NEW YORK (WPIX) – Trillions of cicadas from two separate broods are expected to emerge from underground this spring in what some are calling a “cicada-geddon” (though some states are already seeing them). It will be the first time Broods XIX and XIII emerge simultaneously in more than 200 years.

With the exception of the shrill singing hurting your ears or an unfortunate spattering of urine, the cicadas shouldn't cause you much harm.

But what about your dog or cat, who may encounter a few cicadas while they're outside this........
