What is the difference between camel crickets, cave crickets, and spider crickets?

Spider crickets are easily identified by their chirping and long, thin, bent legs. Contrary to popular belief, there is no difference between camel crickets, cave crickets, spider crickets, sprickets, and cave wetas. All of these names are referring to the same insect, called Diestrammena asynamoraI. Although they may look intimidating due to their size and ability to jump and move quickly, spider crickets are fairly harmless to humans and pets. 

What do spider crickets look like?

Spider Cricket NJ

Spider crickets are also known as hump-back crickets or camel crickets due to their hump-back appearance. They are light to dark brown and sometimes have bands on their 6 legs. Spider crickets measure about ½ – 1 ½ inches long, making them rather intimidating when found in your home. Spider crickets can be easily identified by their large, bent legs that allow them to jump long distances with ease.

You can find spider crickets living amongst other household pests in places such as garages, basements, crawl spaces, and under woodpiles. Anywhere that high levels of moisture exists can attract spider crickets.

Are spider crickets dangerous?

Spider crickets which are frequently seen in NJ and PA homes are not dangerous to humans. They have not been known to transmit disease and are not likely to eat food in your home. Plant matter and fungi make up the majority of a spider cricket’s diet, both of which you are not going to find in your home within dark, damp places. The only threat that spider crickets pose to your home is their tendency to eat holes through clothing and other fabric such as curtains. This sort of activity is not constant or a regular occurrence, so it may not happen in all of the homes where they reside.

Do spider crickets bite?

No, spider crickets do not bite. Like most household pests, spider crickets try to avoid humans. They thrive where conditions are dark where we will not be spending the majority of our time such as crawl spaces and basements. Spider crickets are more of a nuisance than a direct threat to humans.

How can I get rid of spider crickets in my home?

Getting rid of spider crickets begins with preparing your home against potential invaders. Tony Bolger, Silver Bullet Pest Control  Pest Solutions Regional Manager, provides tips about dealing with cricket prevention. “When dealing with occasional invaders in general, including crickets, is to eliminate as many ‘conducive conditions’ as possible. Conducive conditions are things that attract pests to an area such as moisture, shade, high grass, leaf litter, and clutter around and in home, basement moisture, and building lighting. If you have a cricket problem in your home, you want to get rid of dampness in the basement and other cool damp dark places they want to be.”
