Step 3: Exterior Barrier Treatment
We apply a professional-grade liquid barrier around your foundation, door thresholds, windows, and other entry points to kill crickets on contact and repel new invaders.

Q: Are house crickets dangerous?
A: No. House crickets do not bite humans or transmit diseases. However, they can damage fabrics, paper products, and food packaging – and their constant chirping is extremely annoying.
Q: Why do crickets come inside during fall?
A: As outdoor temperatures drop in fall, crickets seek warm shelter – your home. This is why cricket infestations peak in September through November.
Q: How long does cricket treatment last?
A: Our exterior barrier treatments typically last 3-4 months. We recommend quarterly treatments, especially before fall when crickets seek warmth.
Q: Is cricket treatment safe for my pets?
A: Yes. Our treatments are pet-safe once dry (about 30-60 minutes). We also offer eco-friendly options.
Q: How much does cricket control cost in Osprey?
A: Call for a free estimate. Pricing depends on home size and infestation level.
Q: Will crickets go away on their own?
A: No. Once crickets establish an indoor infestation, they will continue to reproduce. Without treatment, the problem will get worse.
