Granule treatment

Weather-resistant granules in landscape beds, river rock and turf edges, where crickets harbor and sprays can't reach.

Perimeter barrier

Liquid treatment around the foundation, garage thresholds and block wall bases cuts off their route inside.

Scorpion defense, built in

Report cricket activity along with scorpion sightings. Both are covered by recurring general pest protection.

Moisture control guidance

Crickets chase water in a dry climate. We flag over-running drip emitters, pooling irrigation and damp mulch that quietly turn a yard into a nursery.

Light-smart fixes

Bright white porch and coach lights pull crickets to your walls all night. We point out the simple lighting changes that stop feeding them.

Field crickets, house crickets and why your garage is loud

Both breed in irrigated landscape, under rock and inside block wall voids. Both are nocturnal, which is why the chirping starts right when you want to sleep, males chirp to attract mates, so a loud yard is literally a breeding yard.

And both are protein for scorpions, spiders and centipedes. A cricket problem is rarely just a cricket problem. It's the base of a food web you don't want on your property.

Treatment follows the areas with activity

The inspection considers sightings or chirping locations, landscape beds, wall areas, garage edges, and common entry points. Treatment areas and products depend on the property, access, and label instructions.

Scheduled visits maintain the agreed scope. If activity continues between visits, report the location so NEARPEST can review covered-pest re-service under the written guarantee. Structural sealing is separate from recurring treatment.

Why cricket numbers explode after the monsoon

Tell us when cricket activity changes and where you hear or see it. Include any scorpion sightings so the inspection can consider both concerns.

Ask what the treatment covers

Different areas can require different application methods. Confirm the areas to be treated, preparation, and any access restrictions with the technician. A specific product or visit schedule does not promise that the property will never have another cricket.

Keeping crickets out of the garage

Inside, crickets use the same gaps everything else does: worn door sweeps, plumbing and utility penetrations, and unscreened weep holes at the stucco base. We treat those entry points and voids and flag the ones worth sealing, because a cricket already chirping in a wall is far harder to reach.

Common questions

Are crickets covered by a general pest plan?

Yes. Crickets are included in General Pest Protection on Quarterly, Home Defense, and Monthly. Billing is monthly; scheduled visits follow the selected calendar-month interval.

Does treatment include sealing my garage?

Structural sealing is separate from recurring treatment. Describe sightings or chirping locations so the inspection can consider the relevant areas and any entry concerns.

How quickly will the chirping stop?

A fixed result time is not promised. Report the location and continued activity so NEARPEST can review findings and covered-pest re-service under the active plan’s written guarantee.
