Services · Cricket Control
Quiet the crickets outside your bedroom window.
Exterior barrier treatment for Phoenix Valley homes, built around the monsoon-season surge that puts them against your foundation.
What cricket control covers
Cricket control is exterior work. Crickets live outside and come in through the gaps at ground level, so the treatment is a barrier around the foundation, the entry points, and the yard, refreshed every other month. It matters for more than the noise: crickets are what scorpions eat, so a yard full of them is a yard that feeds a bigger problem.
How our cricket treatment works
All of it is outside work, and the last step is the one that carries the monsoon.
-
Find the harborage.
Block walls, irrigation boxes, yard debris, and the damp shaded ground crickets gather in.
-
Build the barrier.
Liquid treatment around the foundation and entry points, plus granules across the yard where they travel.
-
Clear the cover.
Dewebbing and knocking back harborage takes away the places they shelter against the house.
-
Hold it every other month.
Monsoon season brings wave after wave, so the barrier has to be refreshed rather than applied once.
Why a pro beats a can of spray
A perimeter you spray yourself breaks down in the Arizona sun within days, and it only covers the strip you could reach. Crickets keep arriving from the yard, the wall, and the greenbelt behind it.
-
A full perimeter, not the reachable parts of one.
-
Granules across the yard they cross to get there.
-
Refreshed every other month, through the whole surge.

Good to know
Questions? We've got answers.
Straight answers to what Valley homeowners ask us most. Still not sure about something? We're happy to talk it through.
Why are there so many crickets in Arizona?
Cricket numbers climb with the monsoon, when the storms bring the moisture and cover they need and the desert around Valley neighborhoods turns into good habitat. They move toward houses for shade and water, which is why they end up against foundations, in garages, and under exterior lights.
Do crickets attract scorpions?
Crickets are a primary food source for scorpions, so a yard with a heavy cricket population is feeding anything that hunts them. Knocking the crickets down is part of why a maintained barrier lowers scorpion pressure too, and it is one of the reasons our standard visit treats the yard rather than only the house.
How do I keep crickets out of my garage?
Keep the garage door seal in good shape, clear debris and stored material away from the walls, and cut back the exterior lighting that draws them in after dark. On the treatment side, the barrier around the foundation and the granules in the yard are what stop them reaching the door in the first place, and sticky traps inside catch what gets past.
How much does cricket control cost?
Cricket service runs on the standard Nice plan: a $75 initial service, then visits every other month at $49 a month with no contract. We send a no-obligation estimate by text before we start, so you see the number first.
