Bargain Home – Not!

This sounds like a real steal! A five-bedroom home near Rexburg, Idaho, was listed earlier this year for only $109,200—that’s about $66,000 below its market value. And no mice!

The problem is, it’s infested with thousands of garter snakes. The home was apparently built on a snake den, and the snakes, and their progeny, return each fall to reproduce and wait out the winter. They slither under the house, in the walls, inside the house, around the outside, and even in the ceiling. And they give off a bad odor. Two families so far have fled the house. The bank has foreclosed twice and is looking for new buyers. How about you?
