I've seen news stories about people finding snakes in their laundry rooms (not in The Villages, but in Florida and even up north).........under their beds, etc.

One never knows what could be transported into your home on a moving truck.

When we returned to Vermont back in 1995.......I ordered a new chair for next to the fireplace..........it had only been in the living room for a day when a huge tarantula type spider was spotted. They said it arrived during transport. Double yikes.

I think it came from Georgia.

Better safe than sorry.

Seriously? Total body shiver here.
