Cricket Control in Stillwater, Oklahoma
Murray Pest Control — Free Inspection — 405-377-7777
Every fall, Stillwater deals with one of the most intense cricket invasions in the state. If you have lived here through an OSU football season, you know exactly what this looks like. When temperatures drop, field crickets swarm toward warm structures by the thousands. Murray Pest Control provides targeted perimeter treatments to stop crickets before they get inside.
Stillwater’s Annual Cricket Invasion
Cricket season peaks in September and October. Bright lights, warm structures, and OSU campus all contribute to Stillwater’s intense cricket migration. Beyond the noise and mess, crickets left untreated indoors damage fabrics, clothing, and paper products — and their presence attracts scorpions and brown recluse spiders looking for food.
Why Crickets Also Attract Scorpions & Spiders
Crickets are a primary food source for scorpions and brown recluse spiders. A heavy cricket infestation is an open invitation for more dangerous pests. Treating crickets aggressively — especially before peak season — is one of the best indirect defenses against scorpions and spiders as well.
