Family-Owned Pest Control Serving Murrieta Since 2001

Crickets are easy to ignore until they’re not. The persistent chirping that starts outside a garage or laundry room quickly becomes impossible to tune out, and once crickets get indoors, they’re known to chew through fabric, stored paper, and household items. Fowler Pest Control is a family-owned company based in Murrieta, and we’ve been helping homeowners and businesses across Southern California’s Inland Empire and Coastal region deal with exactly these problems since 2001.

Our approach to cricket control addresses both the indoor spots where crickets hide and the outdoor landscaping conditions that draw them toward a structure in the first place. We use products that are safe for children, pets, and landscaping throughout every treatment.

Ready to stop the noise? Call us at (951) 447-4670 to request a free estimate, and we’ll work to schedule your visit the same day.

Why Murrieta Residents Choose Fowler Pest Control

We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM), an approach that combines thorough inspection, targeted treatment, and habitat modification to control pests effectively while minimizing environmental impact. Our licensed technicians receive ongoing training at our on-premises training center to stay current on the latest techniques and products. That combination of method and knowledge means we’re not just treating what’s visible; we’re addressing the conditions that allowed crickets to become a problem in the first place.

Practical service matters too. We strive for same-day scheduling whenever possible, offer emergency services for urgent situations, and provide free estimates so you can make an informed decision before committing to anything. Our team is bilingual in English and Spanish, making it easy to communicate clearly from the first call through the final follow-up.

House Crickets vs. Field Crickets in Murrieta

Two species account for most cricket problems in Murrieta homes and businesses. Knowing which one you’re dealing with helps explain where they’re coming from and how they’re getting in.

House Crickets

House crickets are light brown and roughly three-quarters of an inch long. They gravitate toward warm, humid interior spaces like garages, laundry rooms, and wall voids. Their chirping is loud and continuous, produced by males rubbing their wings together as a mating call. Once established indoors, they can feed on fabric, paper, and stored goods.

Field Crickets

Field crickets are larger and darker than house crickets. They typically live around landscaping, woodpiles, and outdoor lighting before finding their way inside through gaps at the foundation or under doors. Both species are drawn to warmth, moisture, and light, which is why properties with bright exterior lighting or damp garden beds tend to see more activity.

Neither species stings, and bites are rare and inconsequential, but the damage they cause to stored items and the noise they generate make them a genuine nuisance. Early identification helps us place treatments where they can do the most good.

Our Cricket Control Process

Every service starts with a thorough inspection. We identify the species present, locate entry points, and assess how far activity has spread inside and around the structure. That inspection drives everything that follows: a customized treatment plan built around the specific conditions on your property rather than a one-size approach applied to every job.

Treatment uses safe, eco-friendly products designed to manage pests while protecting your family and pets. Crack-and-crevice treatments address indoor harborage areas. Perimeter treatment targets the outdoor zones where crickets congregate before entering a structure. When habitat conditions around the property are contributing to the problem, we address those as part of the plan.

What Draws Crickets to a Property

Crickets don’t wander indoors randomly. Specific conditions outside a structure make it a more attractive destination, and understanding those conditions is a core part of what makes Integrated Pest Management effective.

Bright outdoor lighting is one of the biggest contributors. It draws crickets toward a structure at night, concentrating them near the foundation where entry points are easiest to find. Damp landscaping, mulch beds, and woodpiles stored close to the house provide shelter and moisture while they wait for a way in. Common entry points include gaps under doors, cracks in the foundation, weep holes, and openings around windows or utility penetrations.

Reducing excess moisture, sealing cracks and gaps, and keeping storage areas decluttered all make a property less hospitable to crickets. Exclusion steps like these are a standard part of how we approach every job, and we can walk you through them during the inspection so you understand exactly what’s driving activity at your property.
