No flying monkeys in the forecast, but next year Washington, DC, and a large surrounding area will see the return of the seventeen year cicadas and their cacophony that sounds like a bad 50's era sci-fi movie.

They can be so thick on the ground that it is difficult to avoid stepping on them in neighborhoods where the grounds have not been disturbed in seventeen years.

Local renovation projects that involve turning up the soil close to one's home will diminish the local cicada population.

If that's not enough, then it could drive someone out of their house and motivate them head elsewhere they live in temporary quarters.
