Which Crickets We Treat in Fort Worth

We treat the two crickets named on our service page: the house cricket and the field cricket. House crickets are light tan with three dark bands on the head. Field crickets are bigger and dark brown to black. Around Fort Worth, field crickets are the ones most people notice. Texas A&M has a helpful guide on why crickets swarm in the fall if you want to learn more.

Why Crickets Are a Problem in Fort Worth

Like the rest of North Texas, Fort Worth sees large field cricket swarms in late summer and fall. Bright lights at barns, arenas, and shops pull them in from the pasture.

Barns and feed rooms give crickets food and cover. Stored hay, feed sacks, and stacked gear all make good hiding spots, and crickets will chew on feed bags, paper, and fabric like saddle blankets.

Cricket Facts Every Fort Worth Homeowner Should Know

• Barn and arena lights draw crickets from the pasture. Bright lights at night pull them in.
• Hay, feed, and stored gear give crickets cover. They hide in and under these things.
• Only male crickets chirp. They rub their wings together to call a mate or guard their space. That is the sound that keeps people up at night.
• House crickets and field crickets look different. House crickets are light tan with dark bands on the head. Field crickets are darker and a little bigger.
• Crickets chew on things in the home. They can damage fabric, paper, and house plants.
• Crickets can lay eggs indoors. A few crickets that move in when it cools down can turn into many more by spring.

Why Getting Rid of Crickets Matters

Crickets chew on tack and feed bags. Saddle blankets, paper sacks, and stored fabric can all be damaged.

The noise does not stop on its own. One male cricket in a wall or closet can chirp all night, and it is hard to find.

Crickets damage household items. They chew on fabric, paper, and indoor plants.

Crickets bring other pests. Spiders and scorpions eat crickets, so more crickets can mean more of both. See our spider control and scorpion control pages.

A small problem can grow. Crickets can breed indoors, so a few in the fall can become a lot by spring.

Signs You Have a Cricket Problem

• Chirping at night, often from one spot you cannot find
• Live or dead crickets near doors, windows, or the garage
• Small holes or chewed spots on fabric, paper, or house plants
• Crickets around barn, arena, or shop lights at night
• Crickets in the feed room, hay storage, or tack room

If you notice any of these signs around your Fort Worth home, our team can take a look during a cricket inspection and treatment visit.

Our Eco-Friendly Cricket Control Process

Step 1: Full Inspection. We check your Fort Worth property for cricket hot spots, including doorways, the garage, barns, feed and tack rooms, and outdoor lights. We look for where crickets are hiding, breeding, and getting in.

Step 2: Eco-Friendly Treatment. We treat both the inside and outside of your home with sprays and granules, and we place traps in the spots where crickets are most active. We ask that the home be tidy before the visit, and that everyone step outside for about an hour or until the product is dry.

Step 3: Simple Tips for Your Home. We point out the things that draw crickets in, like bright lights, damp spots, and clutter near the house, and give you easy tips to cut down on them.

Step 4: Ongoing Monthly or Bi-Monthly Service. Because barns and outbuildings in Fort Worth can hold crickets all year, most clients stay on a monthly or bi-monthly plan. This lets our team come back often and catch new crickets early.
