While crickets seem harmless, the noise they make is quite a nuisance and can disrupt time with you and your family. Imagine trying to read while listening to an orchestra of crickets. Fortunately, you can take steps to rid them from your homes, such as by contacting an exterminator in Harford County, like Raven Termite and Pest Control.
Cricket Identification
Crickets are usually brown or black and around 3/8 of an inch to two-and-a-half inches long. They have a pair of antennas on their head, and their antennas tend to be longer than those of a grasshopper. You’ll find them most often at night since they’re primarily nocturnal.
One of the most distinctive features of crickets is the noise they make, a distinctive chirping sound.
Seal Up Your Home
The crickets inside your home won’t be able to survive there forever without a source of food and water. You can block them off from entering and exiting to get food and water by sealing up your home tightly.
Check around your windows and doors for any openings. What about your garage door? Does it seal at the bottom? Once you assess everything, seal any openings where crickets could get out of your home. Use weatherstripping around your windows and doors.
Not only does this prevent any crickets you currently have living in your home from surviving, but this step also hinders other ones from entering.
