I have got an insect in my abode which is driving us up the wall.
The noise this thing is making is unbelievable.
Problem is ....I can't find it.
I have tried all the deterants we have in the house...but still this bloody thing is still chirping.
The problem is....This is obviously a male shouting for females and there is quite enough with one............How the hell do I get shut?
This was aimed at Cashy but if anyone has any other bright ideas... .and I am sure there will be a few...go for it. ;):confused:
 
do ya know what it is roy? if its a mozzie, saucers of vinegar placed strategically will get shut of it, if its a cricket, no idea, never had one.:)
 
Is it Cicada??

Wikipedia states...."The name is a direct derivation of the Latin cicada, meaning "buzzer"."

Link for the page HERE

There is also a recording of one on there so you can compare it to the one you have.

Not a mozzie..can cope with them...It's a cricket and seems to be the most irritating bar steward in the whole of Spain.
It seems go get pleasure rubbing It's back legs together to inform us that it is on the brink of something.....I know a kick in the town halls often offends...but I can't find it.

I will.......I cannot believe how much noise this little pratt is making.
I can live with the cricket but my other half thinks I'ts my fault (As they do) and refuses to go to bed until I find it.
We are in a desperate situation.....I have moved furniture....I have sprayed everything....and still the bloody thing won't shut up.
The Rum is kicking in and I'm going to bed.....I WILL sleep through it.
If someone suggests 'Curpy Churpy Cheap, Cheap' I will be most upset.
 
is it this kind of annoying cricket?

I think it's gone.....It started at 10.00pm last night....no sound tonight.
I think I might have starved it out....Peace at last ;)

The beast at last showed it's colours....Ugly...formidable and vulnerable.
My size ten shoe was at hand....Splattered was the cry. :)
 
It might have been an ET sent here to advise how to avoid the worlds end on Wednesday
......you've knackered that up good style :D
 
Was it like this Royboy ? Taken last week at my friend's house in Denia. Don't think this particular one would be making much noise though ... appears to be an amputee :eek: Do you know what it is anyway ?
