1. Earplugs.

2. Psychotherapy of some kind. Crickets make lovely noises!

Sorry, I was tired when I wrote originally, of course I am not against
getting rid of them, while I enjoy their sounds it's just that they have
chosen to chirp right under our bedroom window which is a problem when I
work shift work. Apologies to all if I offended :-)

sorry michael,

no offence taken can understand your problem maybe a good pair of
comfy ear plugs? with the onset of winter their chirping should cease
for the time.

just at times in modern lifestyles nature takes a very far back seat.

If you can tolerate them for just a few more weeks they'll disappear of
their own accord because ..... brilliant line coming up .....

..... it will soon be the end of the cricket season!

In that case, I think the red wine *followed by* earplugs may be your best bet!

I suspect you'll find the sound of crickets is like living under the flight
path -- you do get used to the sound and it doesn't disturb you.

yeh chookie,

like the sound of male cane toads to me mate especially in the wee
hours hate the damn things i reckon the dpi/csiro scientist who let
this plauge loose should be dragged though a scotch thistle field hey,
backwards with no nickers on.

in the burbs i've been know to get out of bed at say 2 am and go walk
a few hundred meters just to get one of them blighters.

but crickets na frogs are sleep material.
