Crickets in southern Utah
Crickets are a classic summer and fall nuisance across St. George. They breed in washes, rock beds, and irrigated landscaping, and the monsoon rains in July through September can push huge numbers out of the ground at once. They crowd toward porch lights at night, then settle into garages, under doors, and along foundations. Besides the nonstop chirping, they chew fabric and paper, and big cricket populations bring in the scorpions and spiders that eat them.
Why it matters
Crickets aren't a health threat, but they damage fabric and paper, and a large population is a food source that draws scorpions and spiders toward your home.
The fix
