π¦π Hearing chirping in your basement or garage? That's not your imagination.
House and field crickets are on the move across NYC right now. As nights get colder, they slip through foundation cracks, under doors, and around basement windows looking for warmth β and once they're inside, the all-night chirping is just the start. Crickets chew through wool, silk, and other natural fabrics, leaving holes in clothes, rugs, and upholstery. And a female can lay hundreds of eggs in one season.
The smart move is stopping them outside. Our exterior perimeter treatments lay down a protective barrier around your foundation that stops crickets β plus spiders, stink bugs, and the rest of the fall invaders β before they ever get in.
