We who do REOs never know what we're going to get into when we go through the front door. That is if there is a front door. Sometimes the doors are gone!
I learned many many years ago to be suspicious of what may jump on your legs as you step into the house. Fleas may be starving for a new pet to bite. One entry to a house was enough for me to learn a lesson. I looked down and little black things were all over my legs. So from then on I carried a white sheet of paper and put it down on the floor before I entered. If there are fleas they'll jump on the paper and you'll know not to enter!
I also learned that you'd better keep a can of OFF or some sort of spray for insects when outside. It is also very troubling to look down and see little tiny ticks crawling up your and your client's legs.
I think shrews/mice may be the only intrusive animal we have.
But I guess I am use to them :-)
