SALISBURY, N.C., Sept. 13 (UPI) -- A North Carolina woman doing her dishes said the chore was interrupted by the discovery of a snake in her dishwasher.

The woman said she was doing the dishes at her Salisbury home when the snake slithered up the cabinet and into the dish rack.

Allen Eckman, owner of A-1 Wildlife Control, said indoor snake sightings are likely to increase as the temperature drops.

He said this year has already seen a particularly high number of snake-related calls.

"This year with the change in weather, we've had lots more calls," Eckman told WCNC-TV.

City workers in Morgantown, N.C., shared a photo earlier in the summer of a snake they discovered had electrocuted itself while eating a second snake inside an electrical box at a house slated for demolition.

Snakes also aren't the only animals to make unexpected appearances in unusual places -- a London man discovered a young fox hiding out on the top rack of his dishwasher in June.
