how to silence cicadas? (or are they crickets?)

Post by fuzziman » Tue Nov 21, 2006 1:17 am

there are cicadas (or crickets?) in the tree in my backyard. They are DEAFENING!!! i can hear them in every room of my house with the doors and windows closed, and it is loader than the TV. It actually hurts my ears when I stand under the tree they are in!

I've tried spraying with water, and also with fly spray, no avail.

No use chopping down tree either, sometimes they live in the bushes...

I'm in Sydney Australia by the way.

Any suggestions? Please help!!!!!
