Signs Of A Cricket Infestation In Your Home
Nocturnal Chirping Indoors
House crickets (Acheta domesticus) chirp continuously at temperatures above 55°F, with activity peaking between July and October in Gloucester County. Persistent chirping inside the home after dark is one of the most common indicators of an active indoor population.
Live Sightings in Damp Areas
Camel crickets (Rhaphidophoridae) are the most common basement and crawl space species in South Jersey. Unlike house crickets, camel crickets do not chirp, and their presence in garages and crawl spaces often goes undetected until populations are well established.
Droppings Near Baseboards & Walls
Small, dark cylindrical droppings along baseboards, in corners, and behind appliances indicate active harborage within the living space. Droppings are most commonly found in kitchens, laundry rooms, and basements where cricket activity is highest.
What Attracts Crickets to Your Home?
Cricket infestations in Gloucester County are commonly linked to three major conducive conditions:
- Excess moisture. Unfinished crawl spaces, damp basements, and leaking pipes create the high-humidity harborage that camel crickets require year-round.
- Outdoor lighting. Bright porch and landscape lighting attracts field crickets and house crickets toward the structure from May through October.
- Structural entry points. Gaps in foundation sills, door sweeps, utility penetrations, and crawl space vents are common routes through which crickets enter structures as temperatures drop in late summer and fall.

Our Proven Cricket Control Process
01
Inspection & Species Identificatio
Full property inspection covering basement, crawl space, garage, and exterior perimeter. Species identification (house cricket, camel cricket, or field cricket) determines the treatment approach before any application.
02
Targeted Treatment
EPA-registered residual formulation applied to the foundation band, door frames, window frames, and utility penetrations. Crawl space and basement treatments address interior harborage directly. Glue board traps monitor population levels post-treatment.
03
Exclusion & Moisture Management
Entry points are sealed or flagged for repair. Moisture sources, including standing water, condensation, and inadequate crawl space ventilation, are documented and flagged for correction as part of the long-term prevention plan.
04
Monitoring & Follow-Up
Re-inspection at 14 and 30 days confirms population reduction. Quarterly perimeter service maintains residual protection through peak cricket season (May through October).

FAQs
What is the difference between house crickets and camel crickets in NJ?
House crickets (Acheta domesticus) chirp, are attracted to light, and are most active from July through October. Camel crickets (Rhaphidophoridae) do not chirp, prefer dark, damp environments like crawl spaces and basements, and are active year-round in South Jersey. House crickets respond to exterior perimeter treatments; camel crickets often require crawl space-focused treatment combined with moisture management.
How much does cricket control cost in Mantua, NJ?
Cost varies based on home size, infestation level, and whether treatment is one-time or recurring. Domination Extermination offers both single-visit and quarterly service plans. Call 856-633-0304 for an exact quote.
Why do crickets come inside in the fall?
House and field crickets migrate indoors as temperatures drop below 55°F, entering through foundation gaps, door sweeps, and utility penetrations. Fall migration in Gloucester County peaks between September and November. Perimeter treatments applied in late summer can help reduce indoor migration before crickets enter the structure.
Are crickets dangerous?
Crickets are not venomous and rarely bite. The primary risks are fabric damage (wool, cotton, silk) and secondary pest attraction: cricket populations attract spiders and rodents that feed on them. Large camel cricket populations in crawl spaces can also indicate an underlying moisture problem requiring remediation.
How long does cricket treatment take?
Most treatments take 60 to 90 minutes for a standard single-family home, covering perimeter application, crawl space treatment, and glue board placement. Severe infestations may take up to 2 hours.
Can DIY cricket sprays solve an infestation?
Over-the-counter sprays kill crickets on direct contact but generally lose effectiveness after drying. Professional treatments are designed to provide residual control for up to 60 to 90 days, depending on environmental conditions and infestation severity.
