Crickets are insects that are well known for the males chirping sound, which is accomplished by the rubbing together of the front wings. One of the more common crickets in our geography is the house cricket. House crickets are 1/2 to 7/8 of an inch in length and yellowish brown in color with three dark crossbands on their head. The adult female has an egg laying structure known as an ovipositor at the tip of the abdomen. Under IDEAL conditions the female will lay as many as 728 eggs.
Although they prefer to live outdoors, house crickets may seek harbor in a garage, shed, or home when weather conditions change from warm to cold.
House crickets are not be considered dangerous. The two main concerns with this insect are the males chirping predominately at night and that they are known to chew up fabric.
House crickets may be difficult to control. That's why our service includes the necessary products and follow up visits for one fee. Our treatment methods consist of the following:
Initial Service - Detailed inspection of the interior and exterior of your home, then a targeted treatment of all areas where activity is present. Each Initial Service includes the application of seven exclusive Pest Guard steps, designed to rid your home of unwanted pests and keep them away.
Follow Up - Quarterly interior/exterior or exterior-only services will be scheduled as part of our annual Integrated Pest Management program. All Schendel Premium Care customers enjoy the benefit of our PestZero Guarantee. If pests return in between visits, Schendel returns for free.
Due to the complexity of treatment and the time required, crickets are generally not a pest many people have success in eradicating without professional assistance. Beware when purchasing pesticides and other products online as many are not effective. Pesticides can be harmful to people and pets if they are misused or mixed improperly.
Schendel is 100% committed to helping you ASAP. In most cases, we can respond the same or very next day.
Schendel uses the least amount of material as possible while still resolving the problem. We utilize natural products, baits and mechanical means as a form of treatment as much as possible.

All products are found to be effective and registered by the EPA and our service technicians will inform you of any specific safety measures that need to be taken.
