Cricket Control in Alachua County
Crickets are a common household pest in Florida. In fact, they are the most common insect problem that we encounter here at Country Boy Pest Control. These pests are nocturnal so they are often heard but not seen. Crickets like to hang out in dark, secluded areas such as garages, storage sheds, and under decks. They are also very fond of attics and crawl spaces. If you hear cricket chirping in the middle of the night, you likely have an infestation on your hands.
Crickets are omnivorous, eating both plants and animals. They eat a wide variety of things including grains, pet food, and even other insects. While they may be beneficial in the wild, they are a nuisance to homeowners.
If you are experiencing a cricket infestation, call our team at (863) 356-1616 to schedule an inspection.
