No problem.  I know what you are talking about.  They are cicadas.  They are starting to "bug" me, too.

Cicadas don't bother me in the least.  When I'm outside, I'm very aware of the sounds of nature and enjoy it.

I don't mind bugs too much outside, don't want them in the house. Spiders no way indoors. My guy sprays every 3 months and no bugs or spiders.

Spiders are evil.  =-P  If there was a council for evil they'd disband after doing a study on spiders; finding out all their evil combined isn't as evil as the nicest spider.

Cicadas are useful for other creatures to eat, fertilizes the ground, and you can eat them if you are adventurous enough. Unfortunately, you can't get rid of the sound. Try telling them "Happy Birthday!", because when they emerge, its at least been 7-14 yrs!!!

Cicadas don't bother me in fact I found it's body shell from a tree. Was going to paint it gold & display it but the shell body crumbled as it lands upon my hand. Spiders don't scare me in fact they help cut down on real pests, mosquito,gnats, & roaches. I hate roaches they're every ware here in FLa. If you've ever been attack by a huge flying roach you'll understand my hating them. :wave:

I'm not a fan of bugs at all. But I am less so of any bug that gets out of control. I also agree that although I can tolerate them outside I can't in the house.

yes they do get quite loud.  I live in Ohio and we don't seem to have any here,,,,  yet anyway.   They are strange things but the kids love to find their shells when we do have them .  :)
