Cricket Control Northern VA | Northern VA Cricket Exterminator
Fox Pest Control’s Northern VA Cricket Exterminator Service
In many cultures, crickets are a sign of good luck. In your home, they are not. Crickets are mostly harmless, but their endless chirping is enough to keep you awake all night. Unlike their cousins the grasshopper, crickets are nocturnal, meaning your chances of actually seeing them is rare. They are attracted to your Northern VA home for three reasons: Food, shelter, and light. Just keeping your porch lights on is enough to bring them near your home. They also serve as prey for many larger insects and animals, meaning if you have crickets, you may have bigger problems. It is best practice to call an exterminator to get rid of crickets on your property or in your home. At Fox Pest Control, we want to help you exterminate crickets; we want you to feel safe and comfortable in your Northern VA home.

The spider cricket, also known as the camel cricket or hump-backed cricket, can eat wood, cardboard, plants, or other insects, including other spider crickets. If these crickets have entered your home, they aren’t going to hurt you, but they can cause problems by eating parts of your Northern VA home.
Usually, the biggest problem crickets can cause is attracting other insects to your yard or inside your home. Because crickets in Northern VA are high in protein, raccoons, spiders, centipedes, birds, and other animals are likely to come on your property if you have lots of crickets.
Since most are omnivores, crickets will eat plants, meat, or other insects. Crickets in Northern VA tend to eat whatever they can.
