Frequently Asked Questions
How Do Crickets Enter My Home or Business?
Crickets enter through small cracks and crevices around windows, doors, foundations, and even through vents. They are attracted to light and warmth, which can lead them inside structures during cooler months. Regular inspections can help identify these access points and seal them effectively. Ensuring that screens are intact and there are no gaps under doors can be a simple but effective measure to keep crickets out.
Are the Treatments Safe for Children & Pets?
Yes, our cricket control treatments are designed to be safe for humans and pets. We use environmentally responsible products that effectively target crickets while posing minimal risk to your family and the local ecosystem. Our technicians are trained to apply these treatments with precision, focusing on problem areas to limit any exposure. Safety is a cornerstone of our service protocols, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions to further ensure the well-being of all household members.

What are Fleas?Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that feed off of the blood of mammals and birds. Our primary concern is 2 aptly named species: the cat flea and the dog flea. Their names can be deceptive though, since the cat flea is also the primary ectoparasite of domestic dogs as well. Fleas can often bite humans as well but will not be able to sustain themselves over extended periods of time. Eggs (20 or so) are laid n the host and can develop within 1-2 weeks. Eggs often fall off of the pets and onto their bedding or surrounding areas. Adult fleas can live 30-90 days under ideal conditions. Fleas can jump 7 inches high which is impressive in itself but in comparison that would be like an adult human jumping over 100 feet high.

What are yellow jacket wasps?
Yellow jackets are the most common WASP found in the eastern United States; they’re not actually bees. Easily identified by their bright yellow and black stripes on their abdomen, yellow jackets are prolific hunters and nest builders. Sometimes yellow jackets are confused with Hornets because of their colors but Hornets have much larger heads and most hornets in our area are black and white striped (bald-faced hornet) or yellow and red/brown (European hornet) These wasps do not pollinate but benefit the ecosystem by controlling smaller insect populations that damage crops and food items.
Only the queen can survive the winter, living off of fat stores she built up during the summer and nesting in tree hollows, spaces in the ground, etc. Queens emerge in early spring (sometimes by accident on a warm winter day) and search for a place to build a nest. Nesting sites might be at the top of a roof peak, behind window shutters, under a pool deck, etc (typically this is the German Yellow jacket) and even underground nests (typically the Eastern Yellow jacket).
Once the first group of eggs hatch, the queen will retire from nest building and only focus on egg laying. Populations can reach 3,000-5,000 by mid to late summer and nest size can easily triple within 2 weeks of ideal weather. All female yellow jackets can sting (repeatedly), often “marking” a person with a pheromone or chemical that will attract more yellow jackets to attack.
