Why Are Crickets Moving Into Your NJ Home? Peak Cricket Season Explained

Why are crickets suddenly appearing around your New Jersey home?

Late summer and early fall—especially August through October—is peak cricket season in NJ. Populations have grown throughout the summer, and cooler nights begin driving crickets indoors in search of warmth, moisture, and shelter.

Crickets commonly enter through gaps around:

• Doors and garage doors
• Foundations and basement windows
• Utility lines and exterior openings
• Crawl spaces and other damp areas

Mulch, fallen leaves, dense vegetation, humid basements, and damp crawl spaces can also attract cricket activity.

If the nighttime chirping won’t stop, Action Termite and Pest Control can locate the activity, identify potential entry points, and provide professional cricket control.
