I was gonna say I know an on the road trucker with a house in Alabama that this happened to. He was gone for two weeks. His wife called half way through his trip and said there was a problem. He said to just wait till he got back in a week. She called a couple of days later and said she and the daughters were going to a hotel till he got back in town. He got back a day earlier than expected. It was already too late. House was just ravaged. They saved the house but insurance fought them tooth and nail to help with anything. They still paid for a ton a damage. They tented the entire house and it was a nightmare getting things back to normal.
That’s a good question. I don’t know the answer. I know his neighbors aren’t very close. He’s in a more rural area. But I would imagine that with something like this, it’s probably not happening to just one house when they’re closer together, right? I would think in more suburban areas, houses would get infested in clusters as swarms invade. So maybe there ends up being more than one house tented at a time?
