Cricket Control NYC
House crickets and camel crickets (spider crickets) are common in NYC basements, garages, and crawl spaces. House crickets create disruptive chirping, while camel crickets are silent but alarming in appearance. Both are attracted to moisture and can damage fabrics and papers. Treatment targets crickets and their harborage areas.

Cricket Control — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions our licensed exterminators receive about cricket control in New York City, including costs, treatment timelines, preparation steps, and what results to expect.
How much does cricket control cost?
Cricket Control is billed at $249/hour flat — the same fully inclusive rate we charge for every pest service. The $249/hour covers all labor, EPA-registered products, treatment methods, entry-point sealing, written plan, and the free re-treatment visit if pests come back. There are no per-room fees, no chemical surcharges, no trip fees, and no contract. You pay only on completion of the work — nothing upfront, no deposit, no card on file. Billed in 15-minute increments after the first hour. It's the only fully inclusive hourly exterminator pricing model in NYC, and it almost always costs less than the inflated flat-rate quotes built around a worst-case version of your problem.
What are those big jumping bugs in my basement?
Those are likely camel crickets (also called spider crickets or cave crickets). They're light brown, humpbacked, and can jump several feet. They thrive in dark, moist basements and are one of NYC's most common basement pests.
Are crickets harmful?
Crickets can damage fabrics, papers, and stored items by chewing on them. House crickets chirp loudly and can be extremely disruptive. Camel crickets don't chirp but their jumping behavior startles most people.
Why do I have crickets in my basement?
Crickets are attracted to moisture, darkness, and organic debris. NYC basements with humidity issues, storage clutter, and cracks in the foundation are ideal cricket habitat. Reducing moisture is key to long-term control.
Do crickets attract other pests?
Yes. Crickets are a food source for spiders, centipedes, and mice. Reducing the cricket population can help reduce these secondary pest problems as well.
