Cricket Control for Riverton & Herriman Homes

Cricket pressure in Utah builds through summer and into early fall, when dry heat and cooling nights push house crickets and field crickets toward structures in search of moisture and warmth. They find their way in through foundation cracks, gaps under doors, and utility penetrations. Once inside, they’re noisy at best and destructive at worst. Our cricket control in Riverton is built around understanding exactly why crickets show up and what conditions keep them there.

We’ve served Riverton as a family-owned business since 2012. Our owner, Steve Tanner, holds the Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) designation, a credential earned through rigorous testing on insect biology and behavior, and he’s one of only 16 ACE-certified professionals in Utah. That depth of knowledge shapes every inspection and treatment we plan. Treatments are designed to be safe for pets and children, and every service comes with a free estimate and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

If crickets are keeping you up at night or getting into your home, call us at (801) 980-2438 to schedule a free estimate. We can assess your property and put together a plan specific to what we find.

What Sets Our Cricket Treatment Apart

Most pest control companies apply a treatment and move on. Our approach targets the environmental conditions that attract and sustain cricket populations, not just the crickets visible at the time of service. This is the core of integrated pest management (IPM): a method that looks at the full picture rather than reacting to surface symptoms.

Steve’s ACE credential informs how we identify harborage sites, assess entry risk, and sequence treatments across the season. Understanding the lifecycle, eggs overwintering in soil, nymphs emerging in spring, and adults becoming active by midsummer, lets us time and target treatments more precisely than a generic spray schedule allows.

Our credentials and commitments:

• ACE-certified ownership: Steve Tanner is one of only 16 Associate Certified Entomologists in Utah
• Four-part treatment plan: Comprehensive coverage addressing current infestations and re-entry prevention
• IPM methodology: Targets conducive conditions alongside active cricket populations
• No overbooking: Each visit gets focused time and thorough attention
• Association memberships: National Pest Management Association and Utah Pest Management Association

How Our Cricket Control Process Works

We start with a property inspection to identify the cricket species present, locate harborage sites, and map entry points specific to your home or business. Mulch beds, woodpiles, rock piles, and weedy ornamental beds adjacent to the foundation are common refuges. We document what we find before any product goes down.

From there, treatment is customized to your property. We address both interior and exterior areas, applying IPM methods that target conducive conditions alongside active populations. Follow-up visits are part of the process. We verify progress and address any resurgence rather than treating a single visit as the finish line.
