Talk about a nightmare!
The Trost family bought a beautiful home in Missouri back in October 2007, but it turned out to be a total nightmare!
They found out quickly that the house was infested by 4,500 to 6,000 brown recluse spiders! And that was considered a conservative estimate because it was taken in the less active winter months.
Creepy!
It got so bad that spiders were coming out of the walls, and one even fell out of the ceiling onto Mrs. Troust while she was showering!
Since then, the Trousts sued the previous owners for not disclosing the infestation, along with other things that were wrong with the home, and they won a $472,110 settlement, which wasn’t collected.

So, as of two years ago, the family was forced out of the home after weekly pesticide treatments failed to work and the house fell into foreclosure.
Now, since it’s going up for sale again, another pest control company is coming in to tent the place and kill any spiders and eggs still left inside with 200 pounds of -67 degree sulfuryl fluoride gas!
We’re curious why the Trousts didn’t go that route before just leaving their Whitmoor Country Club home, but maybe the other damage was too extensive to consider it.
No other neighbors in the area have reported issues with spiders, so hopefully whatever is going on finally gets fixed!
