Cricket control in Arizona
Crickets matter in Arizona for a reason beyond the noise: they are a primary food source for bark scorpions. Reducing the cricket population around a home directly reduces what draws scorpions to it.

As your trusted cricket exterminator experts, we’re dedicated to swiftly addressing your cricket concerns and restoring harmony to your home. Using environmentally friendly methods and advanced techniques, we identify and eliminate cricket breeding grounds for a long-lasting solution.
From thorough inspections to targeted treatments, we tailor our approach to suit your specific needs, so your home is free from the chirping and nuisance of crickets.
Phoenix field guide
Crickets: source to solution
A useful inspection follows the pest from the conditions that support it to the route that reaches the home.
- 01
Where it starts
Warm, dark, moist pockets
Irrigation boxes, landscape rock and garage corners provide protected shelter.
- 02
How it travels
Light and low gaps pull them in
Exterior lights attract activity while thresholds and garage edges offer a route indoors.
- 03
What breaks the cycle
Dry, seal and reduce attraction
Moisture correction, door sweeps and warmer exterior bulbs reduce both crickets and scorpion food.
Prevention
Protect Against Crickets
Crickets seek out warm, dark, moist areas where they can shelter — irrigation boxes, landscape rock, garage corners and the gap beneath door thresholds. Fit door sweeps, seal gaps around the garage, reduce the amount of standing water from irrigation, and switch bright white exterior lighting for warmer bulbs, which attract far fewer of them. Because crickets feed scorpions, this work does double duty.

Crickets in Arizona: the pest that brings other pests
Crickets are mostly a noise and nuisance problem on their own. Their real significance on a Phoenix property is what they attract.
- They are scorpion food
- Bark scorpions follow their prey, and crickets are a large part of it. A property with heavy cricket activity is a property giving scorpions a reason to cross the yard. Reducing crickets reduces the draw.
- Lighting drives the population
- Bright exterior lighting concentrates crickets against the structure at night. Warmer-toned fixtures and lighting aimed at the ground rather than at the wall reduce how many gather at the doors.
- Where they shelter
- Block-wall voids, landscape rock, stacked material and the gap under a garage door. The same harborage that shelters crickets shelters the things that eat them.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
The frequency of pest control services depends on the type of pest and the severity of the infestation. Generally, quarterly treatments are recommended for preventive measures, but more frequent treatments may be necessary for severe infestations.
Not usually for an exterior visit. Interior work needs access, so we agree a time window and the technician confirms before arriving. Service is by appointment.
Before our technician arrives, please ensure that all food is stored away, and access points to infested areas are clear. Specific preparation steps will be provided based on the type of pest being treated.
A typical pest control treatment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the property and the severity of the infestation.
Pests can return because pressure changes with weather, moisture and entry conditions. Every service. Guaranteed for 30 days. The guarantee applies to the service provided, while regular maintenance and preventive measures reduce the likelihood of re-infestation.
