What are camel crickets?
Camel crickets are wingless insects with legs that resemble a spider’s.
Camel crickets have also been referred to as cave crickets, cave wetas, and spider crickets.
They range from ¾ of an inch to 1½ inches in length and their humpbacked bodies have earned them their fitting name.
Camel crickets can range from very light tan to dark brown and are easily recognizable by their distinguished, long antennae.
Camel crickets have no wings and therefore cannot chirp, so if you are hearing crickets in your home, it is a different species of cricket.
Are camel crickets dangerous?
Camel crickets are not known to bite and they do not pose serious threats to our homes. However, these insects are capable of damaging stored items when in search of a suitable food source. These stored items may include garments or linens. With a heavy infestation, you may notice fecal smears on surfaces in the home.
Why do I have a camel cricket problem?
In the wild, these pests are drawn to cool, damp, and dark places, which is why a common name for these crickets is “cave crickets”. When a camel cricket invades your home it is most likely in pursuit of an area similar to that of a cave. These pests may choose to abide in your basements, crawl spaces, bathrooms, and even garages.

Camel crickets, like many other pests, can be hard to get rid of without the help of a qualified pest professional. If you are struggling with camel crickets on your Tennessee property, contact All-American Pest Control right away to help you achieve and maintain a pest-free environment.

Can I do it myself?
The majority of do-it-yourself methods that incorporate the use of pesticides are not only ineffective, but they can be a danger to your household if not handled and executed properly.
