Dear entomologists, Faced with this problem-somewhere in the air conditioner, imagine a hole in the wall with a device embedded in it, a certain rattling and chattering creature started up incessantly. Activated in osovnoye at night.
They tried to drive him out with a vacuum cleaner, ritual dances with drums - it didn't help... wall.gif After tapping on the air conditioner, it goes silent for a while, and then again jump.gif
How it crawled is unclear-the fifth floor, there seem to be no trees. Maybe someone has experience in dealing with these issues.....Cicadas...... and then sleep very hot.... weep.gif

we don't sleep here because of them from spring to autumn! and if they only lived in air conditioning...

Yeah... Just suck (with a vacuum cleaner, I mean smile.gif) What kind of spray can I use? Just make sure that the aerosol does not go to the neighbors ' rooms....

Is there no way to remove the device and spray something into the hole?
By the way, you can turn on "Fumitox" at night - it should work.

most likely it's some kind of grasshopper, they also chirp strongly-green ones with long antennae.

Aerosol is best - I agree with the rest smile.gif
If you can't kick them out, put on headphones with cool music or enjoy the sounds of nature instead of suffering from them smile.gif

I suspect that it may be a cricket called a "trumpeter" - a small, flat creature. wink.gif For example, Oecanthus pellucens Scop.

I'll never forget how one of them crawled into the corner of my tent... It feels like being inside a drum during a rock concert. eek.gif

If there is an activation at night, then it's definitely not cicadas. Real cicadas are also diurnal insects. Their songs are punchable only in the heat of the chorus include, and when overcast silent, and at night cicadas no.gifsomething new

I wouldn't wear headphones, I tried a couple of times so in the morning I don't know why my ears hurt so much.

This is most likely a house cricket Acheta Domestica

I'm all for cricket, too.
And you, Pinocchio, oh excuse me, Peppers in what parts do you live?!
