Step-by-step to get rid of house crickets

  1. Vacuum crickets and eggs found in corners
  2. Set sticky traps in warm, high-activity areas
  3. Seal gaps around windows, doors, and the foundation
  4. Reduce outdoor lighting near entrances

Safe DIY methods

  • Vacuum and remove them directly
  • Use sticky traps near warm areas
  • Reduce outdoor lighting and moisture

When to call a licensed provider instead

  • You keep seeing them after repeated DIY attempts.
  • The pest is structural, protected, or a health risk (termites, carpenter ants, wasps, rodents near food).
  • You aren't certain what you're dealing with.

For structural, protected, or health-risk pests, never DIY with wild chemical mixes. See how local exterminators handle house crickets →

Common questions

How do I get rid of crickets indoors fast?

Vacuum them, set sticky traps along baseboards and warm spots, and seal entry points. Reduce outdoor light that draws them in.

Will they go away on their own in winter?

Indoor populations can survive winter if they find warmth and food. Active removal and exclusion are usually needed.
