Cricket Control services are designed to address recurring cricket activity inside homes and buildings throughout North Georgia, where moisture and shelter create ideal conditions. While crickets do not typically cause structural damage, their presence indoors is often persistent, noisy, and unwanted—especially in basements, crawl spaces, and unfinished areas.
Southern Pest Management provides Professional Cricket Control for homes and businesses in Dawsonville, Cumming, Johns Creek, and Alpharetta, focusing on identifying why crickets are present and preventing continued entry rather than simply removing visible insects.

Our Cricket Control Approach
Crickets are attracted to dark, damp, and humid environments, making basements, crawl spaces, garages, and foundation areas common problem locations. Camel crickets, in particular, are frequently found in crawl spaces and can migrate into basements when entry points are not properly sealed.
Our Cricket Control services follow Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles and may include:
- Identification of moisture issues and conducive conditions
- Locating exterior entry points and foundation gaps
- Habitat modification recommendations to reduce humidity
- Targeted exterior and interior treatments where appropriate
This approach allows us to control cricket activity effectively while minimizing unnecessary chemical use.

Monthly & Bi-Monthly Pest Control Services
Southern Pest Management offers monthly and bi-monthly pest control programs that provide consistent monitoring and seasonal adjustments. These service intervals are especially effective for moisture-driven pests like crickets, whose activity often fluctuates with weather conditions.
We do not rely on infrequent or extended-interval programs, which can allow cricket activity to return between visits. Our service plans focus on prevention, accuracy, and dependable control.
Why Professional Cricket Control Matters
While a true cricket infestation is rare, recurring cricket activity indoors usually indicates excess moisture, exterior population pressure, or accessible entry points. Treating only the insects found inside often results in temporary relief rather than resolution.
Professional Cricket Control addresses where crickets are coming from, why conditions allow them to survive, and how to prevent future entry.

TOP 15 MOST COMMON FAQ’s FOR CRICKET CONTROL
Why are crickets getting inside my home?
Crickets enter homes seeking moisture, warmth, and shelter. They commonly come in through gaps around doors, foundation cracks, garage openings, and vents, especially during hot, dry periods or sudden temperature changes.
What types of crickets are most common in North Georgia homes?
The most common crickets found in North Georgia include field crickets, house crickets, and camel crickets. Camel crickets are especially common in crawl spaces, basements, and garages.
Are crickets dangerous or harmful?
Crickets are not dangerous and do not bite or sting. However, they can become a nuisance due to noise, droppings, and damage to fabrics, paper, and stored items.
Why do crickets chirp so loudly at night?
Male crickets chirp to attract mates. Indoor chirping usually means a cricket has found a quiet, dark area inside the home, often near walls, basements, or garages.
Do crickets indicate a moisture problem?
Yes. Crickets are attracted to moisture and humid environments. Crawl space moisture, poor drainage, and damp basements can contribute to ongoing cricket activity.
Can crickets damage my home or belongings?
Crickets do not damage structures, but they can chew on fabrics, paper, cardboard, and stored clothing, especially in garages, basements, and closets.
Why are crickets more active during certain seasons?
Cricket activity increases in late summer and fall as outdoor conditions change. Crickets move indoors when temperatures drop or when outdoor moisture levels shift.
Can crickets enter through crawl spaces and garages?
Yes. Crawl spaces, garages, and unfinished basements are common entry points for crickets due to gaps, moisture, and limited disturbance.
Do store-bought sprays permanently eliminate crickets?
Most over-the-counter sprays provide short-term relief only. They may kill visible crickets but do not address entry points, moisture conditions, or outdoor populations.
What attracts crickets to a home?
Crickets are attracted to moisture, exterior lighting, organic debris, mulch, cluttered storage areas, and easy access points around the foundation.
Are camel crickets harder to control than regular crickets?
Yes. Camel crickets thrive in damp, dark areas and often hide in crawl spaces and basements, making them harder to eliminate without professional treatment.
How do professionals control cricket infestations?
Professional cricket control focuses on reducing moisture, treating crawl spaces and perimeter areas, sealing entry points, and targeting both indoor and outdoor populations.
Why do I keep finding crickets even after killing a few?
Killing visible crickets does not stop new ones from entering. Without addressing the source, environmental conditions, and access points, cricket activity will continue.
Can crickets come through drains or plumbing gaps?
Yes. Crickets can enter through floor drains, utility penetrations, and plumbing gaps, especially in basements and crawl spaces.
How can I prevent crickets from returning?
Prevention includes moisture control, sealing cracks and gaps, reducing exterior lighting near doors, removing debris near the foundation, and maintaining routine pest control.
