As a treat

By Sleepdeprived - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - United States - Falmouth

Today, I bought some crickets as a treat for my lizard. One escaped and somehow got into the heating system in my room. The chirping is amplified and comes from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Goodbye, restful sleep. FML

at least if theres an awkward silence there will be proper sound effects

It will die soon and dry up quickly, don't worry. I absolutely despise crickets. if you want to treat your lizard get him hornworms or Phoenix Worms.

LOL..I remember those days. When I did bearded dragon rescue, I was ordering 1000s of them at a time online. Invariably there would be some escapees during the transfer from shipping box to holding tank. Only the adults chirp and the lifespan isn't long so you won't suffer too much longer. Just be glad it wasn't a superworm. Those are quiet, but turn into ugly beetles that give me the creeps.

If it doubled as a cooling system turn it down and make it cold. Crickets make less noise in the cold. ^^ but don't stress it too much. It'll die fast.

Turn on the heat! Summon the fire! KILL THE CRICKET!

aren't you used to the cricket noises by now of you've had your lizard? I've gotten so accustomed to the noise I can sleep no problem with it. just saying.
