Re: Seein' things...
All last night I was plagued by the dang cricking of crickets. Checking under my bed, I found none. I was wondering if crickets can be heard cricking through the house walls?
Because this one kept me awake most all night.

Re: Seein' things...
Yes, they do that. Here in the South they can be really loud--and close! I have had them just outside my window (where they belong) and still drive me nuts all night--I find myself laying there counting the chirps in cycles--and popping awake from a doze when they miss a cycle. Argh!
I had one in my car for a while (couldn't find him to save myself) and it about drove me nuts.
But, in any event, their life span isn't very long and they soon 'go away' (die off). Just hang in there when one annoys you--it won't be there for long.

Re: Seein' things...
They can get in places you can't see, too - check inside the bedspring.

I did, indeed, do that, Lee...and just while ago too, for which I used my flashlight.
But when I got up this morning, I tore my sheets off the bed, put them in my washer to wash, and while they were being cleaned. I moved my bed completely off the spot where it sits, and vacuumed thoroughly all around the room...and then I scooted my bed back in place, while the sheets were going through the drying cycle. I saw no cricket in sight. Thank goodness!!!
Then I vacuumed the area around my computer. Tomorrow, it's my den-kitchen area that includes my new closet, and Friday...my sunken livingroom.

Re: Seein' things...
We did, boy. It more or less came to us, so I killed it with my frog-shaped fly-swatter, and dumped it's body into the toilet bowl & flushed it down.

Absolutely, Graham. For further information about how I managed to find that pesky cricket to kill it...check out the "Spirits/Ghost" thread under our Reincarnation forum. There, you will find out who helped root it out for me.

Yes, indeedy! Infact, we had a "very" good peaceful & restful nights sleep last night, after we killed that pesky cricket. Whew!!!
They can certainly keep you up at night, robbing you a your much needed sleep, that's for sure. Can't they?
And to think, I have my better half to thank too.
