Are you tired of crickets keeping you up at night? Cricket infestations can be a real headache for homeowners in Central Florida. We’re especially familiar with the mole cricket here. Their chirping might seem pleasant to some, but for others, it means there’s an infestation afoot.
These little insects can cause big problems: constant noise that disrupts sleep and peace and damage to fabrics, papers, and even wood. They also attract other pests that feed on crickets, like spiders and bats.

Trying to handle cricket control on your own? Here’s what you need to know: Over-the-counter sprays may kill some crickets but won’t solve the problem long-term, and homemade remedies like diatomaceous earth can help but require frequent reapplication.
So if you’re looking for eco-friendly options, there are some natural methods that can help deter crickets. Plant mint or garlic around your home’s perimeter, or use cedar oil or neem oil as a natural repellent.
