As we all know, crickets are one of those pests that are usually found inside houses. They belong to nature, outdoors, in long grasses making their iconic chirping sound.

So, what does this tells you? it means that if your house has long grass all around, they can probably house crickets. And later on, these crickets get inside your house and create an infestation.

You can’t blame them; you are inviting them inside yourself. this is the reason why we recommended having a yard that is nicely trimmed and neat.

3. Diatomaceous earth - DE
DE or Diatomaceous Earth is a term that has been thrown around a lot in the world of pest control. And it is only natural because DE is just so amazing.

You will be surprised to know that this is a powder made from Skeletons of ancient algae. Its works in an even more amazing way.

You see, this is a powder-like substance, plus it is microscopic. In addition to this, it’s quite rough or says sharp. Consequently, when insects or our concerned pests, Crickets walk over this substance, it will penetrate their skin or shell.

This will cause them to eventually dehydrate and die.

Once you have your hands on this substance, all you need to do is sprinkle it indoors or outdoors, wherever the infestation is taking place.

However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind. first is that it is only effective when it is dry, so avoid using it in damp areas. In addition to this, it can be quite dangerous. So, wear all the required protective gear, and keep children away from it. 

4. Declutter
Another simple, yet amazing way of discouraging crickets from infesting your sweet home, is decluttering. And there is a solid reason behind it.
