House cricket adults are about 3/4 – 7/8 inch long. Their color is light yellowish brown with 3 dark cross bands on their head. The antenna is threadlike, longer than the body. Their wings lay flat on the back. Adult females have a long tube like egg laying structure called a ovipositor, located at the top of the abdomen. Nymphs look like adults except smaller, lack wings and an ovipositor.
House cricket problems often enter homes seeking moisture. When these crickets enter homes, many kinds of clothing and even carpets can be damaged. Favorite fabrics include wool, cotton, silk and synthetics. Clothes soiled with perspiration are especially attractive to house cricket infestations. They damage large areas of fabrics as opposed to the small holes typical of clothes moths or other fabric pests.
