Many of Pennsylvania's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found
that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably,
these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire
hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Pennsylvania's
wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.
We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:
We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Beaver county animal services for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses, pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Beaver animal control for wildlife issues.

Venomous Snakes of California
A lot of tourists want to explore California. It's not surprising. California has a lot of wonders where one could hike and visit. A tourist can be amazed at the wonders of Mother Nature's creations in California. If you are one of those tourists, you can visit Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Forest, Joshua Tree National Park and a lot more destinations. However, there are times when travelers like you should be wary of hazards when traveling. Snakes can be one of those hazards. This article is a guide on California's venomous snakes. If you have the knowledge of what they look like, you will be able to get away from them without being bitten.
Here are some of the things that you need to note to be able to identify if a snake is poisonous or not: its color, size, pattern, texture, shape, geographical location, and habitat. Remember that a snake can change its color when it is moving fast.
There are several snake categories. They sometimes have a striped appearance. They can also be patternless, banded, or have patterned blotches. Among the snakes in California, the dangerous species include the sea snake and the rattlesnake. The rattlesnake has spotted large scales with rattles found in the tail.
Rattlesnakes in California
1. Western Rattlesnake is one of the venomous pit vipers in California. The color ranges from dark brown, olive brown, salmon, straw-yellow, cream, and gray. This snake is easily identified because of its large dorsal blotches. Near its tail, the dorsal pattern becomes moderately lighter and become bands around the tail area. The rattle at the tail forms when the snake shed its skin. When vibration occurs around the tail, a buzzing rattle sound is produced. The adults can grow from 3 feet up to 5 feet. The species is called Crotalus oreganus.
2. The Western Diamondback can be found altitudes 0-7000 feet. This snake is highly venomous. The color ranges from pale pink, pink brown, brick red or chalky white. The snake has a distinctive diamond shape near the tail. It is the most dangerous snake in California since it can be aggressive when it feels threatened.
3. Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake or Crotalus mitchellii stephensi can be found in rivers. It is also called panamint rattlesnake and is part of the viper family. The color can depend on the snake's habitat. They can be gray, brown, red-brown blotched or tan.
4. The horned rattlesnake or Crotalus ceraster have keeled scales. This refers to snake skins that are rough to the touch, and are ridged down the center. The color can be yellowish, brown, or ash gray. The color varies with the temperature. They have a distinctive horn above their eyes. This is to keep sand away from as they commonly bury their head in the sand. They have a sidewinding style of crawling which leaves a J-shaped trail.
5. Crotalus Scutulatus or Mojave Rattlesnake has the world's most potent venom. The average size of this rattlesnake is about 100cm. The color can range from brown to pale green. The snake has enlarged scales and can be found near scrub brushes such as creosote and mesquite.
