Cricket Pest Control Services Perth

Many people consider crickets to be pests, and there are several reasons why. First, they can damage vegetation and crops due to their voracious appetite; this is especially true for species such as the field cricket, which feed on a variety of plants.

Second, some cricket species are known carriers of bacteria, viruses and parasites that can affect humans and other animals. For example, the cave cricket commonly carries salmonella which can lead to food poisoning if ingested by humans or animals.
Thirdly, crickets produce a high-pitched chirping noise at night which can be very irritating for people trying to sleep. In fact, some species of crickets produce noises in excess of 100 dB!

It's easy to see why many people classify crickets as pests; however, it's important not to forget that these organisms also play an important role in ecosystems and provide essential services like nutrient cycling between soil and plants!

To prevent these critters from entering your home:

1. Seal any cracks or crevices around windows/doors using weather stripping or caulk. This will help keep out adult crickets as well as eggs from hatching inside your home.
2. Keep doors closed when not in use - this includes outer doors that lead to basements, garages etc., which may be popular entry points for crickets if left open overnight or during other times when no one is at home.
3. Remove vegetation near windows/doors that may act as hiding places for those pesky critters; mow lawns regularly to prevent overgrowth of tall grasses which can also serve as their hideaways once they’ve entered into your property line!
4. Eliminate sources of moisture such as leaky pipes/accumulated water near walls & foundations by drying them up immediately - this can make an environment inhospitable for them so they stay away!

Crickets have likely invaded your home because they are searching for food, water, and shelter. Crickets are attracted to dark sheltered areas that provide easy access to sources of food, such as yards with open rubbish bins or debris piles. They may also be attracted to the moisture in basements or attics. If you have recently experienced a hot, humid spell outside your home then this could make conditions inside attractive for crickets too. Fear not, if you all of sudden find yourself dealing with an abundance of crickets, licensed pest controllers will be able to help.

While it might seem unlikely, the answer is yes — crickets can indeed damage your house. Crickets, especially field crickets and house crickets, are often attracted to the warmth of homes in winter and may find their way inside. If a cricket finds its way into an open or unsealed space in your home, they can cause serious destruction by eating fabric, rubber items such as insulation or even wallpaper paste. Additionally, if there’s increased humidity in your home due to poor ventilation or weather conditions during the summer months they could lay eggs on clothing and other linen items leading to further destruction once young crickets hatch out.

Crickets make noise for a variety of reasons. The most widely accepted explanation is that crickets use sound to communicate with each other. Male crickets in particular will produce chirps and clicks as part of their mating ritual, attempting to attract female crickets in the vicinity. Additionally, they may produce sound as a way of warning off potential predators or rivals. Crickets also use their song to declare territory and advertise potential food sources, calling attention to ripe fruits and nectar-rich vegetation that might otherwise be overlooked by scavenging animals or birds.

Aside from communication purposes, crickets are believed to make noise due to physical attributes like leg structure and even air temperature, which can cause their “wings” (tympanal organs) to vibrate at different speeds depending on environmental factors.
