Crickets vs. Grasshoppers

While both of these bugs produce similarly loud noises and have large back legs that allow them to jump high and far, crickets are much, much smaller. They're also not known for the large population spikes of the grasshopper, which can quickly pose a problem in many areas of Boise. Crickets have antennae; grasshoppers do not. Crickets feed on dead or dying insects.

Grasshoppers feed on plants, though some species will only eat grass. There are 20,000 grasshopper species around the world. They will lay eggs in bunches numbering up to 100 eggs each, usually in August through October with those eggs hatching the following May. Infestations occur every three to seven years and can last for up to five years. These are considered pests more than critters are, but in any case, call us if you are having trouble deciding what kind of infestation you have.
