This can be a major annoyance when you are trying to relax and sleep. Although this is not dangerous it can be annoying but it can cause damage as well. Some species of crickets are known for eating and chewing through the fabric in the house as well as books and other papers. This can over time create damage that you will need to repair or replace.
