Cave Cricket Control on Long Island
Cave crickets — also known as spider crickets — are among the most unsettling pests homeowners encounter on Long Island. These jumpy, leggy insects thrive in cool, damp environments like basements, crawl spaces, and laundry rooms. While they don’t bite or spread disease, their presence can quickly become overwhelming, especially when they gather in large numbers.

Whether you’re seeing just a few or a full infestation, our licensed experts will help restore comfort and peace of mind to your home.

Why Do Cave Crickets Invade Homes?
Cave crickets make their way indoors when they’re looking for what they love most — cool, damp, and dark spaces. Basements, garages, and crawl spaces on Long Island offer the perfect environment for them to hide, breed, and stay protected from outdoor conditions.
When temperatures drop in the fall, these crickets start migrating inside in search of warmth and moisture. Once settled, they can quickly multiply and become difficult to manage without professional help. In the spring, their eggs hatch, often causing another surge in activity as new crickets emerge.
You’ll most likely find cave crickets:
-
In basements, crawl spaces, and laundry rooms
-
Around foundations, drains, and sump pump areas
-
Under decks, porches, or stored items
-
Near leaf piles, mulch, or wood debris close to the home
