Where There’s Smoke There’s Snakes

When you have a problem with pests, it’s best to call a professional.

Slithering snakes with their beady eyes and flicking tongues. Nasty vile snakes piled up in the cellar. Writhing masses-okay I’m getting a little ahead of myself, but you get the picture. Now add a blazing inferno! This all seems like the storyline of a bad B-movie, but this true-to-life horror story unfolded on November 23 in the small town of Poolesville, Maryland. Unnervingly, an unassuming home just outside of Washington D.C. was infested with snakes.

Stay On The Furniture

A snowstorm leaves Denmark shoppers stranded in the most peculiarly beneficial place.
