PEST OF THE WEEK: The Cricket 🦗
That chirping might sound like summer nights — until it's coming from inside your walls at 2 AM. Crickets are more than just noisy; they chew through fabrics, paper, and even wallpaper, causing real damage to your home and belongings when left unchecked.
🌿 Where they hide: Basements, garages, crawl spaces, laundry rooms, and dark corners indoors — outside they love tall grass, woodpiles, and areas near outdoor lighting that attracts them at night.
🐕 Who's at risk: Homeowners dealing with unexplained fabric damage, anyone losing sleep to relentless chirping, and families with pets who may track them inside from the yard.
⚠️ Peak season: Late summer through fall — crickets swarm toward warm homes as outdoor temperatures begin to cool, and Georgia's mild climate means they stick around longer than you'd expect.
✅ How we help: Pest Badger's targeted treatment program eliminates crickets inside and out, tackling both the infestation and the entry points they use to get in — so your nights stay peaceful and your home stays protected.
