So let’s first take an overview of what these crickets really are and how they look like. So that you know what you are doing and on which.


What Are The House Crickets & How They look Like

Finding and understanding these crickets and how they look is really difficult work to do.

But this is the important part because this will help you to understand how you can get rid of crickets naturally.

Normally there are 3 species of crickets taking up residence in your house. Those are called Acheta Domesticus.

Most likely if you are living near the Rocky Mountains you will find them. Because they like to live in the hot and summer areas where the sun is dancing like fury.

After reading the report I found the male crickets are louder than females.

Do you know why these males are chirping so loud? So when they want to mate with female cricket they start chirping louder to attract and repel other male crickets.

The founder of their chirping is the chances will increase of mating with female cricket.

If these guests hardly enter your house. Then you need solid preparation and try to find them underneath the carpet, in wool cotton, synthesis, silk, and other materials as well.

The faster you find them the faster you can get rid of them. So how can you do that?

Simple!. Just follow the below strategy and amazing ways. And check which way is best for you.


How To Get Rid Of Crickets

Making your house healthy and peaceful needs the major cure for all of them. That’s why you need to boot all the crickets before they settle in your house.

But how can you do that? As simple as you just need to find the best way to get rid of them.

#1 : Build A Trap

When you find from where this chirping noise is coming. Then you can easily make a trap to catch all of the crickets into it.

All you need just place the sticky cricket attractant and that’s all. But how you can attract them? Tricky question!.

Normally all the crickets are omnivorous but they are most likely to eat rotting plants and cardboard.

So just get some of them and set them near the cricket attractant. But if you don’t find this sticky trap then what you will do.

Don’t worry if you don’t find this thing then you can also make your own trap to catch them. Just fill the bowl half with molasses and the other half with water.

Then set the bowl where you are facing this chirping noise problem. Crickets love molasses so when they come to eat molasses.

They all will trap in the water.


#2 :Clear Your Yard

Where is the chirping noise coming from in your house or the yard? In most cases, people found that these noises are coming from their yard.

Because your yard is the major living source of these crickets why they stay at your home.

That’s why the first thing you need to do is clear your yard.

How can you do that? First, take your lawnmower and keep the grass very small so that the major food source gets finished.

Then dry out all the damp areas and standing water in your yard. Make sure you need to make your yard as dry as possible.

Every possible resource for staying in your house is destroyed.

The last thing is the light bulb. Do you know crickets are most likely to attract light bulbs?

But if the light is yellow and sodium vapor. Then this problem will also finish. Because crickets are not big fans of these colors.


#3 :Use Vacuum Cleaner

Do you want to control the population of these crickets in your house? Suppose if you waste your complete one day capturing these crickets and get rid of them.

But the next day you find 2x or 3x the population of them. Then what’s the reason behind it?

After the research, I found that these crickets like to spawn their eggs inside the house.

Because they feel secure inside the shelter and your house is now their shelter. That’s why you need to get out of your house.

Otherwise, it could become the cause of infestation that will not be under control.

So you need to use a vacuum cleaner because it has high-efficiency particulates.

That will easily pull the eggs in the sealed plastic bags. Then you can throw them away where no one is living.

In this way, you can save your house from the attack of these crickets.

But where will you find them? Don’t worry you will easily find these eggs inside underneath your carpet or some other places.


#4 :Use Essential Oil

Are you a nature-friendly person? That’s why you don’t want to hurt these crickets.

Are you finding the best way where these crickets will not be going to hurt anymore and also you will get rid of them?

Yes, there are some ways but using essential oil is the best one. As you know some insects like crickets don’t like any essential oils combination.

So first you need to identify all the main places where the chirping noise is coming.

Then you need to spread the essential oil liberally on the surface and that’s all. They will never come back again.

But hold on to you which essential oil combination you can use for this. Commonly thyme, sage, and rosemary essential oils work very well.

Or if you don’t have these oils then you can also use some hateful smells for getting out of crickets.

These smells are easily available in your kitchen because they are part of your food.

Amazing!, I know peppermint, lemon and cinnamon are the hateful smells for crickets. So you can use any of them.


#5 :Kill Them

I know killing all the crickets that are living without your permission is not the right thing.

But what will you do if you don’t have any other way to solve this problem?

Suppose if you are working from your home and you have a deadline where these crickets are distracting your focus.

That’s why you need to do that. But what are those ways? Let’s understand some of them.

  • Vinegar and Salt: This mixture is lethal for all the insects and crickets as well. So if you want to make this mixture. Then first you need to mix vinegar with water roughly around 110ml per liter. Then you need to put salt into the mixture around 1 tablespoon per liter. At the last fill the mixture in the spray. That’s all.
  • Bug Spray: If you can’t make this mixture then there is another way. You can use a specially made cricket kill bug spray. That you can easily find any stationary shop. Then evenly spray all the places where you have seen them hiding. This will easily kill all of them if they contact the surface.

Keep in mind that most of the bug spray and the mixture work as toxic. That may be dangerous for you.

That’s why after killing all the crickets and bugs you need to clean the surface carefully.


#6 :Natural Predator

Do you have any pets in your house? Do you know if you have some type of friendly animal then you will never face this problem again?

This is totally right if you have some creatures in your house. Then they will eat all the crickets in your house or the garden.

All you need is to just leave them alone in your open yard.

Make sure not to leave any predators in your house otherwise they will damage your important stuff.

The perfect thing is you can use molasses to attract all the crickets out of your house.

When they go to the yard then you can leave your predators to eat them. But wait! Do you know what those predators are? No, let’s understand.

1. Cat

2. Lizard

3. Frog

4. Bird

I know you have one. Because these are very friendly and most of us like to groom one of these pets. Let them free and they will make your house crickets free.
