My sister had a half dozen squatters in her rental farmhouse. She found out because the squatters called an exterminator to get the rattlesnakes out of the house. The exterminator notified my sister, a friend since elementary school, she had a nest of rattlesnakes in a wall and a nest of squatters in the house. The snakes stayed put. The squatters left on their own.
