Crickets

CRICKETS

Apex Pest and Lawn is your Professional Cricket Exterminators along the Wasatch Front.

Crickets can be found in Utah with a few different types. These leaping insects are known for the musical chirping of the male. Crickets vary in length from 3 to 50 mm (0.12 to 2 inches). They have thin antennae, hind legs modified for jumping, three-jointed tarsal (foot) segments, and two slender abdominal sensory appendages (called cerci). The two forewings are stiff and leathery, and the two long, membranous hind wings are used in flying.

Male crickets produce musical chirping sounds by rubbing a scraper located on one forewing. Crickets chirp at different rates depending on their species and the temperature of their environment. Most species chirp at higher rates the higher the temperature is (approximately 62 chirps a minute at 13°C in one common species; each species has its own rate).

Crickets can cause considerable damage to lawns and plants and Apex Pest and Lawn has a system to control them.

CRICKET CONTROL

Insecticide sprays or bait applications to damp areas of the basement and ground level floors are recommended for field crickets. Other areas may have to be treated for house crickets or seasonal swarms of field crickets, which may be found almost anywhere in a structure. Application outdoors to foundations, window wells, around doors and windows, crawl spaces, under garbage cans, flower beds, and weep holes in brick facings are necessary. If heavy infestations are encountered, a 5-to 20-foot band around the structure should also be treated with either a residual spray or bait. Another effective technique we use at Apex Pest and Lawn indoors is to trap crickets with the Eco-Sticky Bug Traps. Place Eco-Sticky Bug Traps under and behind furniture or near doorways along walls to capture crickets. Replace them when full.

The Only Thing Left Buzzing is Praise Customer Reviews

    "Quality and expertise. Awesome service!"

    Anthony was outstanding- really responsive and willing to come out on a Saturday to start taking on some pest control. Just a week later, and there are no more bug problems. It speaks to their quality and expertise. Anthony also took extra time to give my wife and me (new homeowners) some lawn care pointers. Just awesome service!

    "Timely and professional. Highly recommend!"
    Anthony was excellent! I called last minute looking for help with the elm seed bugs going on this year. He picked right up after hours and was out as quickly as his schedule allowed. Timely and professional. Highly recommend!

    "Anthony was amazing! He was professional and understanding."
    Anthony was amazing! He was able to have my house serviced in just a few hours. I had a flying ant infestation and he could tell the concern in my voice. When he was here, he was professional and understanding. We will definitely hire him in the future for anything else that comes up!

    "He is very dependable and easy to work with. He offers quarterly service so we are covered year-round."

    Anthony has been serving our home for several years. He is very dependable and easy to work with. He offers quarterly service so we are covered year-round. The best thing about the service is there are no spiders or ants and it is safe to use around my dogs and cats. I would definitely recommend Apex Pest and Lawn if you are looking for someone who is reliable and still gives you that local, small-business feel.

He is dependable and very price-competitive. He is always thorough and stands behind his work to make sure the customer is taken care of. I will continue to use his service for as long as needed.

    "I would highly recommend Apex and look forward to future visits from them! Thanks guys!"

    Anthony was so professional on the phone, answering all of my questions and was very informative with things I didn’t even think about! Cory was very courteous and professional while treating my backyard for wasps and inside for normal pests. My favorite part was the fact that I called the evening before and they were at my house to spray the next morning (even early to our scheduled time)! I would highly recommend Apex and look forward to future visits from them! Thanks guys!

    "Anthony and his team are great and always very kind."

    APEX started treating my home almost 7 years ago and I’ve been satisfied every single time my home is treated. I am deathly afraid of spiders and when my home is sprayed, I never see any! Anthony and his team are great and always very kind. I recommend APEX to anyone who wants fast results in getting rid of pests!
