Camel Cricket Care
Pest Care Guide
About This Pest
Why They're Here
Camel crickets are drawn to cool, damp, dark spaces. Basements, crawlspaces, and garages are their favorite spots. They're harmless but can startle you with their jumping.
What to Watch For
Large, humpbacked crickets that jump when disturbed, usually spotted in basements, garages, or crawlspaces.
Our Natural Approach
Targeted Treatment
We use targeted, least-toxic treatments — botanical and mineral-based as the primary approach — to address the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Family-Conscious Formulas
Our primary toolkit is botanical and mineral-based, formulated to minimize risk to your family and pets. No synthetic pyrethroid sprays. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt (essential-oil based) or EPA-registered minimum-risk pesticides (silica gel, borate).
How You Can Help
- Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture in basements and crawlspaces.
- Seal gaps around basement windows and utility pipes.
- Remove clutter and cardboard boxes from damp areas.
- Make sure exterior drainage directs water away from your foundation.
Family & Pet Considerations
Our treatments use botanical and mineral-based products to minimize risk to your family — children and pets included. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt or EPA-registered minimum-risk. If we ever recommend an EPA-registered escalation product, we'll show you the label and explain it before applying.
