Cricket Control Services in Nairobi and Surrounding Areas
Crickets may seem harmless at first glance, but in homes, businesses, and agricultural settings across Nairobi and nearby towns like Thika, Kiambu, Ruiru, Kitengela, Ongata Rongai, and Machakos, they can become a real nuisance. These insects are known for their loud, persistent chirping, and when they infest in large numbers, they can cause property damage, contaminate food, and disrupt peace.
Nairobi Pest Control provides professional cricket inspection, treatment, and prevention services, ensuring your premises remain pest-free and comfortable.
Understanding Crickets in Nairobi
Crickets are nocturnal insects recognized for their distinctive chirping sounds produced by rubbing their wings together. In Nairobi’s climate, especially during warmer, humid months, crickets thrive both outdoors and indoors. Common species in the region include house crickets, field crickets, and camel crickets.
Why Cricket Control is Important
- Noise disturbance from chirping, especially at night.
- Damage to fabrics, paper, and stored goods.
- Contamination of food products in kitchens or storage areas.
- Disruption in commercial spaces such as hotels, offices, and warehouses.
- Potential attraction of other pests like spiders, which feed on crickets.
Crickets are not just an annoyance in large infestations, they can affect productivity, comfort, and cleanliness.
Signs of a Cricket Infestation
- Persistent chirping noises during the night.
- Sightings of live crickets, especially in dark, warm, or moist areas.
- Damage to fabrics, upholstered furniture, and cardboard.
- Shed skins and droppings in infested areas.
