The lifespan of a cricket is between 1 month to 3 months.
The lifespan of a cricket can also vary depending on food availability, environment and the species.
House crickets tend to live between 30 days to 40 days and camel crickets sometimes live as long as 1 to 2 years.
Mormon crickets live between 60 days to 90 days from hatching to adulthood and they are large flightless crickets.
Mormon crickets are the most active during the daylight hours and in temperatures between 65 F to 95 F.
Warmer climates speed up a cricket's life cycle and colder climates slow down the crickets life cycle.
Crickets can also live without food or water for up to 2 weeks and even predators can influence a cricket's lifespan.
Crickets hate certain scents, such as peppermint, lavender, citronella, or vinegar.
Using essential oils or natural repellents with these scents around your house may help discourage crickets from entering.
Crickets are orthopteran insects which are related to bush crickets, and, more distantly, to grasshoppers.
In older literature, such as Imms, "crickets" were placed at the family level, but contemporary authorities including Otte now place them in the superfamily Grylloidea.
