Cricket Control

Crickets are outdoor insects that are drawn to lights during summer nights and can gather around homes in large numbers.

Recognizing crickets around your home

Crickets are drawn to bright exterior lights at night during warm summer months. In certain years, cricket populations grow significantly throughout the Las Vegas valley.

These insects are covered under our Quarterly Home Pest Plan, which uses exterior perimeter applications and targeted interior treatments to manage active populations around your property.

Where crickets gather and enter

Near exterior lighting
Nighttime exterior lights pull crickets toward porch fixtures, stucco walls, garage doors and glass patio entries.
Exterior lighting sources
Bright exterior lighting draws crickets toward building perimeters during warm summer evenings across the valley.
High population seasons
During certain years, cricket numbers increase significantly and large populations cluster around residential properties.

How Whiptail treats crickets

Whiptail treats cricket activity by applying exterior perimeter treatment around foundation walls, door frames, window sills, and weep screens. Granular products are applied in landscape beds, while interior crack-and-crevice treatments target active spots. Crickets are covered by our Quarterly Home Pest Plan.

Cricket questions answered

Why are crickets gathering near my house?

Crickets are drawn to bright exterior lighting at night during summer months. In certain years, cricket populations expand rapidly across the Las Vegas valley, leading to visible clusters around home perimeters and entryways.

Are crickets included in general pest plans?

Yes. Crickets are covered under our Quarterly Home Pest Plan, which includes initial interior and exterior treatment, routine exterior applications every three months, and re-treatment between scheduled visits if covered pests return.

How does a technician treat a cricket problem?

A technician inspects the yard and foundation perimeter, applies liquid treatment to entry points, spreads granules in gravel or plant beds, and performs targeted interior treatment where insects enter.

Dana did a blacklight inspection at night and found bark scorpions in our block wall. She treated the yard and installed weep screen guards. Now our Scorpion Plan includes visits every two months.

We needed a formal Wood Destroying Insect report to sell our house. Marco came out and inspected the slab and garage thoroughly. He sent the written report to our agent the next business day.

We heard scratching in the attic. Luis found where roof rats were getting in, sealed the entry points with steel mesh, and set traps. He came back to check the traps just like he promised.

We use the quarterly plan for ants and spiders. When we saw a few ants return near the kitchen in summer, they came back out and treated the area again at no charge.

Kim gave us a written checklist to prepare our bedrooms for bed bug treatment. She treated the furniture and baseboards, then returned about two weeks later to check for activity.

Whiptail handles the pest control for our restaurant. They schedule our service twice a month before we open. We get a written report after every visit and keep a logbook on site for audits.
