The next time you come across a daunting infestation, just remember, it could be worse. Actually, it could probably be so much worse.
And thanks to a recent article from realtor.com, there is nifty list of some of the worst pest infestations to prove it.
1. Bats: the harmless, noisy roommates
One family in Miami had to deal with some very noisy free-loaders. Luckily for this family, the hundreds of bats never actually entered the home, they just made a lot of noise.

2. Don’t mess with this spider momma
Not that looking at your electricity meter is ever a pleasant sight, but this goes above and beyond that.
3. Snake water
Why did it have to be snakes? That’s what Ben Sessions surely thought after purchasing and living in his Idaho, snake-infested home. Apparently, at night the snakes could be heard slithering in the walls, and Sessions even told the Associated Press the tap water tasted like snakes. Here’s the kicker though, The Sessions family signed off on a disclosure from the previous owners stating that the house had snakes. So with no legal options, the family abandoned the house.

For four years, one Missouri family battled spiders coming out of, well, just about everywhere in their house. An expert estimated 4,000 to 5,000 brown recluses were crawling in and out of the home. State Farm denied their insurance claim, but a judge eventually forced the company to fork over $472,000.
6. Roaches
You know how it goes: if you’ve seen one cockroach, you probably haven’t seen them all. Well, I don’t really want to think about how many we can’t see in this next clip.

7. Yes sir, you have bed bugs
Thanks to the guys of Town & Country Pest Solutions for this next clip. According to them, the man who lived in this Syracuse, NY apartment claimed he never saw even one bed bug. Town & Country Pest Solutions did a full inspection on the building for bed bugs and happened to find this overwhelming collection. Don’t worry, they were able to treat the problem and the bed bugs never returned.
