If you have a problem with wildlife in your Uniontown home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Pennsylvania wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Pennsylvania and Uniontown, and I recommend the following:

Vermin Control
Cell Phone: 724-892-6048

NOTE: If you have a dog or cat problem, call Fayette County Animal Services: 724-438-3121

Vermin Control specializes primarily in removing animals from attics of homes and buildings - this includes squirrels in attics, raccoons, and rats or mice in homes. Pennsylvania also has a documented problem with bats in buildings, and Vermin Control is specially trained in bat removal. They also perform general wildlife trapping services, such as the capture and removal of skunks or opossums on the property. Call 724-892-6048 to discuss your critter problem and schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. Click here to learn more about what prices we charge in 2026.

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

• Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
• Fully Pennsylvania and Fayette County licensed and insured
• Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
• Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
• Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
• Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste



Vermin Control is a full-service Uniontown wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Uniontown pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Vermin Control performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Uniontown wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Pennsylvania to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Pennsylvania law. We offer Uniontown raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Vermin Control. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Uniontown squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Uniontown exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Uniontown rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Pennsylvania is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Uniontown pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Uniontown bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Uniontown trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Uniontown wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Vermin Control does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Vermin Control. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Vermin Control also provides dead animal removal in Uniontown. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Uniontown snake removal - most of the snakes in Pennsylvania are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Uniontown. And remember, we are a private business, not Fayette County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 724-438-3121. Fayette County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Uniontown Wildlife Tip #1:


How Do Squirrels Mate?


Squirrels are found in various parts of the globe especially in North America. For a female squirrel, it will only take them around 10-12 months to reach full sexual maturity. At this time, they will be emitting scent and produce vocal sounds that will attract the male squirrels. The male will then abandon their regular activity to look for a receptive female. It is quite normal for them to have a communal mating ground. It gives the less-dominant animal a chance to mate with the other female squirrels since the alpha male will not be able to handle all the females in the area.

What Are the Squirrel's Mating Habit?

In the communal mating ground, the male will fight for dominance. The fight will not simply be determined by the strength and size of the animal; maturity will also have to be considered. The older male squirrel will usually emerge victorious in the battle. After the fight has been settled, the female raccoon will know which male is the most illegible bachelor. The female squirrel will be mating with different male squirrels several times that may last for 2 days- to a few weeks. The mating process will use for a couple of minutes and will end once the male squirrel injected the wax-like non-seminal substance. It will act like a seal that will prevent the sperm of other male squirrels who will mate with the female squirrel.

How Long is the Squirrel's Gestation Period?

Different species of squirrels will have varying gestation periods. Flying squirrels and tree squirrels will have a period of gestation that may last from 38 days up to 46 days. The smaller ones will have a shorter period and may not exceed 38 days. For the African and Tropical Squirrels, they will have an average of 65 days gestation period. For the ground squirrel, they may conceive at 29-31 days.

What is the Average Size of the Squirrel Litter?

The mother squirrel will give birth to 1-5 babies; however, there are some reports that the female squirrel can give birth to 9 baby squirrels per litter. The mother squirrel will deliver the baby to her nest that is usually found in the crevices of trees or at the branches of the trees. Some of them will also establish their nest inside the burrows or in our attic. A newborn squirrel will be furless and helpless. Their ear flaps will appear folded and their eyes are shut. They will completely depend on the mother squirrel for their survival during the past couple of months.

Before the mother squirrel takes over your attic, be sure to seal them to prevent the mother squirrel from building its nest inside your property. Once they made it inside, removing them can be a struggle. They will be very persistent in getting inside your house to return to their babies, which may lead to serious damages. Repairing these damages can be costly. Look for a wildlife specialist the moment you notice the signs of their presence.



Uniontown Wildlife Tip #2:


Pennsylvania Wildlife Information:

Pennsylvania State bird: Ruffed grouse
State mammal: White-tailed deer
tate insect: 7-spotted ladybug, Pennsylvania firefly
State fish: Brook trout

You can find a variety of landscapes in Pennsylvania, though the majority of the state is covered in forest. Pennsylvania has a fair amount of flat land and a fair amount of mountainous land. No matter where you go, you are bound to run into wildlife. Warm-loving animals will not be so inclined to live in this state, though the southern region has more mild temperatures than the mountainous north. Because of the slight temperature difference, snakes and amphibians are more populous in the south. Rattlesnakes, one of the venomous snakes in the state, are only found in the lower aspect of Pennsylvania. Smaller snakes, like the garter snake, make their home just about anywhere they can find.

Reptiles aren't the only critters that like Pennsylvania. The state has hundreds of sheltered ponds and lakes, and this promotes a healthy population of beavers, otters, and muskrats. Other semi-aquatic animals include the snapping turtle and the common water snake.

Of predators, Pennsylvania has only two large mammalian carnivores. The black bear and coyote are at the top of the food chain in this state, though there have been numerous sightings of mountain lions over the last decade. The state's Department of Fish and Game adamantly dismisses the rumors, and has been able to disprove most of the sightings. Still, many residents feel there is a breeding population of the large cats somewhere in the state. Black bear, though destructive when they find a bird feeder or an open garbage can, are not seen as commonly as coyotes. There has been a large increase in the coyote population; likely due to almost no predation and ample supply of white-tailed deer and other small game. Because of the abundance of wildlife, coyotes are usually only problematic if they are in an urban area. In this setting, the canines can become bold and dangerous, threatening house pets and small children.

Still, the most popular home invaders in Pennsylvania are of a much smaller size. Raccoons and squirrels are always on the hunt for an empty attic, and rats and mice will take any opportunity to sneak into a home. Woodchucks are just as common and irritating; the stout creatures quickly moving in under unprotected decks and patios.

If homeowners are really unlucky, they will forget to secure their pet door at night and will wake up to find a porcupine has entered the house looking for cat food.
