i have to get on a chair with acetone to try and remove the glue residue on the ceiling
from the tape they used to cover the hard-wired smoke detectors with foam noodle bowls
bowls long gone by the time i come round
but it's true they go off with a hell of a racket
with the slightest hint of smoke
Wow I thought we are only ones. Our tenant did same thing!

so look for 10 year, lithium, batteries on the expensive ones
I see cavius do good deals at the home shows plus they are small but very load (and 10yrs battery)

As I plan to install security alarms to my rentals anyway, I'm going to add few of these fire alarms as well - costs me nothing (around US$ 10 per sensor, plus few extra meters of 4-core security alarm wire, which is cheap).
