Would you know a camel cricket if you saw one? The use of the word "camel" helps a little. Camel crickets have a rounded back that sort of looks like a camel's hump. This has led some to call it a humpbacked cricket. It is also referred to as a spider cricket, or spricket, because it has leg joints that are above the body, which give it a spider-like appearance. This is a cricket that loves to dwell in caves so, for some, it is called a cave cricket. Together, these names can help you figure out if you're seeing camel crickets in your Brentwood home. Are you seeing a humpbacked cricket, with spider-like legs, clinging to the hard wall of your basement? If so… you have a camel cricket problem.
How big of a problem?
Camel crickets are not known to pose health risks to humans, they don't chirp like other crickets and they lack the ability to bite. Besides looking like a spider and having the propensity to leap off cellar walls directly at you, they aren't a threat to your health. They can, however, put a nasty hole in an important piece of clothing or chew a hole through your curtains. So, it is best to not have camel crickets in your home.
How do you get rid of camel crickets?
While camel crickets aren't a threat to your health, and they are only a mild threat to your belongings, we strongly recommend investing in a residential pest control program to manage them. Because there are many other pests that can be health threats, such as ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches, fleas, rodents, and more, a residential pest control plan like Perimeter PLUS can give you the essential protection you need to guard against pest-borne disease and bacterial threats.
