Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Diatomaceous earth
Problem: Diatomaceous earth loses effectiveness when it gets wet or humid
Result: Crickets remain unaffected in damp environments

Sticky traps
Problem: Camel crickets can jump over or around sticky traps, and their long legs may help them escape if only partially caught.
Result: Only a few are trapped, so the infestation persists.
Homemade soap spray
Problem: Soap spray does not penetrate cricket hiding spots
Result: Only kills visible crickets, leaving infestation untouched
Vacuuming
Problem: Camel crickets hide in hard-to-reach areas
Result: Only removes visible crickets, not the entire infestation
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
