Heather says her biggest fear is a snake slithering up the sewage system and biting her while she’s sitting on a toilet. While she’s yet to experience that specific situation, she did encounter a rat in her toilet a few years ago. This only amplified her terror. How common is it for any creature to make its way into your toilet bowl?

On this episode of Your Weirdest Fears, host Larry Mullins sits down with pest control expert Eddie Marco to find out. With over two decades of experience, and having dealt with a rat in his own toilet a few years back, Eddie explains why it happens, and what to do in the event that you find your toilet clogged with an unwanted guest.
