Crickets can sneak in quietly until they start chirping through the walls or jumping across the garage floor. Whether they’ve wandered in from the yard or found a damp corner to hide, they can be tough to kick out without the right approach.
That’s where we come in.

If you’re losing sleep to chirping or spotting crickets in your home, call (817) 767-3054.
Our Fort Worth Cricket Control Process
We know crickets can be tricky to get rid of, especially when they’re hiding in hard-to-reach places or coming back again and again. That’s why our residential cricket control treatments are simple, effective, and stress-free. Here’s how our cricket control service works from start to finish:
Step 1: Schedule by Phone
Call us and tell us what’s going on. No inspection or prep is required. We promise to get you on the schedule within 24-48 hours!
Step 2: Full Treatment
Your technician will treat the base of your home with child- and pet-friendly products, sweep down spider webs, and apply granules in the yard to target crickets before they sneak inside.
Step 3: Ongoing Prevention
Cricket control is part of our General Pest Control Plan, which includes quarterly visits to keep crickets and other common pests like spiders, ants, roaches, and rodents out all year. If pests return between visits, we’ll come back and re-treat at no charge.
How to Tell if You Need a Cricket Exterminator (Why DIY Isn’t Enough)
Crickets don’t always make themselves known right away, but they do leave signs. If you’ve noticed any of the following, you may have a growing infestation:
- Persistent chirping at night, especially near baseboards, vents, or behind walls
- Jumping insects spotted in quiet places like the garage, basement, or laundry room
- Chewed fabric, paper, cardboard, or even furniture
- Tiny black droppings along floor edges or in corners
- More than one cricket seen indoors (especially during the day)
If that sounds familiar, you’re probably dealing with more than a stray insect. While store-bought sprays might take care of the ones you see, they rarely get to the root of the problem. Crickets often lay eggs in wall voids, crawl spaces, or other hidden areas, so they’ll return even after spraying.
Our General Pest Control plan solves that. We don’t just treat the surface. We target where crickets live and breed. It’s a smarter, long-term solution that saves you money (and stress) over time.
What Kind of Crickets Are Hiding in Your Fort Worth Home?
Not all crickets are the same, and the ones you’ll find in Fort Worth each bring their own set of issues once they sneak indoors.
- House crickets are small and light brown. They’re usually the ones you hear chirping nonstop at night. They love warmth, so they settle near heaters, baseboards, or appliances once they’re inside. Beyond the noise, they’re known to chew on fabric, paper, and wallpaper.
- Field crickets are larger and darker in color. These crickets usually live outside but will make their way in when it’s hot, dry, or raining. They’re drawn to light and often appear in garages, sheds, or entryways. They can be destructive too, chewing through cardboard, clothes, and even rubber items.
- Camel crickets, also called spider crickets, don’t chirp, but they’re no less of a problem. These humpbacked jumpers prefer cool, damp areas like crawl spaces and basements. They often appear in groups and jump without warning, making them especially unsettling.
Crickets can quickly go from harmless to annoying, whether it’s the noise, the chewing, or just knowing they’re hiding nearby. At Alta, we proudly offer cricket control services across Fort Worth. We know how to handle unwanted pests. We’ll send a cricket exterminator to your home within 48 hours – guaranteed.

FAQs
What makes crickets want to come inside?
Extreme weather, like intense heat or sudden rain, can drive crickets indoors. They’re looking for cooler, more humid places to hide and breed.
Are camel crickets dangerous?
They’re not harmful to people or pets, but their sudden jumping and tendency to gather in groups can be pretty unsettling. They can also still cause property damage if left unchecked.
Why are crickets so active at night?
Crickets are nocturnal, which means they rest during the day and come alive after dark. That’s why the chirping usually starts right when you’re trying to fall asleep.
