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:
● Residual insecticides applied around skirting boards, flooring gaps, garages, and patios
● External sprays target potential access points, garden beds, and perimeter walls
● Insecticidal dust applied in cracks, subfloor areas, behind appliances, and internal wall
spaces
● Especially useful where chirping is heard but the insects are unseen
● Sticky boards used to assess population levels and confirm harbourage areas
● 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
