π Just another glamorous day in pest controlβ¦ π±π€£
People think pest control is all spraying a few bugs and checking for termitesβ¦ but sometimes the job comes with a little SURPRISE! π
Lincoln opened a termite monitoring station today expecting to find termites.
Instead, he came face-to-face with an Eastern Small-eyed Snake (Cryptophis nigrescens) β a dangerously venomous little visitor who had apparently decided our termite station made the perfect hiding spot. π¬
Thankfully, theyβre generally shy and nocturnalβ¦
Unfortunately, nobody told Lincoln that before he lifted the lid. π€£π€£
We wonβt say he screamedβ¦ but there may have been a small squeal, a sudden backwards movement and a heart rate that briefly entered Olympic territory. ππ¨β€οΈ
The snake was left well alone, Lincoln survived the encounter, and after his heart restarted, it was back to work!
π Termites? No worries.
πͺ³ Cockroaches? Easy.
π·οΈ Spiders? All good.
π Surprise venomous snake under the lid? NOT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION! π±π€£
Never a dull day at Pestlinc!
