Our Three-Step Cricket Control Process
We want you to know exactly what to expect when you invite us to your home or business. Our 3-step process is the same clear framework we use for every pest, adapted specifically for crickets around structures in this area. Each visit is designed to find where crickets are coming from, target those areas, and help you prevent them from returning.
Inspection & Targeted Treatment
First, we conduct a detailed inspection. Our team walks the exterior of your property and, when appropriate, checks key interior areas where crickets tend to hide. This typically includes foundations, entry doors, window frames, garages, basements, utility rooms, landscaping beds, and areas with outdoor lighting. During this step, we look for live cricket activity, droppings, harborage spots, and gaps or cracks that may be letting pests inside.
Next, we perform targeted treatment using EPA-approved products that are selected with children and pets in mind. We focus on the areas where crickets live and travel, such as foundation lines, entry points, expansion joints, and problem spots identified during inspection. When needed, we can also treat certain interior areas, such as unfinished basements or storage rooms, and we explain what we’re doing and why before we start.
Our approach follows integrated pest management (IPM) principles, which means we combine product applications with practical recommendations for habitat reduction and exclusion. That may include suggestions about yard debris, vegetation touching the structure, or sealing small openings where crickets may be entering. The goal is to address both the current population and the conditions that allow crickets to thrive.
Education & Follow-Up
Finally, we end each service with clear education and a plan. We walk you through what we found, what we treated, and what to expect next. If we recommend recurring visits, we explain why, discuss timing, and outline what each visit includes so you can choose a plan that fits your situation.
A typical cricket service visit from our team may include:
- Inspection of foundations, doors, garages, and likely cricket hotspots
- Exterior treatments at key entry points and harborages using EPA-approved products
- Interior spot treatments in problem areas when appropriate and requested
- Recommendations for sealing gaps, adjusting lighting, or reducing clutter
- Discussion of follow-up options and what to watch for between visits
If you aren’t satisfied with the service, our guarantee means we’ll return to re-treat at no additional charge.
Why Crickets Become a Problem around Bluffdale Properties
Field crickets may become concentrated in late summer, and outdoor lighting can draw them toward buildings, where they gather around foundations, sidewalks, and garage doors. Once they find small gaps or open doors, they can end up inside basements, storage rooms, and office spaces.
At first, you might notice only a few chirps outside at night. As populations build, the sound can become a constant background that makes it difficult to fall asleep. For businesses that operate early or late, employees and customers may notice crickets hopping near entrances, restrooms, break areas, or warehouse doors, which can affect how people feel in your space.
Several conditions tend to support cricket activity around a structure. Cool, damp, and dark areas provide cover, while clutter, excess cardboard or boxes, dense vegetation near the foundation, and debris in landscaping beds all create harborage. Exterior lighting near doorways can draw field crickets toward entry points, especially on warm evenings. Camel crickets, which prefer dark and humid environments, often turn up in basements and crawl spaces where moisture is present.
Some crickets may chew on fabrics, cardboard, paper, and stored items, particularly when they find cluttered or damp areas to hide. If activity is heavy, droppings and dead insects may also create odors and additional cleaning work.
Professional service may be appropriate when cricket activity recurs, becomes concentrated around entrances, or moves indoors. We inspect the property to identify current activity, likely entry points, and the conditions that may be attracting crickets before recommending treatment.
Ongoing Protection for Homes & Businesses
Crickets may return as seasons change, especially when properties offer shelter, moisture, and light that attract them. That’s where our flexible preventative plans come in.
For homes, recurring treatments can help address cricket activity around foundations, landscaping, and entryways. Regular service also allows us to monitor other pests, such as ants and spiders, and make adjustments before issues grow. Many families choose quarterly service to support ongoing pest management year-round.
For commercial properties, ongoing protection is often even more important. A preschool, restaurant, church, office, or warehouse may lose customer confidence if crickets frequently appear in entryways, restrooms, or product storage areas. Whether you manage a single storefront or a larger facility, we work with you to schedule treatments at convenient times and help minimize disruption to operations.
We also offer monthly options for locations with higher pest pressure or specific operational needs. Our team explains the differences between plan types, helps you weigh cost and coverage, and adjusts the service scope to fit your building layout and risk level.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Types of Crickets Could Be Around My Property?
Possible identifications include field crickets, house crickets, and camel crickets, but a photograph may not always provide a definitive identification. Each type has different habits and preferred hiding spots.
During your inspection, we note where activity is highest and which species appear to be present, then adjust the treatment strategy and prevention advice to the conditions on your property.
How Quickly Will Crickets Go Away after Treatment?
You may notice reduced activity as products take effect and crickets contact treated areas. The timeline depends on the level of activity and conditions around the property. If activity continues, we review the situation and discuss appropriate follow-up options.
