Prevention is the key
There are two well-know types of crickets - field crickets and house crickets. Field crickets are usually dark to black in color. House crickets are much lighter - tan to light brown in color. They will live in and around the houses.
We typically receive many calls about crickets in Fall - by that time adults are entering the buildings looking for a warm shelter to spend the winter months. The biggest issues with crickets seems to be the noise they produce - crickets make this awful and repetitive noise outside and inside your home.
Cricket control involves either eliminating the crickets all together or preventing them from entering your home. Some prevention techniques include reducing the amount of lighting around the outside of your home and closing entry points.
We provide same day residential and commercial crickets treatment in the Greater Baltimore City & Baltimore County area including: Arbutus, Baltimore City, Butler, Catonsville, Cockeysville, Columbia, Eldersburg, Ellicott City, Glen Burnie, Finksburg, Hamilton, Hampstead, Hartford, Hunt Valley, Jarrettsville, Lutherville, Mount Washington, Overlea, Owings Mills, Parkville, Perry Hall, Phoenix, Pikesville, Randallstown, Reisterstown, Rosedale, Ruxton, Sykesville, Towson, Timonium, Westminister, and Woodlawn
One of the most effective prevention measures is exclusion - performing structural maintenance to close potential entry points found during initial inspection. Treating for pest without considering prevention of the future issue is a waste of time. Repeated infestation must be prevented whenever possible.
We are licensed to do both nuisance wildlife and general pest control, so no matter what's in your house or yard, we can deal with it. Our MHIC (home improvement) license authorizes us to do quality roof repairs and exclusion work to keep any new pests from entering your home.
We are also licensed to do repairs related to termite damage.
This time of year noises in the attic can only mean trouble.
