Short while after I moved into new home 16 yrs ago was woken in night with alarm chirruping. I was alone as my husband was in UK. Had to get ladders & change battery,--- back to bed & a few minutes later chirruping started again. Tried again with another battery but noise still continued, driving me mad!
Next night same thing! Had not gone off during day though. Decided to track the noise carefully: turns out to be a cricket in the wall behind the mirror in the bathroom.
Sticky trap under corner of cabinet where there was a gap solved the problem. 1 cricket in bin , peaceful sleep resumed.
