HOW TO GET RID OF CRICKET NOISE AT NIGHT

Crickets are insects that are identified majorly by the chirping sounds they make rather than their looks.
Its sight might sometimes be fascinating when spotted on a beautiful field of grass but having a number
of them at your bedroom or your backyard could turn that fascination into a bumpy ride of nightmares.

How do crickets make their chirping sounds?

Many people assume that these insects make a disturbingly sharp noise through their long legs or by the
aid of their mouth while chewing or biting on something. However, crickets make their high-pitched
chirp by scrapping the edge of a wing against the other; this movement is hardly noticed since it takes
just a moment and it's only done by male crickets. Are male crickets the only crickets we see then? Since
crickets are identified for chirping, maybe.

How do you get rid of crickets sounds?

If you're a person that finds these sounds unappealing and disturbing, after a day of endless activities,
getting a well deserved rest might be impossible with the presence of as little as just one cricket.
However, you wouldn't just shut out this burdensome sound by wrapping a pillow around your head.

Consider the following suggestions on how best to get rid of cricket sounds.

1. Installing a natural light.

This works if you're struggling with cricket infestation both in your house or in your field. Crickets are
nocturnal insects and they are mostly prone to dwell in dark and warm places which can be in your field
or in a most conveniently dark spot in your room. Getting a natural light will help ward them off since
the bulbs have the same illuminating ability as the sun.

2. Insecticides.

If you're not seeming to get the best out of the situation, you can resort to the use of an insecticide.
Although, using an insecticide may produce a choking smell which might not be convenient but there
are other alternatives of odourless insecticides that does the job effectively with little or no smell. Using
insecticides before bedtime is a good idea for knocking crickets off and stoping them from ruining your
night rest.
3. Keeping your home and environment neat.

Mostly, crickets are attracted to dirt and they seek warmth in clustered and dark places. You would want
to keep your field properly mowed and trimmed. You can also get rid of old wooden covers where
insects can hide.

Crickets might stick on wools, fabrics, clothes, rugs or bedsheets that have been stained with juice or
any sweet substance. Trust me, Crickets have sweet tooths!

So, make sure that you thoroughly clean and wash candy stained fabrics with lemon based detergents.
These will make a big deal in stopping your house from being infested by crickets and giving you a sound
night rest.

To get the best out of your “cricket hunt”,

At night, looking for crickets might result in an endless search because crickets are quick in sensing
vibrations and they are likely to hide before your eyes can see them.

Avoid looking for crickets during the day also because they are nocturnal insects. You aren't likely to
spot one in a broad daylight.

Once you've gotten rid of the cricket problem, you might want to consider keeping the grass low and the
environment clean; regularly closing the doors and avoiding leaving the doors opened in order to avoid a
bigger infestation.
