The intrusion of these reptiles has left Hall in a state of constant fear and anxiety. She now dreads opening boxes, fearing the presence of snakes hiding among her belongings. Determined to resolve the situation, Hall enlisted the help of a professional snake wrangler who specializes in humane snake removal. So far, no harm has come to any of the snakes, but their presence continues to haunt her.

Hall’s ordeal has come at a considerable financial cost, as she has already spent approximately $1,000 on snake removal services. However, her quest for peace of mind may require more drastic measures, such as tearing up concrete to locate the snake den. Until the situation is fully resolved, Hall’s dream of enjoying her new home remains elusive.

To prevent such situations, Sheftel recommended sealing foundation cracks and other vulnerable areas to deter snakes from seeking shelter. He also emphasized the importance of pest inspections during the home-buying process, which many companies offer free of charge.

While home inspections typically focus on mechanical and structural aspects, it may be prudent to consider pest inspections to ensure a dwelling free from unexpected reptilian roommates.
