Well, since aforementioned 1Tb drive holds elder son's collection of modern music (Boom! Boom! Boom!) I was sorely tempted to try the magnet and bucket of ice cold water approach ... But the vacuum cleaner idea did flush quite a few of the little b*ggers out. They don't actually seem to mind the heat of the unit when operational - maybe this is the same syndrome as frogs being quite happy in a bowl of water that is bought to the boil?
Quite a few of them did decamp (complete with eggs) to a sealed speaker unit - and others to an audio switch box.
But as far as I'm concerned, I've signed off on the original problem, and I'm not opening any new job tickets.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
