Why Morningside Heights Has a Crickets Problem
Morningside Heights' proximity to Morningside Park and Riverside Park, combined with the area's many older buildings with basement access and courtyard gardens, creates ideal conditions for cricket populations.

Why Choose Us for Cricket Control in Morningside Heights
Cricket infestations are primarily an exterior-to-interior problem — populations build up outdoors around foundation plantings, mulch beds, and exterior lighting, then migrate inside through gaps under doors and in the foundation as temperatures drop in fall. Our treatment applies a residual exterior barrier around the entire foundation perimeter, targeting the mulch beds, entry points, and harborage areas where crickets concentrate. Interior treatments focus on basement perimeters, utility areas, and any indoor harborage sites. We also recommend switching exterior lighting to yellow bug lights, which attract far fewer insects, as a preventive measure. Our 30-day guarantee covers re-treatment if crickets persist indoors after our service.
