    Try one of those ultrasonic devices there supposed to work really well if you still have an issue it might be time to bring in the heavier chemicals you can buy at your local hardware store or get a professional pest exterminator.

    They likely have infested the insulation/padding layers also....

    An actual exterminator will have a professional fogger setup, and they will throw a cover over the entire truck to fog from the outside in as well.
    Takes 2 days of fogging, then a full day to air out, then a professional cleaning to remove the chemicals.

    Here we go, night time has arrived and they're coming out of their lair. Good news is the dispatcher will have the truck professionally treated by an exterminator when I will be back at the yard.

    I discovered a similar thing once. But it wasn't reaches. It was honey bees. That was not a fun job.

    A Maryland couple who recently purchased a home in Annapolis are suing their real estate agent for $2 million after discovering the house is infested with snakes, WUSA-TV reported.
    "Once we found three and the size of them, of course your emotions are going crazy," homeowner Jody Brooks said. Jody and her husband Jeff have a 4-year-old son and a 9-month-old daughter.
    The Brooks purchased the home for $410,000 in December 2014, according to court documents. However, as the weather grew warmer, the family discovered the snake infestation.
    Now the Brooks are suing their real estate agent Barbara Van Horn of Champion Realty, Inc., and connected parties. The Brooks claim they knew about the problem, but did not disclose it.
    "You should let somebody know of every possible issue when you buy the house," Jeff Brooks said.
    Home Paramount, a local pest company, inspected the home at the Brooks' request. They discovered "highways" or the tracks the snakes used to get around the house, according to the lawsuit. They also found feces on the walls and more snake skins.
    The Brooks have moved out of the home, saying their memories of the place are too upsetting to return.
    "I couldn't come back here," Jeff Brooks said.
    Even if they cleaned-out the home, there's no guarantee the snakes will not come back, according to the couple's attorney.
