Introduction: No one likes having pests in their home. They're unsightly, they can carry disease, and they can be a general nuisance. If you've ever had the unpleasant experience of finding a cricket in your house, then you know just how unwelcome these little critters can be. But don't despair! Getting rid of crickets is relatively easy with a little knowledge and elbow grease. Read on for our ultimate guide to getting rid of those pesky houseguests for good.

How Do I Know If I Have A Cricket Problem?

The first step in getting rid of crickets is to determine whether or not you have a cricket problem. Crickets are nocturnal creatures, so you're unlikely to see them during the day. If you hear chirping at night, that's a good indication that you have crickets in your home. You may also find them near doors and windows or in damp areas like basements and laundry rooms. If you see any dead crickets, that's another sign that you have an infestation. Lastly, look for small holes in clothing or fabrics—crickets like to eat natural fibers like cotton and wool.
