We had them here in Ohio about 5 years ago....they were horrible!! My house wasnt too bad with them. I only went in the front of the house because the back yard was worse. It was like we were under attack by alien bugs that summer. I was on my way to work one day, my husband was driving me and some dumb kid threw his bike in front of our truck and we hit it. We had to get out of the truck when the police came and it was so horrible I was running in circles until I got back in the truck and I remembered I had cracked the window and I seen one trying to crawl in and I rolled it up really quick and crushed it....eeewwww I hate them things...In some areas they werent bad but areas with lots of trees is where its horrible...they like swarm together, they kept getting in my hair...I wore my hair up the whole time so they wouldnt get stuck in it. Good luck with them....I think when they come back here again I'm moving until they are gone....I actually bought a shirt that says I survived the Cicada's in 2003. They are the most disgusting bugs in history....and my old dog used to eat them and it made her tummy upset....so dont let your dog eat them. If they came back now....I would stock up on pee pads cuz i wouldnt be walking my baby in that but thats how bad I hate them. good luck!! |
