I found out why the noise is so bad in my bedroom when I looked outside of the family room onto the deck. It was swarming with them....the railing was covered. Why? The bush right next to it was swarming with them by the 100's of thousands.....covered.

I decided that was time to mix up some insecticied.....I pray the birds will leave the dead ones alone but I can't let them continue at this level for the next 3 weeks or I will go more than crazy.

The war with the insecticide wasn't the smartest idea either.....as I took the pressure sprayer onto the deck, I stood there spraying with the wand......& wouldn't you know....they decided to take flight....right at me.....by the hundreds. I had loose shorts on & a short sleeve blouce with a towel on my hair as I had just taken a shower. They attacked me & I stood there batting at them with the sprayer wand as if I were playing baseball.....& of course, I couldn't keep the "girl" scream from coming out. I don't scream at anything.....but I just couldn't keep the screaming back at that point. While I was on the deck, I looked up at the side of the house, all outside of my bedroom. The bricks were just covered with them also.....no wonder they sound as if they are right inside of my bedroom.....eeewwwwww...........grose.......THIS IS WAR!!!!!!!!! I don't care how fascinating they are..

I hadn't been out the back part of my house since the cicadas have hatched out.....so it was really a shock.....then I found several inside of my house....how they got inside is beyond me.....but they were dead by the time I found them...however one of them was doing that buzzing sound this morning....that was the loud sound I heard this morning.

Four weeks of this is definitely a challenge. It is amazing how nature can have such a grating effect on ones anxiety level.....it's been raised anyway lately....so I didn't need anything to make it worse
