What Do Cricket Bites Look Like?

Cricket bites are uncommon but possible with species like camel crickets or field crickets. Signs may include:

  • Small red bumps resembling mosquito bites

  • Minor swelling or itching

  • Mild discomfort at the site

Cricket bites are not venomous and typically don’t require medical treatment unless there’s an allergic reaction.

DIY Cricket Pest Control Methods

Some initial steps you can try include:

  • Sealing cracks and crevices

  • Removing clutter from garages and basements

  • Using sticky traps near entry points

However, for serious infestations, DIY often isn’t enough.
