Never noticed how loud crickets are.
They are almost deafening if you stand next to a field full of them.

true
cicadas are even worse, although crickets can be louder through sheer numbers

you can eat both roasted

Have you ever had one get into your house? I had one in my fucking shower drain last fall and it was goddamn terrible.

No but getting it to stop sounds like a trivial task unless you want it alive.
But i don't know how it would get in the shower drain in the first place. Care to explain?

No idea, but there it was. Drowning it out was also a more difficult task than it seems, I ran the water for a while and then it would just start up again after 20 minutes or so, repeat like 5x.

>>22887324
unless it somehow was a protected species or otherwise illegal couldn't you just put some insecticide or other chemicals in there to kill it?
Sounds more humane than drowning it for 4 hours.

>>22887331
Yeah I guess. Spraying raid down my drainpipe seems like a really stupid idea though.

>>22887375
Why? How is it different from using drain cleaner on it?

>>22887386
Literal poison designed to kill stuff vs. stuff literally designed to go down a drain?

>>22887388
Drain cleaner is also deadly lol. Plus the insect stuff is more focused on insects. Could have used anything desu and let water flow for 30 min to make sure there is no residue or smell.
