Crickets are noisy pests that can frequently be heard chirping in the home, especially in the late summer months. They are often brown or black in coloration and have large legs capable of propelling them long distances when they jump. They are mostly active from the late spring to the end of summer. A single female cricket will lay up to 100 eggs in her lifetime, and one nest may have up to 1,000 members!

Typically nocturnal, crickets are most commonly noticed by the “chirping” sound they make. They’re often found outdoors, but they can come inside or take up residence under patios, garages, or other sheltered places. Crickets also like to take shelter near the foundation of a home, often taking advantage of the gap between a house’s stem wall and stucco/siding. Crickets occupying gap spaces are especially difficult to find and shoo away on your own. You will need to call a professional Mesa pest control company to help with this situation.
