Why Inwood Has a Crickets Problem
Inwood's mix of pre-war apartment buildings, the natural landscape of Inwood Hill Park, and proximity to waterways creates ideal conditions for cricket infestations, especially during warmer months. The neighborhood's older building infrastructure and abundant green spaces make professional pest control essential for maintaining comfortable living environments.
Why Choose Us for Cricket Control in Inwood
Cricket infestations are primarily an exterior-to-interior problem — populations build up outdoors around foundation plantings, mulch beds, and exterior lighting, then migrate inside through gaps under doors and in the foundation as temperatures drop in fall. Our treatment applies a residual exterior barrier around the entire foundation perimeter, targeting the mulch beds, entry points, and harborage areas where crickets concentrate. Interior treatments focus on basement perimeters, utility areas, and any indoor harborage sites. We also recommend switching exterior lighting to yellow bug lights, which attract far fewer insects, as a preventive measure. Our 30-day guarantee covers re-treatment if crickets persist indoors after our service.
