PESKY FIELD 'HANDS'
DON’ T BE BARRAGED BY FIELD CRICKETS THIS YEAR!
The melody of crickets gently serenading across a rural area on a warm summer evening evokes idyllic scenes. But it may also evoke problems.
Field crickets tend to stick outdoors, but when they accidentally invade your home or business, the results can be disastrous. The unwanted pests can cause damage to fabrics, such as curtains, wall coverings, and clothing, due to staining from vomit, feeding activities, or excrement. Field crickets have also been known to feed on soiled clothing as well. Our eco-friendly pest removal programs are safe for humans and pets. We create very little disturbance around your home or business so you can go on with your daily routine as planned. Our programs are designed to eliminate pests from both inside and around the perimeter of your home or business. Keep in mind that a single female field cricket can lay as many as 400 eggs in a single season! Leaving your property untreated is like inviting a second generation of a larger swarm of pests to come back and do more damage. The best way to get rid of the crickets around your business or home is to eliminate the current ones with a combination of insecticides and by lowering nightly outdoor light usage. Our experts have the knowledge and experience to help you achieve this and restore your peace of mind — just give us a call.
Have you noticed:
• Swarms of black crickets around your home? • Crickets covering the outside walls of your business? • Louder than usual evening cricket symphonies? • Piles of dead crickets or the odor associated with their corpses? If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, then it’s possible your home or business has been invaded by crickets. Call our office now at (214) 334-1466 to schedule an appointment for our experts to come out and protect your home or business from the damage caused by these pests. There are two primary types of crickets — house crickets and field crickets. House crickets are the small brown variety that pet stores sell as reptile food. Field crickets are the larger black ones that swarm across Northern Texas to reproduce.
