Cicadas!!! What should I do?!?! They're back. I'm scared that they'll get bad around here and I'm horrible with bugs. How should I take Rosie out? I really don't know what to do. I can't stand bugs, especially these. Here is an article about them Cicadas invade East Tennessee I'm seriously stressing about this. Last time we had them I didn't have Rosie. I literally would run into my house and in my car. This is gonna be a long month. |
Oh no poor you.I hate bugs too... shoes for the dog maybe... But I understand I would be stress too... good luck :( |
I have never heard of this bug before. I hate anyplace this is infected with bugs.. would they harm your baby.. the story does not say much about them... anne |
I don't think they're harmful. They can't fly and run into ppl. They say the sidewalks get completely covered with them to the point that you can't walk outside wo stepping on them. Let's just say I can even vacuum bugs, especially bugs this size. Aaaaahhhhh...what am i gonna do? |
My mom used to say..."It might not hurt me but it could cause me to hurt myself" and I totally inderstand that. I have hurt myself trying to get away from a bug or get one off of me...especially spiders. When I was a child, I was afraid of no bug, no lizard, no snake. In fact, we used to take the 'shells' that these cicadas shed...you could squeeze the top of the back and the legs would open up. You could then put it on your nose, stop squeezing and it would sorta clamp lightly to your nose. Then you popped up in someone's face like that and it sure scared the heck out of the ladies!:p These days....I can't stand the thought of a bug on me. :eek::eek: My granddaughter catches those big moths and takes them around the house somewhere else so her G'ma won't be scared. Sweet! I don't know of any advice I could give you to help you cope with these things. Maybe buy a beekeeper suit. And a mini one for your baby. (JK) LOL Actually, my heart goes out to you. I know how distressed you must be. I would be too!!:D |
Aren't Cicadas the bugs that only show up every 15 or so yrs. and sit in trees and sing? I think they are fascinating! Always have since I was a child. I remember our kitties eating them if they could catch one. They sing in the evening. Miss them when they aren't around. Sorry that they scare you. |
I remember how stressed out you are about bugs, I wish I had some advise but have no idea what to tell you. I'll just pray they leave quickly:) |

There is nothing I can do except find a way to deal with it:( I hope it doesnt get bad around here. Some places get so bad that they can't walk outside wo stepping on them:eek: |

The good news is that I remember someone posted a looooong time ago that her yorkie LOVED eating them :eek:, and that they are very nutritious for them to eat. Think of it as a crispy snack.:p Maybe she can get rid of all of them for you. (seriously, I would just DIE...die I say! I hate bugs! eewwww!) |

I really would freakin' DIE. :eek::eek::dogzzz: |
We get them in MD for anywhere 6-8 weeks every 17 years! My first time with them I had really long hair and one got caught up in my hair when I was trying to pump gas. :eek::eek: I freaked out and was wailing around trying to get it out! I know the attendants were laughing at me inside! This 2nd time (about 3 years ago) it wasn't so bad where I live. They aren't prone to sandy soils-Thank Goodness! Also, don't let your dog eat them, it is not good for animals, dogs and cats. |
Oh, those things look terrifying :eek: Good luck, I hope they don't stay long! |
