Crickets
Crickets live inside and outside your home. They are green, brown or black and can be up to 1½ inches long. Crickets have long antennas that stretch the length of their bodies. They have long hind legs used to jump great distances; they can also fly. Their mobility makes them difficult to control. Male crickets make a loud, distinct chirping sound by rubbing together parts of their front wing.
Damage
Outside of the home, Crickets chew holes in plants and leaves. In fall, Crickets often move indoors, seeking shelter, food and moisture. Once indoors, they will feed on clothes, houseplants, food and other materials that contain moisture.
Location
Crickets are found throughout the United States.
