Cave crickets are a type of cricket that are often found in basements. Here\u2019s why these pests are typically seen in this kind of environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strong Sense of Touch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rhaphidophoridae\" target=\"_blank\">Cave crickets<\/a> are used to living in areas that have little to no light. Since they can\u2019t rely on their sense of sight to find out what\u2019s around them, they depend on their sense of touch instead. These crickets have adapted to living in lightless conditions, including basements, which has given them an excellent sense of touch. Cave crickets are actually known to hop toward a perceived threat in order to find out more about it or try to scare it away. Don\u2019t be alarmed if this happens in your basement, though. Cave crickets are harmless to humans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ideal Reproductive Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cave crickets require damp and dark environments in order to reproduce. Basements provide these conditions, which makes it easy for these pests to increase their numbers. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/home-pest-control\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Cave crickets<\/a> should be removed as soon as possible to prevent them from reproducing and creating a bigger pest problem.<\/p>\n<p>If you have cave crickets hopping around your basement, give <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\">Allison Pest Control<\/a> a call.
