify where crickets are entering and hiding, then applies targeted treatments to help reduce activity at the source and disrupt the infestation.
- Cricket control services provided by Terminix combine treatment and prevention strategies to help eliminate active infestations and reduce the likelihood of crickets returning.
Your cricket treatment options
Our experts use proven, targeted methods to help eliminate cricket infestations. Each cricket pest control service is customized to the severity of the issue and the specific areas where crickets are active.
Residual treatments
Terminix technicians can apply targeted treatments along interior and exterior entry points and high-activity areas where crickets travel and hide, such as baseboards, cracks, and wall edges. These applications leave behind a residual barrier that continues working after treatment to reduce cricket activity and help prevent them from returning.
Insecticidal dusts
Insecticidal dusts are used in dry, hard-to-reach spaces such as wall voids, crawl spaces, and behind structural gaps. Our experts can apply these dusts where crickets hide, allowing the product to settle into areas that sprays cannot easily reach.

We got invaded, wildlife need to stay outside not inside. Called and they came, very fast and efficient. We do have dogs I was concerned for but what they use was safe for our dogs.

Terminix did a good job of taking care of my raccoons in the attic problem. Animals were captured and removed. Terminix showed up on time as scheduled. Phone communications were very good in getting everything coordinated. The cleaning and wildlife barriers were accomplished in one day with very little mess or inconvenience.

We've used Terminix for a while now and have always been happy with their provided services. Even when 'nature finds a way' to get back where it doesn't belong, they are very prompt to swing by to take care of the problem. We recently used Terminix to remove the insulation, sanitize, and re-blow insulation into our entire attic. The process went from inspection, to quote, to completion within the same week. The crew was very respectful of our home, pets, and our time. You might be able to find cheaper options out there, but for the amount of care the technicians provide with every service I recommend you go with Terminix.

Was very impressed with the quick response and efficiency in dealing with our home. Keith Sacco was great to deal with and made himself available to handle all our questions. Well done. The work performed by the wildlife exclusion tech and the moisture barrier installers was top notch also.

What to expect from Terminix cricket control services
Inspection
Your Terminix technician will begin with a thorough inspection of your home to identify cricket activity, potential entry points, and harborage areas. This allows them to determine the extent of the infestation and develop a targeted cricket pest control plan.
Treatment
Your technician will then develop a customized treatment plan that targets active cricket areas and addresses key contributing factors, such as gaps, cracks, and other potential entry points that may need to be sealed.
Prevention
Your technician may also provide prevention recommendations to help reduce conditions that attract crickets and limit future activity. These steps help make it harder for crickets to enter and reestablish themselves.
FAQs about cricket control
There are some DIY cricket control methods homeowners may try to manage these pests, including sticky traps and placing diatomaceous earth or boric acid. While these methods may provide limited relief, they do not address the source of the infestation.
It’s best to try to eliminate what attracts crickets instead. Reducing indoor moisture, fixing leaks, sealing cracks and gaps, and replacing damaged door and window screens can help make your home less attractive to crickets.
Although crickets can damage clothing and other fabrics such as cotton, silk, wool, and linen, they are not dangerous or harmful to humans or pets. They are not known to bite, can’t sting, and do not spread dangerous diseases.
Cricket pest control services can vary depending on the infestation size, species, location, and property size. For the most accurate estimate, schedule a free inspection with our experts.
Crickets can enter homes through small cracks or gaps around doors or windows in search of food or water. They are often attracted to white lights and high moisture areas. Crickets will stick around if they have safe hiding spots, such as cluttered areas around your home.
