Cricket control in Upper East Side: what to know

The Upper East Side mixes luxury pre-war co-ops with high-rises and townhouses. Even well-kept buildings face bed bug risk from travel-heavy residents and clothing-moth pressure from stored natural fibres and wool.

Shared trash and service areas in large buildings sustain rodent and cockroach pressure regardless of the building's grade.

Discretion matters here — we service co-ops and high-end buildings quietly and provide the documentation boards require.

Signs you need cricket control

  • Chirping at night (house crickets) coming from basements or walls
  • Humpbacked, long-legged crickets jumping in basements, cellars or bathrooms
  • Holes or damage in stored fabric, cardboard or paper in basement storage
  • Crickets concentrated in damp, dark ground-floor and below-grade areas

How we treat cricket control in Upper East Side

Crickets — especially the humpbacked camel cricket (often called a 'spider cricket' or 'cave cricket') — are a common but under-treated NYC pest. They thrive in the damp basements, cellars, crawl spaces and ground-floor units that older New York buildings have in abundance, and their chirping and jumping make them especially unwelcome indoors.

Camel crickets don't chirp but they jump erratically when disturbed and feed on fabric, cardboard and stored items in basements. House crickets are drawn to warmth and light. Both signal a moisture and entry-point problem, which is why treatment that ignores the underlying conditions never holds.

Cricket & Camel Cricket Control in Upper East Side — FAQs

What are the jumping crickets in my basement?

Those are almost certainly camel crickets (also called spider or cave crickets) — humpbacked, long-legged crickets that thrive in damp NYC basements and jump when disturbed. They don't chirp but can damage stored fabric and paper.

How do I get rid of camel crickets?

Treat the harbourage areas, reduce basement moisture and clutter, and seal entry points. We handle all three so they don't simply return.
