Common Cricket Problems in St. Petersburg
Not all cricket problems are the same. In our area, homeowners typically face issues with two different types of crickets, each requiring a specific approach. Identifying which one is causing your problem is the first step toward an effective solution to protect your home and property.
Here are the cricket issues we most often encounter:
- House Crickets: These are the noisy intruders you find in your home. Attracted to warmth and moisture, they hide in dark spaces like basements, closets, and behind appliances. Their constant chirping is the most common complaint, but they can also chew on fabrics, paper, and wallpaper.
- Mole Crickets: These destructive pests live underground and are a major threat to Florida lawns. They tunnel through the soil, feeding on grass roots and creating spongy, uneven turf and patches of dead or dying grass. Their damage can quickly ruin the appearance of a healthy lawn.
Whether the problem is inside your house or out on the lawn, a professional treatment plan is the best way to manage these pests.
Our Cricket Control Process
At Geiger's Pest Services, we use a systematic approach to control crickets and prevent their return. Our methods are built on over 100 years of combined team experience and a deep understanding of cricket behavior. We are dedicated to providing a solution that is both thorough and effective, backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Our expert cricket control service follows these steps:
- Comprehensive Inspection: We start by inspecting your property to identify the type of cricket, locate their hiding spots or areas of lawn damage, and find potential entry points into your home.
- Targeted Treatment Plan: For house crickets, we apply treatments to cracks, crevices, and other hiding places. For mole crickets, we use specialized lawn treatments designed to control the population underground.
- Exterior Barrier Application: To prevent future invasions of house crickets, we apply a protective barrier around the perimeter of your home, focusing on foundation cracks, doorways, and windows.
- Expert Recommendations: Our technicians will provide you with valuable advice on how to make your property less attractive to crickets, such as managing moisture levels and adjusting outdoor lighting.
Our goal is to deliver a complete service that brings you lasting relief.
The Importance of Professional Cricket Control
Trying to manage a cricket infestation with store-bought sprays can be a frustrating exercise. House crickets are skilled at hiding, making them difficult to locate, while their chirping seems to echo from everywhere. For mole crickets, surface-level products rarely penetrate deep enough to solve the problem at its root.
A professional pest control company offers the expertise and tools necessary for effective control. Technicians can accurately identify the cricket species and apply the correct, professional-grade products to eliminate them, whether they are hiding in your walls or tunneling through your lawn.
By hiring an expert, you save time and gain a more reliable outcome. Professionals can create a barrier to stop future invasions and offer lawn treatments that truly work, protecting your property and restoring your quiet environment far more effectively than DIY methods.

FAQs About Cricket Control in St. Petersburg
Why are crickets chirping in my house?
The chirping sound is made by male crickets to attract females. They are likely finding their way inside your home in search of moisture, food, and shelter. The sound can be very difficult to locate as it bounces off walls.
How can I tell if I have mole crickets in my lawn?
The most common signs of mole crickets are irregular brown patches of dead grass and a spongy or bumpy feel to the turf. You may also see their small tunnel entrances, which are about the size of a dime.
Are your cricket treatments safe for my family and pets?
Yes. The safety of your family is our priority. We use products and application methods that are designed for effectiveness while being mindful of your loved ones. Our technicians will provide you with any specific instructions on the day of service.
How do you keep crickets from coming back?
Our service includes creating a protective barrier around your home's exterior. We also provide recommendations like reducing moisture near your foundation, sealing cracks, and using yellow-bulb outdoor lights, which are less attractive to crickets.
