Cricket Control & Exterminators in San Diego & Southern California
Effective cricket control across San Diego and Southern California — quieting the chirping and clearing the garages and entryways where crickets gather. 90+ years and a 100% guarantee.
Common Crickets in Southern California
A few cricket varieties turn up around local homes, mostly drawn in by lighting and moisture.
House Cricket
light brown crickets that invade garages and homes and chirp loudly through the night.
Field Cricket
larger, dark crickets common in yards that wander indoors through gaps.
Camel (Spider) Cricket
humpbacked, jumping crickets that favor garages, crawl spaces, and basements; they don’t chirp.
Knowing which cricket you have points us to where they’re entering and harboring.
Signs of a Problem
You’ll often hear crickets before you see them.
- Persistent night-time chirping indoors or in the garage
- Crickets in garages, crawl spaces, or near doors
- Damage to fabric, paper, or stored items
- Crickets gathering around exterior lights at night
- More activity in late summer and fall
Why Crickets Are Common in Southern California
Warm nights, outdoor lighting, and irrigated landscaping draw crickets toward San Diego homes, especially in late summer and fall. Garages, crawl spaces, and door gaps give them easy shelter once they arrive.
Crickets breed outdoors, so control centers on the perimeter, entry points, and reducing the lighting and moisture that attract them.
How Lloyd Pest Control Gets Rid of Crickets
We treat where crickets harbor and enter, and address what’s drawing them in.
Inspection
we confirm the pest, find where they’re nesting or getting in, and note the conditions drawing them in.
Targeted Treatment
we treat the exterior perimeter with professional-grade products and treat active interior areas directly.
Barrier Protection
we seal and treat entry points to create a protective barrier around your home.
Ongoing Monitoring
recurring maintenance visits catch new activity early and keep the problem from returning — included with our monthly plans.
The result: long-term protection, not temporary relief

Frequently Asked Questions
Find and treat where they’re hiding — usually garages, crawl spaces, and door gaps — and reduce attractants like bright exterior lighting and moisture. We treat the harborage and perimeter so they stop getting in.
Crickets are drawn to warmth, light, and moisture, especially in late summer and fall. They slip in through garage doors, thresholds, and foundation gaps from the surrounding landscaping.
They don’t bite or spread disease, but they can damage fabric and paper and become a real nuisance in numbers — particularly the noise indoors.
Crickets are covered under our general home plan at about $40–$60 per month, with one-time treatments from around $135. A free quote gives you an exact figure.
It helps right away, but crickets keep migrating from the yard during peak season. Ongoing monthly service keeps the barrier active and the population down.
