Cricket Control in Baltimore, MD

In addition to being a noisy nuisance, crickets can also cause damage to your personal belongings and property. For this reason, you’ll want to be proactive in removing them from your home and preventing them from coming back.

Some Quick Facts About Crickets

  • Crickets have black or brown bodies measuring ½ to 1 ¼ inches long
  • They have six legs (crickets are insects) and long, thin antennae
  • Male crickets chirp to attract female crickets
  • Baby crickets hatch around 15 to 25 days after mating
  • Their diets consist of seeds, grass, and other insects both alive and dead

How Do I Know If I Have Crickets?

While it’s only the male crickets that do all the chirping, this sound is still the most common way to identify a cricket infestation. If you’re noticing very small bite marks (no larger than 1 mm in size) around carpeted areas in your home, this may be another sign of a cricket infestation. Crickets are also known to chew on flowers, leaves, linens, and clothing, and may leave small droppings in and around your home. 

Is There A Difference Between Field Crickets and House Crickets?

Field crickets and house crickets are both common in the Baltimore, MD area, but there are some differences between the two:

Field crickets, as can be deduced from their name, tend to stay outdoors in fields and grassy areas. However, if field crickets do make their way inside, they are known to chew their way through fabrics.

House crickets can also be found outside in grassy areas but are usually found inside homes and commercial buildings where they seek shelter and food. House crickets also tend to be a bit smaller in size and have more of a lighter brown coloring to their bodies.

When Are Crickets Most Active?

Crickets are nocturnal insects that do most of their eating, mating, and chirping at nighttime. In the Baltimore area, crickets are most active during the warmer spring and summer months and into early fall. Once temperatures begin to drop, more and more crickets will seek shelter from the cold inside homes, sheds, and other structures.

Should I Be Concerned For My Health If I Have Crickets?

While it is possible for crickets to carry diseases, it is quite rare for them to bite humans and they are not known to carry any diseases that are fatal to humans.

How Do I Get Rid of Crickets?

The quickest way to effectively rid your home of crickets is to call a professional pest control company. At Miche Pest Control, our highly trained technicians can quickly and safely rid your home of crickets with a treatment plan designed specifically for your needs. Once we’ve gotten the crickets under control during your initial treatment, we recommend continuous quarterly treatment of the exterior of your home to prevent any crickets from returning.

What Else Can I Do To Prevent Crickets in my Home?

You can prevent cricket infestations by:

  • Regularly cleaning your home and yard
  • Removing any potential cricket hiding spots, like piles of wood and mulch
  • Removing dead plants from around your yard
  • Sealing potential entry points around windows and doors, especially ones with screens
  • Using a dehumidifier to remove moisture from your home in places like the basement
  • Use yellow lights in your home instead of white lights, where possible

Baltimore, MD

Baltimore is the most populous city in Maryland, as well as the 30th most populous city in the United States. Baltimore is the largest independent city in the country and was designated as such by the Constitution of Maryland in 1851. Baltimore is located about 40 miles northeast of Washington DC, making it a principal city in the Washington–Baltimore combined statistical area.

British colonists established the Port of Baltimore in 1706 to support the tobacco trade, and established the Town of Baltimore in 1729. The Battle of Baltimore was a pivotal engagement during the War of 1812, culminating in the bombardment of Fort McHenry, during which Francis Scott Key wrote a poem that would become "The Star-Spangled Banner", which was eventually designated as the American national anthem in 1931. During the Pratt Street Riot of 1861, the city was the site of some of the earliest violence associated with the American Civil War.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the oldest railroad in the United States, was built in 1830 and cemented Baltimore's status as a major transportation hub, giving producers in the Midwest and Appalachia access to the city's port. Baltimore's Inner Harbor was once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States. In addition, Baltimore was a major manufacturing center. After a decline in major manufacturing, heavy industry, and restructuring of the rail industry, Baltimore has shifted to a service-oriented economy. Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins University are the city's top two employers. Baltimore and its surrounding region are home to the headquarters of a number of major organizations and government agencies, including the NAACP, ABET, the National Federation of the Blind, Catholic Relief Services, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the Social Security Administration.

With hundreds of identified districts, Baltimore has been dubbed a "city of neighborhoods". Many of Baltimore's neighborhoods have rich histories: the city is home to some of the earliest National Register Historic Districts in the nation, including Fell's Point, Federal Hill, and Mount Vernon. These were added to the National Register between 1969 and 1971, soon after historic preservation legislation was passed. Baltimore has more public statues and monuments per capita than any other city in the country. Nearly one third of the city's buildings (over 65,000) are designated as historic in the National Register, which is more than any other US city.
