Help!!! Anyone living in Illinois with these Cicadas??? |
Travel Info OK, I live in Oak Forest and we have millions of these things. I opened my pool on Mothers Day weekend and since these devil bugs arrived, I cannot even walk outside. I have not been able to water my flowers, grill or swim. I have to wear a sheet just to get out of the car. If you could hear outside right now you would not believe the noise level. I know they don't hurt so please don't tell me that. I know its an unreasonable fear but I can't shake it. When the hell are they leaving????? Travel Tips Oh I am so sorry! I live in the NW Suburbs and we haven't gotten a single one, THANKFULLY. I'd be just as terrified of them as you are. They are creepy gross little things. Eek. I really feel for you! When they came around 17 years ago, we never got them back then either (I was in the NW burbs then too). Maybe you need to move before the next wave! They live for just over a month, so they are expected to be gone by the 4th of July. That's too long if you ask me, especially since you have so many. While you're stuck in the house, try this game - it's called "Swat the Cicada" :) http://wgntv.trb.com/features/bal-cicada... Others "They should be gone by July," according to the Chicago Tribune. I'm in Westmont, and I hear them too. http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/... Don't worry, they'll be gone soon. Depending on how many weeks ago they actually started popping up it'll probably just be another two weeks or so. They only live a month and then you just have to deal with all the dead cicada bodies. You could shovel them up and sprinkle them over your garden, they'll make a nice fertilizer! Wont be long before they're gone. Around my house(park forest) the birds are eating them. Maybe you can get some birds. muhuhaha the cicadas dont bite or get on you or anything they are just there because they like it... and plus they only come once every 17 years I live in Chicago and we do not have them. Well.......we don't have them in our neighborhood. I have not seen one yet. |
