Fast & Reliable Cricket Control for Phoenix Residents
Crickets may seem like harmless nighttime noisemakers, but in Phoenix’s warm desert climate, they can quickly turn into a serious nuisance for both homes and businesses. Their constant chirping can disrupt sleep, and their chewing habits can damage fabrics, paper goods, and other belongings. Left unchecked, cricket populations can grow rapidly, attracting predators such as spiders and lizards into your space.
At Overson Pest Control, we help property owners throughout Phoenix and the surrounding communities eliminate cricket infestations and prevent them from returning.

The Cricket Problem in Phoenix
Phoenix’s hot summers and mild winters create ideal breeding conditions for crickets. These pests are highly adaptable, thriving in both urban areas and natural desert landscapes. Seasonal changes, such as the monsoon season, can push them indoors in search of food, moisture, and shelter. Once inside, crickets reproduce quickly, making professional intervention the best option for long-term control.
Our team understands how local weather patterns, property layouts, and landscaping choices affect cricket activity. This knowledge allows us to create targeted treatment strategies that address your current infestation and minimize the chance of it happening again.

Why Is Professional Rodent Control Necessary?Rodents are difficult to treat, and the longer they go untreated, the more destruction they will cause. DIY efforts are often ineffective both because they fail to treat the entire infestation, allowing it to return after weeks or even days, and the treatments can backfire in a number of ways, making the problem worse. For these reasons and more, it’s essential to partner with a trusted rodent removal professional in order to ensure the safety of your home.
-
Are Rodents Dangerous?
Rodents can be a very dangerous pest. They can transmit numerous diseases including salmonella, tularemia, hantavirus, leptospirosis, choriomeningitis, rat-bite fever, and more. They can also be hosts to parasites like fleas and mosquitoes, which carry diseases of their own. They can contaminate food with their saliva or excrement and they can even start house fires due to their tendency to chew on electrical wiring. Simply put, rodents are destructive pests that pose a real threat to the humans they share living space with.
-
How Can I Tell if Rodents Have Gotten Into My Phoenix Home?
Most rodents are nocturnal, so identifying an infestation in-process requires knowing the telltale warning signs they leave behind. Here are some key signs to be aware of that could indicate rodents have gotten onto your property:
- Small brown droppings, especially in the kitchen or pantry
- Gnaw marks around your walls and baseboards
- Grease smudges left from rodents rubbing up against your walls
- Paper, fabrics, or plants that have been shredded
- Food packaging that has been tampered with
- Small coin-sized holes in the exterior of your home
- Sounds of scampering or scurrying at night
- Foul odors in the home
- Dead rodents
If you’ve seen any of the above warning signs, don’t wait: contact us immediately for a free inspection!
