They can get up to two inches long, but you&#8217;ll be happy to know that they don&#8217;t bite humans, although their appearance can lead you to think otherwise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\"><strong style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">Where Do You Find Them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">Cave crickets, just like their name suggests, prefer damp places like caves. It&#8217;s not often that they wander into human dwellings, however if you have a cave cricket infestation, you&#8217;re likely to find them around standing water, drains or leaks\u00a0in a dark place in your basement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\"><strong style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">What Harm Can They Do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">In large numbers, cave crickets can cause some significant damage. They can feed on plants, fabrics and other <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2013\/12\/16\/hitchhiking-insects-do-not-spread-holiday-cheer\/\">insects<\/a>. If they&#8217;re in your basement, you risk losing some of the items you have in storage if cave crickets are around. When they&#8217;re outside, they can feed on your outdoor plants, the fabric on your lawn furniture, or even on the clothes you hang on your clothesline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">Although cave\u00a0crickets don&#8217;t bite, their best line of defense is to jump at anything they consider to be a threat. That might be your first hint that you have them in your home.\u00a0They will have a tendency to jump towards you instead of away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #3a3a3c;\">A residential pest control specialist will be able to rid you of your cave cricket problem, and prevent other cave crickets from coming later on.
