Cricket Control in Lubbock, TX

On the South Plains, you can see a lit parking lot from a long way off, and so can the crickets. In late summer and fall, field crickets fly to the brightest lights in Lubbock, and many end up at homes on the way. Brooks Pest Solutions offers eco-friendly crickets pest control throughout Lubbock, with treatment for both the inside and outside of your home.

We serve Lubbock, TX and the surrounding South Plains with cricket treatment plans built around your home’s lights, doorways, and watered lawn.

Which Crickets We Treat in Lubbock

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 Lubbock, 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 Lubbock

Lubbock is dry, so crickets gather where the water is. Watered lawns, flower beds, and the damp ground along cotton fields give them what they need.

With so much open, flat land, bright lights stand out for miles. Stores, gas stations, and ball fields pull in huge numbers of field crickets, and porch and garage lights do the same thing on a smaller scale at home.

Cricket Facts Every Lubbock Homeowner Should Know

• Watered lawns draw crickets in dry weather. They go where the moisture is.
• Bright lights stand out on the flat South Plains. Crickets fly to them from far away.
• 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

Homes near fields can see more crickets. Crickets move from farmland to watered yards and lit porches.

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
• Field crickets piling up under outdoor lights in late summer or fall
• Crickets hiding in watered flower beds or along the lawn edge

If you notice any of these signs around your Lubbock 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 Lubbock property for cricket hot spots, including doorways, the garage, outdoor lights, flower beds, and the lawn edge. 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 crickets in Lubbock gather around watered yards and lights each year, most clients stay on a monthly or bi-monthly plan. This lets our team come back often and catch new crickets early.
