What type of fabrics are especially vulnerable to house and field crickets?

House and field crickets are particularly attracted to clothing that has been soiled with perspiration. The reason behind this vulnerability lies in the scent and organic material that accumulates on the fabric when a person sweats. This scent can attract crickets, as they are drawn to food sources and areas where they might find organic matter to feed on.

Soiled clothes present a potential food source, making them more appealing to these pests compared to clean fabrics. Other fabrics, despite their various qualities or materials, do not have the same level of attraction as those that are soiled. Keeping clothing clean and hygienic is essential to prevent infestations and reduce the likelihood of crickets being drawn to them.
