On the ground in Aubrey
Field crickets off open ground.
Around Aubrey crickets arrive from pasture and field rather than from a neighbour's yard, and the numbers reflect that. There is no buffer, so when the season turns they come toward the nearest heated structure in quantity. Outbuildings usually fill first, and the house follows if the openings are there, which on recent construction they often are.
Weep holes without screens and garage door corners are the usual routes, and both are quick to close. We treat the perimeter and harborage around the buildings, and we are honest that on acreage the aim is keeping them out rather than reducing the population outside. Exterior lighting matters here more than anywhere, because there is nothing else competing for their attention after dark.

Why the porch light matters
Manage the light, seal the gaps, treat the band.
There is no buffer out here, so the building itself decides the outcome. Weep holes without screens and garage door corners are the routes, and both are quick to close before the season turns.
Stage 01
01
Fix lighting
Warm-toned bulbs shrink the beacon.
Flying field crickets navigate to bright white light, which is why they drift up at lit doors. Swapping entry fixtures to warm or yellow LEDs and cutting unneeded overnight lighting removes the signal that aims the swarm at your house.
Stage 02
02
Seal doors
Door sweeps and garage seals close the landing strip.
Crickets walk in under garage doors and thresholds, the same routes as everything else. Door sweeps, garage seals and screened weep holes turn the drift at your door into a drift that stays outside.
Stage 03
03
Treat perimeter
The barrier is in place before the August flights start.
The Zero Gap perimeter treatment covers the foundation line, door zones and harborage where crickets stage, and the quarterly cadence means the fall flight meets a treated barrier. Less crickets also means less of what hunts them, scorpions and spiders.
Where crickets actually get in
On flight nights, six doors matter most.
September's field cricket flights land at your lights and walk the wall until something gives. This is the pre-flight checklist we run on the structure.
● Inspected entry point
▲ Above grade Climbers and high entries
▼ Below grade Ground-level entries
- 01
Garage door bottom
The number-one cricket entry in DFW, where the drift at the lit driveway walks straight under the worn seal.
- 02
Weep holes
Ground-level and shadowed, crickets shelter in weeps by day and end up in walls by night.
- 03
Dryer vent
A stuck flap is an open invitation two feet off the ground.
- 04
Utility penetrations
Slab gaps behind beds and shrubs collect the yard's crickets every cold snap.
- 05
HVAC penetrations
Warm mechanical voids draw the late-season stragglers.

The cricket visit
Forterra's cricket process, step by step.
Perimeter work on the house and the outbuildings, timed before the flights rather than after. Exterior lighting matters more here than anywhere, because nothing else competes for their attention after dark.
- 01
Transparent quote
Get the number before the visit. The online quote takes about a minute, the phone version a couple more. Cricket coverage prices as part of the quarterly plan, fixed in writing.
- 02
First-visit inspection
Entry gaps, lighting, harborage and the garage get reviewed; in fall the technician also checks what the crickets are feeding, since scorpion and spider pressure rides their numbers.
- 03
Treat and seal
Perimeter band and staging areas treated, door and garage gaps closed, and lighting swaps recommended where fixtures are aiming the flight at your house.
- 04
Guaranteed results
Chirping that comes back between visits is treated again for free. Under it all sits the money-back guarantee, the same one every Forterra plan carries.
Frequently asked
Questions in Aubrey, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 670-2835 or text us, a human will answer.
Autumn flights happen across Texas, and on acreage you get the full force of them because there is no neighbouring development absorbing any. Open pasture produces the crickets and a single lit building becomes the only destination for miles.
Lights off, follow the sound, and check the garage, utility room and mudroom first. Out here it usually came in the evening before and has not got far, so the outer rooms are where it is.
Structurally almost nothing. Some chewing on paper or fabric and a great deal of noise. On acreage the more useful point is that a heavy flight indoors means an opening is standing wide, usually on a building only a few years old.
Yes, and out here more than anywhere. A single bright fixture on an otherwise dark property gathers everything within range. Switching to a motion sensor or a warmer fitting changes what arrives at the wall before any treatment does.
The quarterly plan covers it at $49 a month with initial service from $149. Outbuildings are quoted alongside rather than assumed, and in a heavy flight year we may recommend an extra autumn perimeter visit and price it separately.
