Cricket Control in Nashville, TN

Nashville is a city that loves music, but a cricket chirping in the basement at 2 a.m. is not the kind anyone wants. When fall nights cool off in Middle Tennessee, crickets head indoors to stay warm. Teddy’s Pest Solutions offers eco-friendly crickets pest control throughout Nashville, with treatment for both the inside and outside of your home.

We serve Nashville, TN and the surrounding Middle Tennessee area with cricket treatment plans built around your home’s basement, crawl space, and yard.

Which Crickets We Treat in Nashville

We treat the two crickets named on our service page: the house cricket and the field cricket. House crickets are light tan with three dark bands on the head. Field crickets are bigger and dark brown to black. In Nashville, you may also see camel crickets, also called cave crickets. They have a humped back, very long legs, and no wings, so they do not chirp. They like damp basements and crawl spaces. Tell your technician if you see them during your inspection.

Why Crickets Are a Problem in Nashville

Nashville has cold winters, so crickets look for a warm place when fall comes. Homes give them that, and once inside they can keep breeding through the winter.

Many Nashville homes have basements or crawl spaces that stay damp. Leaf piles and firewood stacked near the house give crickets a place to gather right before they move in.

Cricket Facts Every Nashville Homeowner Should Know

• Crickets head indoors in the fall in Nashville. They need a warm spot for winter.
• Firewood and leaf piles hold crickets. Stacks near the house bring them close to the door.
• Only male crickets chirp. They rub their wings together to call a mate or guard their space. That is the sound that keeps people up at night.
• House crickets and field crickets look different. House crickets are light tan with dark bands on the head. Field crickets are darker and a little bigger.
• Crickets chew on things in the home. They can damage fabric, paper, and house plants.
• Crickets can lay eggs indoors. A few crickets that move in when it cools down can turn into many more by spring.

Why Getting Rid of Crickets Matters

Winter does not end the problem. Crickets that get inside can live and breed until spring.

The noise does not stop on its own. One male cricket in a wall or closet can chirp all night, and it is hard to find.

Crickets damage household items. They chew on fabric, paper, and indoor plants.

Crickets bring other pests. Spiders and scorpions eat crickets, so more crickets can mean more of both. See our spider control and scorpion control pages.

A small problem can grow. Crickets can breed indoors, so a few in the fall can become a lot by spring.

Signs You Have a Cricket Problem

• Chirping at night, often from one spot you cannot find
• Live or dead crickets near doors, windows, or the garage
• Small holes or chewed spots on fabric, paper, or house plants
• Crickets in the basement or crawl space as the weather cools
• Crickets in firewood stacks or leaf piles near the house

If you notice any of these signs around your Nashville home, our team can take a look during a cricket inspection and treatment visit.

Our Eco-Friendly Cricket Control Process

Step 1: Full Inspection. We check your Nashville property for cricket hot spots, including basements, crawl spaces, garages, doorways, and woodpiles. We look for where crickets are hiding, breeding, and getting in.

Step 2: Eco-Friendly Treatment. We treat both the inside and outside of your home with sprays and granules, and we place traps in the spots where crickets are most active. We ask that the home be tidy before the visit, and that everyone step outside for about an hour or until the product is dry.

Step 3: Simple Tips for Your Home. We point out the things that draw crickets in, like bright lights, damp spots, and clutter near the house, and give you easy tips to cut down on them.

Step 4: Ongoing Monthly or Bi-Monthly Service. Because crickets in Nashville move indoors each fall and can last through winter, most clients stay on a monthly or bi-monthly plan. This lets our team come back often and catch new crickets early.
