Crickets

Secondary pest prevention and scorpion food sources.

• In the Valley, crickets aren’t just a noise nuisance; they are the “dinner bell” for scorpions. If you have a cricket problem in your Phoenix backyard, a scorpion problem is usually right behind it.
• Fun Fact: Crickets have their ears on their front legs, just below the knees. They literally “listen” with their shins!
• Professional Treatment FAQs:
  1. Why do I need professional cricket control in Phoenix? Professionals treat the perimeter and “harborages” (hiding spots) that DIY sprays miss, cutting off the food supply for more dangerous pests.
  2. Can you silence the chirping immediately? While treatment starts working on contact, it may take 24–48 hours to fully silence the “orchestra” around your foundation.
  3. Are crickets destructive to Arizona homes? Yes. They are known to chew through silk, wool, and even wallpaper glue if they migrate inside to escape the heat.
