Speaking of smoke alarms...

I replaced the battery in my smoke alarm because it was "chirping." I then pushed the reset button and everything seemed cool. About 4 hours later it began chirping again so I put in a new battery. Again, after 4 or 5 hours it began chirping again.

Does anyone know what may be causing this or how to reset it for good?

I agree with MrPerditus' suggestion of damp or dirt on the sensor. Smoke alarms have even been known to be triggered by spiders or their webs.
