Crickets in northern Nevada
Field and house crickets are a classic late-summer nuisance across the Reno-Sparks valley. They breed in yards, fields, and mulch, then move toward warmth as nights cool, collecting in garages, basements, and along foundations. Beyond the nonstop chirping, they'll chew on fabric and paper, and large numbers draw in the spiders and other pests that eat them.
Why it matters
Crickets don't threaten health, but they damage fabric and paper, and a heavy population becomes a food source that attracts spiders and other predators indoors.
