While there are many different species of crickets in Oklahoma, we are going to talk about just one of them, the field cricket, and even they have five species here in Oklahoma. Some people find the noise they make annoying, and others find it relaxing, but no one likes the damage they can cause. OSU says these little rascals can damage fabrics, wood, plastic, rubber, and leather just to mention a few of their chew toys. Crickets are attracted to the lights, which can cause many of them to infest your yard.

Crickets Description

Field Crickets can vary in color from brown to black and are around one inch long with developed wings and large hind legs for jumping.

Cricket Control

Crickets prefer the dark, so they will spend much of their time during the day hiding in wood piles, tall weeds, brush, bricks, or any area that can provide a dark and moist shelter till night. So cleaning up or organizing such places is always a good practice. Here at Healthy Homes Exterminating, we can eliminate these insects for you quickly. Call Us Today!
