Snakes Invade Ceiling of Family's Rental House, Landlord Allegedly Says It's Not His Problem On 5/27/21 at 5:30 PM EDT Of all the pests that can plague one's home, snakes, with their silent, slithering presence, might be the worst. One Georgia family is learning this lesson the hard way, ever since realizing that several snakes had made their home in the ceiling of their rental house. According to WTVC Chattanooga, Hary Pugliese, his wife Susan, and their teenage daughter moved into the LaFayette, Georgia, house in January. The ceiling serpents, which were discovered Monday, have only served to fuel the long-standing tensions between the Puglieses and their landlord, John Stafford.
