Day or night the cicadas will be everywhere, all the time. No way I can keep 6 dogs in the house for 6 weeks so I'll just try to keep them lubricated (the dogs, not the cicadas ) and will try to let them out to do their business but not for hours a day the way they are used to. Unfortunately the 5 cats like to go in/out as well and they obviously have smaller digestive systems. Oh yes indeed, we are in for a lovely 6 weeks here in the Mid-Atlantic
