About Snakes in Pennsylvania

The majority of snakes in Pennsylvania are harmless and non-venomous. However, it’s important to exercise caution if you encounter an unfamiliar snake, as the state is home to a few venomous species. Most snake bites happen when people attempt to handle or capture them. Our team uses specialized equipment to safely remove snakes from both inside and outside homes.
