What Attracts Cave Crickets?
The cave cricket is active year-round, and while usually residing in cool, damp areas, they begin searching for warmer places to spend the fall and winter in New York. This means they usually end up hanging out around your foundation, and ultimately inside your home. They lay eggs in the spring that will hatch a few weeks later. Because of their behavior, you will usually see a spike in cave cricket activity in the spring as they're hatching and in the fall as they're moving into warmer areas.

Can Cave Crickets Cause Damage?
