Cricket Pest Control | My PestControl Pty Ltd

Reliable Cricket Pest Control in Melbourne & Surrounds

At My Pest Control Pty Ltd, we provide professional cricket control services for residential, commercial, and industrial properties across Melbourne. While crickets are best known for their distinctive chirping, infestations can lead to sleepless nights, unsanitary conditions, and even damage to fabrics, paper, and stored goods. Our team offers safe, targeted, and fast-acting treatments to restore peace and comfort.

About Crickets

Crickets are nocturnal insects from the Gryllidae family. They are closely related to grasshoppers and are easily recognised by their long antennae and chirping sounds. In Melbourne, the two most commonly encountered species are:

● House Cricket (Acheta domesticus) – Light brown, about 2 cm long, and prefers warm environments
● Field Cricket (Teleogryllus oceanicus) – Larger, black or dark brown, commonly found in gardens and subfloors

Our Cricket Treatment Approach

Our licensed pest control professionals use targeted, species-specific treatments designed to eliminate active infestations and prevent re-entry:

Internal & External Surface Sprays

● Residual insecticides applied around skirting boards, flooring gaps, garages, and patios
● External sprays target potential access points, garden beds, and perimeter walls

Wall Void Dusting

● Insecticidal dust applied in cracks, subfloor areas, behind appliances, and internal wall
spaces
● Especially useful where chirping is heard but the insects are unseen

Cricket Monitoring & Traps

● Sticky boards used to assess population levels and confirm harbourage areas

Entry Point Exclusion

● Advice on sealing doors, window frames, vents, and garage gaps
● Recommendations for managing light sources that attract crickets at night

Why Are Crickets a Problem?

● Noise Pollution: Males chirp loudly to attract mates, especially at night
● Damage to Stored Items: May chew fabrics, wallpaper, books, and even food
packaging
● Indoor Infestation: Attracted to light and warmth, crickets often invade kitchens, basements, and laundries
● Fire Hazard: Nesting near electronics or appliances can lead to short circuits in rare cases
● Agricultural Disruption: May feed on seedlings and soft garden plants

Where We Commonly Find Crickets in Melbourne

● Subfloors and crawlspaces
● Kitchens and bathrooms
● Roof voids and wall cavities
● Garages, basements, and storerooms
● Gardens, sheds, and fence lines

Frequently Asked Questions – Crickets

Are crickets harmful?

Generally no, but they can contaminate food, damage paper and textiles, and disrupt sleep with their loud chirping.

Why do I have crickets indoors?

Crickets are drawn to warmth and light, especially in colder seasons. They enter through small gaps under doors and vents.

How long does the treatment last?

Our surface sprays provide residual protection for 2–3 months. For high-activity sites, seasonal treatments may be recommended.

Will I need to leave my house during treatment?

No. Most treatments are low-odour and safe to stay in the property. Entry instructions will be provided.

Can I prevent crickets without chemicals?

Improving outdoor lighting, sealing entry points, and reducing clutter can help — but a professional treatment ensures full control.
