Jerusalem Cricket in Attic: Accidental Visitor

SoCal: Scratching in attic crawl space = Jerusalem cricket (potato bug). Another on patio 10 ft away. House on slab, sealed, remodeled, termite-treated. Why now?

Why They Enter

  • Seek shade and moisture.
  • Don't breed indoors.
  • Attic one likely carried in box from garage/shed.

Harmless

No damage, no bite risk (unless handled). No treatment needed.

Monthly perimeter spray won't stop occasional wanderers.
