Cave Cricket Control
Why Are There Cave Crickets in My House?
Cave crickets often enter homes when outdoor conditions become extreme—either too dry or after heavy rains. These moisture-loving pests are drawn to damp, dark indoor spaces like:
- Basements
- Crawl spaces
- Laundry rooms
- Sump pump areas
- Underneath porches or decks
Once inside, they don’t typically reproduce indoors, but their presence can be alarming. If you've noticed their sudden appearance, chances are your home has the kind of environment they're actively seeking—and it’s time to act fast with cave cricket control.
What Makes Cave Crickets a Problem?
While cave crickets are technically harmless to humans—they don't bite or sting—the problems they cause are far from minor.
- Their sudden leaps and large size are unsettling.
- They feed on fabric, cardboard, wood, and even other dead insects.
- An infestation can quickly grow, especially in ideal humid environments.
- DIY solutions often fail, allowing them to return again and again.
Our cave cricket exterminators use proven, professional-grade treatments to remove the pests and address the conditions that invite them in—stopping the cycle at the source.

Do Cave Crickets Go Away on Their Own?
Rarely. Because they’re drawn to moisture and darkness, cave crickets tend to stick around once they find a suitable indoor environment. Even if they don’t breed inside, they can survive for long periods—especially in cluttered or humid spaces.
Without professional cave cricket control, these pests often return with the next weather shift, creating a frustrating cycle for homeowners. Our service breaks that cycle for good.

Are Cave Crickets Harmless?
While cave crickets are harmless to people—they don’t bite or sting—they are far from welcome guests. Their erratic jumping, large size, and tendency to damage fabrics, wood, and paper products make them a serious nuisance.
Even if they don’t pose a direct health threat, their presence indicates that your home may have moisture or structural vulnerabilities that need attention. Our cave cricket exterminators not only remove the pests but help you address the underlying causes.
