Cricket Control in Boerne

Protecting Your Fabrics and Carpets from Damage

Living in Boerne, we all know the signs of cricket season. It starts with a single chirp and can quickly escalate into a swarm that covers patios, invades garages, and keeps the entire household awake at night. Beyond the sleepless nights, these pests can chew through your favorite linens and attract unwanted predators like scorpions and spiders into your living space. If you are noticing fraying fabrics or relentless noise, it is time to take action before the infestation spreads.

With over 20 years of experience in the pest control industry, our family-owned team uses the most updated techniques to handle these seasonal surges effectively. We treat every home with the same care we would give our own neighbors, using pet and family-friendly methods to restore your peace of mind. We are here to help you take back your home from the noise and the nuisance.

Signs You Need Professional Cricket Control

While one or two crickets might seem harmless, they are often the scouts for a much larger population hidden just out of sight. In our area, crickets are not just a nuisance; they are destructive pests that can cause tangible damage to your property. Recognizing the early warning signs of an infestation is the key to preventing a small issue from becoming an overwhelming problem.

Here are the most common indicators that it is time to call in a professional:

  • Relentless Chirping: The most obvious sign is the noise. If the sound is loud enough to interrupt sleep or seems to be coming from inside walls or vents, the population is likely significant.
  • Fabric Damage: Crickets are omnivores that are attracted to natural fibers. Unexplained holes in wool, silk, cotton, or upholstered furniture often indicate that they are feeding on your belongings.
  • Unpleasant Odors: When crickets die in large numbers, they emit a pungent, ammonia-like smell that can permeate a room or garage.
  • Presence of Other Pests: Crickets are a primary food source for scorpions and spiders. A sudden increase in these predatory pests often points to an underlying cricket infestation.

Our Approach to Cricket Control in Boerne

At Covenant Pest Control, we believe that effective pest control requires more than just spraying chemicals; it requires a strategy tailored to your specific home and property. We know that crickets in Boerne are driven by weather patterns—seeking moisture during droughts and warmth during cold snaps. We use this knowledge to target them exactly where they hide and breed, ensuring long-term relief for your family.

Our process is designed to be thorough and safe:

  • Detailed Inspection: We start by identifying entry points and nesting areas, such as mulch beds, woodpiles, and cracks in the foundation.
  • Targeted Treatment: We apply eco-friendly and botanical options around the perimeter to create a barrier that stops crickets from entering your home.
  • Interior Exclusion: If crickets have already moved inside, we treat key hiding spots like attics, basements, and utility rooms using family-friendly products.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Because cricket populations can surge quickly, we provide guidance and follow-up options to ensure your home stays quiet and pest-free.

Tips for Preventing Cricket Invasions

While professional treatment is the most effective way to handle an infestation, there are several steps you can take to make your home less attractive to crickets. These prevention tips work hand-in-hand with our treatments to keep your property peaceful.

  • Switch Your Lighting: Crickets are drawn to bright white outdoor lights. Switching to yellow "bug lights" or sodium vapor lamps can significantly reduce the number of crickets gathering near your doors and windows.
  • Seal Entry Points: Check the weather stripping on doors and caulk any cracks around windows and the foundation. Even a small gap is an open invitation for a cricket seeking warmth.
  • Manage Moisture: Crickets thrive in damp environments. Ensure your gutters are clean and direct water away from the foundation, and fix any leaky outdoor faucets.
  • Maintain Landscaping: Keep grass trimmed and move woodpiles or debris away from the side of your house. These areas provide shelter for crickets during the day, making it easier for them to slip inside at night.

  • What do cockroaches eat?

    Cockroaches feed on both plants and animals. They will feast on almost anything but especially like sugary foods, grease and fat, starches, and meat products.

    They will even eat glue, book bindings, and human hair.

    Cockroaches are attracted to decaying plants, rotting trash, compost piles, dog droppings, and cat litter. These unwanted pests are known as the sanitation workers of the animal kingdom. The worse something smells, the more attracted the cockroaches are.

    Keeping your home and yard clear of debris and utilizing pest control will help eliminate these pesky critters.

  • Lifecycle of a Cockroach

    Cockroaches go through 3 stages of life: egg, nymph, and adult. Females produce one egg sac each month for ten months. Each sac contains on average 16 eggs. The female cockroach will carry an egg case for several days and will then place it in a safe, damp place.

    On average cockroaches live 6 to 15 months depending on the species, moisture, and temperature.

  • Am I legally obligated to do a new construction treatment?
    Yes. Here in Texas, it is legally mandated for all new wood constructions to incorporate termite preventive measures. This is not just the case in Texas but in the majority of the country. At least 34 states require some kind of termite treatment for all new wood constructions, and most of these states are in the southern half of the country, where most termite problems occur.
