Preventative Cricket Control

Once a female cricket makes it into your home, it's possible for her to lay hundreds of eggs. Since it takes almost a year for cricket eggs to hatch, an early detection is almost impossible. Here are some tips to help avoid attracting crickets into your home:

Crickets get in through cracks. Make sure you fill cracks in walls and your foundation. Crickets are bound to sneak their way in rather than go through the front door. Screened porches that are open to the house during the summer months are especially susceptible.

Crickets love tall grasses. If you have tall grasses near or around your house, it's best to keep them trimmed low. Crickets tend to find refuge in these grasses and will usually migrate from those areas onto your house, eventually finding shelter indoors.

Crickets live in debris. Crickets are attracted to moist, shaded debris, like grass clippings. So if you're mowing your lawn or clipping tall grasses, make sure to rake them away from the house. A compost heap several yards away is always a good idea.

Crickets feed on garbage. If you want to avoid inviting crickets to nest near your home, it's best to keep garbage recipticles sealed and kept several yards from your home.

Crickets gather in drains. The moist debris found in the gutters on your roof are the perfect place for crickets to find shelter. Make sure you keep them clean throughout the summer months.

Cricket Traps and Cricket Bait

It's not always possible to keep crickets out, no matter how much lawn care and cleaning you do. If part 1 of this guide fails you, and the alternative doesn't produce results, there are always insecticides, baits, and poisons that are easily found on the internet. Some of these solutions are spread around the parameter of your house, others (traps) are set inside and outside your house to reduce populations, and still others are just left on your floor to pick off those unlucky stragglers. It's up to you to decide what's the most safe and effective solution to your pest problem.

Once you've completed these steps, your cricket problem should be solved and you can once again enjoy chirpless nights, knowing your wardrobe won't be turned into so much cricket droppings.

you could try calling a local exterminator and have them spray the perimieter of your home. That should take care of the ones just outside your window i'm not to sure how big of an area they could possibly cover...

at least they're not inside the house, good luck.

I don't think you can get rid of them. Can you go to sleep with your radio on? Or maybe buy a noisy clean-air machine & place it near the head of your bed. Have you thought about ear plugs? You can get them at the drugstore

haha good luck pal!! im right there with ya!! ya dont realize how HORRIBLY insulated your house is until you hear that ALLLLLLLL NIGHT and ALLLLL MORNING.. get some ear plugs and pray for an early winter :D

go to your local garden and lawn center and buy some dursban or diazanon granules, they need to be sprinkled down and then watered in to be effective...good luck!

Catch them, lol, and go fishing. Bass love them

How can you even hear them? I dont know what to do, buy some garder snakes?

dynamite!!!
