Cricket Control in Orlando, FL

Warm nights are one of the best parts of living in Orlando, but they also bring crickets. Lanai lights, pool cage lights, and porch lights pull them in from the yard, and once they find a way inside, the chirping can go on all night. Brooks Pest Solutions offers eco-friendly crickets pest control throughout Orlando, with treatment for both the inside and outside of your home.

We serve Orlando, FL and the surrounding Central Florida area with cricket treatment plans built around your home’s lights, lawn, and garage.

Which Crickets We Treat in Orlando

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. You may also see mole crickets in Orlando lawns. They have wide front legs made for digging and live in the soil, not in the house. Mole crickets are a lawn problem, so they are handled differently from the crickets that come indoors. Tell your technician if you see them.

Why Crickets Are a Problem in Orlando

Orlando stays warm for most of the year, so crickets stay active much longer here than in colder places. They hide in mulch beds, thick ground cover, and under pavers during the day, then come out at night.

Outdoor lights are a big draw. Lanai, pool cage, and garage lights pull crickets right up to the house, where gaps under doors make it easy to slip inside.

Cricket Facts Every Orlando Homeowner Should Know

• Orlando’s warm weather gives crickets a long season. There is no hard freeze to slow them down.
• Mulch beds and pavers are common hiding spots. These stay cool and damp during the day.
• 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

Lanai and pool areas get the most activity. Lights and damp spots near the pool bring crickets close to the house.

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. 

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 gathering around lanai, pool cage, or garage lights at night
• Crickets hiding in mulch beds or under pavers near the house

If you notice any of these signs around your Orlando 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 Orlando property for cricket hot spots, including lanai and pool areas, garage, mulch beds, and doorways. 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 Orlando’s warm weather keeps crickets active most of the year, most clients stay on a monthly or bi-monthly plan. This lets our team come back often and catch new crickets early.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your cricket treatment okay for kids and pets? Yes. Our cricket treatment is eco-friendly and pet-friendly. We ask everyone to step outside for about an hour, or until the product is dry.

What kinds of crickets do you treat? We treat house crickets and field crickets, among others. These are the two that most often come into homes.

Why are there so many crickets around my lanai? Crickets are drawn to light. Lanai and pool cage lights pull them in at night, and nearby mulch and plants give them a place to hide during the day.

Are mole crickets the same as house crickets? No. Mole crickets live in the lawn soil and dig tunnels. House and field crickets are the ones that come indoors.

Why do crickets chirp? Only male crickets chirp. They rub their wings together to call a mate or guard their space.

Do you treat inside and outside? Yes. We treat both the inside and outside of the home with sprays and granules, and we place traps where crickets are most active.

Why monthly or bi-monthly service? Because Orlando’s warm weather keeps crickets active most of the year. Coming back every month or two lets us catch new crickets before they settle in.

How soon will I notice a difference? Most Orlando clients see and hear fewer crickets after the first visit or two. Regular service keeps it that way.
