To get rid of crickets in your house, start by reducing what attracts them. Switch outdoor lights to yellow bulbs or sodium vapor fixtures, since bright white lights draw crickets close to your home. Trim grass and vegetation away from the foundation and eliminate ground cover within two feet of the structure. Seal gaps under doors, around windows, and along utility penetrations. Address moisture issues in basements and crawl spaces, as damp areas are particularly attractive to camel crickets. Professional perimeter treatment around the foundation creates a barrier that kills crickets before they get inside, and interior treatments target any established populations in basements and crawl spaces. Quarterly service provides year-round protection against crickets and other seasonal invaders.
