\"\"<\/a>In China, having a cricket<\/a> in your home is a sign of good luck.\u00a0 In fact, to some, crickets are so revered, once captured, they are adorned with special little cricket houses, fed well and tended to daily.\u00a0 When they sing their glorious song it\u2019s considered joyful music.<\/p>\n

For many of us here in the United States, the sound of crickets chirping is not so bad when you are camping or enjoying the great outdoors.\u00a0 Once these critters happen to make their way inside your home, the music that they make can drive you batty!
\nTypically living outdoors, crickets will enter buildings through small cracks around windows, foundations, in siding, and spaces under doors.\u00a0 Crickets are closely related to grasshoppers and cockroaches.<\/p>\n

There are three types of crickets that you will find in New Jersey\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0House cricket<\/a> \u2013 light yellowish brown, with long thin antennae and three darker brown bands on the head.\u00a0 House crickets prefer to reside in warm places such as kitchens, basement areas, and near the fireplace.\u00a0 These omnivorous critters are attracted to water, are nocturnal and chirp non-stop.\u00a0 Once inside, they can be destructive to silk and woolens and will eat most anything that humans eat.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Field cricket \u2013 there are six different species in North America.\u00a0 Once they invade a home, they will attack cotton, wool, silk and linen items.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Camel crickets \u2013 these crickets have a hump-back appearance of a camel and fragile legs.\u00a0 They are excellent jumpers, nocturnal, and never chirp.\u00a0 Cricket populations can be reduced by hiring a licensed New Jersey pest control expert.\u00a0<\/p>\n
