My wife has these in her allotment. They are munching her root

How does one get rid of them?

Are they really noisy? Heard something yesterday that sounded like a

The one my wife accidentally cut in half with a spade didn't say a word.

Years ago a mole cricket flew into my flat that was really noisy.
