This device may work, however I'm not sure that you would be able to remain in the house at the same time:

"Like other Jones recordings "O Holy Night" and "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind", the new version is a duet between present-day Jones and his younger self."

How on earth does he manage that!?

Just confirms what I'd always suspected; that Aled is indeed in league with The Dark Lord.

Your suspicions would have been verified earlier, if you had taken a vinyl version of "walking in the air" and then played it backwards.

They seem to get into the roof, up drain pipes and sometime randomly run around the house !

I have searched on the net but cannot find anything, is there any type of sonic device that will keep them away. I have a spray but that only helps if you can find the little buggers

All night long they cherp away its driving me nuts ! help !
Aint it funny how one mans heaven is another mans hell. I have suffered with tinitus for years and I find the night time insect noise to be the best natural 'mask' ever!

Living somewhere other than Queensland generally helps....

Move to a beach holiday destination and you get all the noisy creepy crawlies that come with beach holiday destinations.

Cicadas are the noisiest things and if you stamp they stop but there are so many of them in summer its very difficult and you just have to get used to it.
