Very excited to have the bird nest removed from my vent and cleaned. J came out and quoted me on the project. He was super friendly and is a Spartan fan which is a plus! He was very detailed with what would happen with the appointment. He took the time to answer my questions. Great customer service!
Response from the owner:Hi, Jennifer. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
We had J from Titan Pest Control out today to treat our multi unit commercial property.
He was prompt and extremely informative answering all of our questions! We discussed many different programs they offer and had him do the first treatment today!
I definitely recommend contacting Titan for all of your pest and wildlife needs. ✌️💜🧜♀️
Response from the owner:Hi, Peace. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Weโve been using this service for over a year now, and I can honestly say I have nothing but great things to say about both the people and the service. When we first started, we had a friendly guy named Ken who handled our treatments. He was amazing and always took the time to make my son laugh while working outside. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, and we now have John, who has been just as fantastic. My kids have the best time with him!
I couldnโt recommend this company more. Not only do they do a great job keeping our home safe from insects, but they also treat my children like their own. Keep up the excellent work, guys!
Response from the owner:Hi, Michelle. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
I've had a very personal and professional experience with Titan and Brandyn in particular! Always felt as if I was a priority and the communication and timely responses have been unmatched! I've even moved houses and that has been made a breeze with Titan.
Response from the owner:Hi, Ross. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
I wanted to complement Jay at Titan for his professionalism. He came to my house and was quite patient in explaining various options that I had for addressing a snake issue with my home. I grilled him about everything and had follow up questions the next day as I compared Titan with another company. Ultimately, it was the value of the services package that won me over.
When I called to schedule for my first appointment, it was good to encounter a pleasant and customer service-focused representative. The professionalism and customer service I experienced with Titan should be the norm for companies today. Customer service as a whole has gone out of the window. It was refreshing to deal with a company that still upholds it.

I had Jordan come out to handle our mice issue. This was my 2nd opinion on the matter and Jordan and TItan Pest were the far superior option. Their original diagnosis uncovered much more than the large chain pest control entity. Jordan was friendly, personable, knowledgeable and great communicator. He took care of us and our home.

I recently had a few unwanted visitors make home in my attic. Nathan came out same day and provided a solution to evict our unwelcome guest! Once he started work I knew we chose a great company. Everyone is professional and is determined to offer amazing customer service. Nathan ran me through what was being done and was very knowledgeable. Our attic is now free of unwanted squirrels and Titan made sure to patch up any entry points and left our house looking better than when they arrived. Highly recommend this company for their attention to detail, knowledge, and professionalism.

Response from the owner:Hi, Anthony. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
I hope you never have to call them! Howeverโฆ if you ever need a bat eviction service in St. Louis, you should absolutely call Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions ! Unfortunately we had bats in our chimney 😭

I am so grateful that they helped us with our uninvited residents and I can rest easy now 🤪 thank you so much!
Response from the owner:Hi, Brianna. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!

Response from the owner:Hi, Terry. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
awesome service! very attentive. utilized for both home + yard treatments. due to a trickier situation involving clay roof tiles, brandyn, the owner, came out with roof specialists to evaluate + problem solve, taking into consideration costs, timeline + the season. their humane trapping measures also were of great importance.
Response from the owner:Hi, Chris. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!

Response from the owner:Hi, Gary. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Cristian came out for the first treatment a bit ago with another employee (showing him the ropes) and was extremely friendly and helpful! He was thorough with the work and let me know the steps in the process as he was completing my first pest treatment. I had a couple of additional areas I wanted treatment and he took care of them right away. He even explained how to look out for termites in the future to me and showed me how to identify them among other wood-bearing insects versus a type of ant. I have full confidence in this company and their pricing for the time they spend is much more reasonable than the competitors (I had multiple quotes).
Response from the owner:Hi, Laelle. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Best in the Biz! Ken is a fab technician & I havenโt seen a single 6- or 8-legged friend since theyโve serviced my home over the years. Three thumbs up!
Response from the owner:Hi, Stacy. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!

Response from the owner:Hi, Jessica. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Highly recommended, called titan pest to help me get rid of the cave crickets in my basement, when Cameron came over he was very friendly, and very professional, solved the problem i would definitely use them again in the future
Response from the owner:Hi, Billy. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Called early in morning and got an answer. They were out here in less than 30 minutes later to relocate Racoon that had been getting into my coop. Even got a snip of the gps where it was relocated.
I was having a recurring ant infestation around my windows. No matter what I tried they kept coming back. After Titan came by, no more ants. They were very professional and on time. Took care of the bugs with great service.
Everyone I've interacted with has been great, and the price is good, too. The mice that had moved in have been evicted, and I haven't had any issues since. The guys that come out to my house have been quick and non-intrusive while I work from home as well. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Hi, Logan. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
They done a good job explaining everything they would do for the termite problem we had and done a good job on the follow up. The technician we had was very professional and answered all our questions.
Response from the owner:Hi, Glenn. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
These guys are awesome!! We had a few mice in our house we bought (it was built in the 50s). They quickly came out, found the access points, and sealed those points of entry. Very reasonably priced and the gentlemen who came out were great! 10/10 recommend.
Response from the owner:Hi, Kaitie. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
I was so impressed with the responsiveness I experienced using Titan. Everyone was so friendly and professional from my initial consult down to the numerous panicked phone calls I made during the catch period. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and if necessary, I would definitely use them again. Who knew raccoons could create such damage?
Response from the owner:Hi, Sharon. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
My appointment period was estimated to be between 1&4. Unlike most businesses that give you a range, he showed up at 130 after a quick call. He answered all my questions, gave me several options to pick from and a firm estimate. I agreed to get it done asap and he had the equipment available to do it right then. The whole appointment took about 1 1/2 hrs and he was done. The estimate was better than most otherโs that Iโve gotten. Very happy with the experience.
Response from the owner:Hi, Justine. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
AJ and David hung our Christmas lights on the front of our house and did a great job. They were very friendly and professional. I highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Hi, Sandy. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Why Clean Gutters Are Essential for Pest Prevention
Your homeโs gutters are crucial in directing water away from your roof, foundation, and walls. When gutters become clogged with leaves, twigs, and other debris during the fall, this vital drainage system is disrupted, leading to standing water and moisture buildupโideal conditions for pests to thrive. Hereโs how clogged gutters contribute to pest infestations:
Standing Water Attracts Insects
Standing water is a breeding ground for insects, especially mosquitoes. These pests lay their eggs in stagnant water, which can quickly lead to an infestation around your home. Even small amounts of water trapped in clogged gutters are enough to attract and sustain mosquito populations.
Other water-loving insects, such as gnats, flies, and midges, are also drawn to the moisture in clogged gutters. Once these insects establish a presence near your home, they may find their way indoors, becoming a nuisance for you and your family.
Debris Provides Shelter for Pests
Leaves, twigs, and organic debris in gutters provide a cozy shelter for various pests. Rodents like mice and rats can use clogged gutters to enter your attic or walls. Birds may also build nests in debris-filled gutters, bringing parasites like mites and fleas.
Insects like cockroaches and ants are attracted to the organic matter in clogged gutters as a food source, making your gutters an ideal habitat. From there, itโs only a short journey into your home, where these pests can cause further problems.
Moisture Weakens Your Homeโs Structure
Clogged gutters prevent rainwater from draining properly, leading to water overflow that can seep into your homeโs foundation, walls, or roof. Excess moisture weakens wood, creating soft spots and rot that are highly attractive to termites and carpenter ants. These pests thrive in damp environments and can cause significant structural damage if left unchecked.
Termites, in particular, are a serious concern, as they can remain hidden for long periods while quietly chewing through the wooden structures of your home. The moisture from clogged gutters creates the perfect conditions for a termite infestation to take hold.
Why Fall is the Ideal Time for Gutter Maintenance
While gutter cleaning is important year-round, fall is the most critical time to ensure debris-free gutters. The combination of falling leaves, cooler temperatures, and increased rainfall creates the perfect storm for clogged gutters and pest issues. Hereโs why you should prioritize professional gutter cleaning in the fall:
Leaf Buildup Reaches Its Peak:
Fall is when leaves fall in abundance, especially in tree-dense areas. If your gutters arenโt cleaned out regularly during the season, the buildup of leaves can quickly block water flow. As the season progresses, more leaves and twigs accumulate, leading to severe blockages. By scheduling a professional gutter cleaning in the fall, you can prevent leaves from clogging your gutters and ensure proper water drainage as winter approaches.
Prepare for Winter Weather:
Winter brings its own set of challenges, especially with snow and ice. If your gutters are clogged during the fall, they wonโt be able to handle the melting snow and ice during the winter. This can lead to ice dams, which are thick ice ridges forming along the roof’s edge. Ice dams not only cause water to back up into your home but also add weight to your gutters, potentially causing them to sag or pull away from the roof.
By addressing gutter maintenance in the fall, you can protect your home from the added strain of winter weather and reduce the risk of costly repairs later on.
Reduce Pest Activity Before Winter:
Pests like rodents, squirrels, and birds become more active in the fall as they seek warmth and shelter for the winter. They often use clogged gutters as entry points into your home. If you wait until winter to clean your gutters, you may already have pests nesting in them or, worse, inside your attic or walls.
Professional gutter cleaning in the fall eliminates the shelter and access points pests rely on, making it harder for them to enter your home as temperatures drop.
How Professional Gutter Cleaning Prevents Pest Infestations
While some homeowners may consider cleaning their gutters, professional gutter cleaning services offer several advantages beyond removing debris. Hereโs how hiring Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions for your gutter maintenance can protect your home:
Thorough Removal of Debris:
Professional gutter cleaners have the right tools and experience to remove all types of debris, including leaves, twigs, dirt, and organic matter that can accumulate over time. A DIY gutter cleaning may miss smaller particles or hard-to-reach areas, leaving enough debris for pests to thrive.
With Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions, you can trust that your gutters will be thoroughly cleaned and cleared of anything that could attract pests.
Inspection for Damage or Weaknesses:
During a professional gutter cleaning, our technicians remove debris and inspect your gutters for signs of damage, sagging, or improper alignment. Damaged gutters can lead to water leaks that attract termites and carpenter ants.
We help you maintain a strong, pest-resistant home by catching and repairing gutter issues early.
Identifying Potential Pest Entry Points:
A professional gutter cleaning service includes inspecting potential entry points around your roof and gutters. Our team can identify gaps, cracks, or areas where pests are likely to enter and make recommendations for sealing these areas to keep pests out.
Sealing entry points is crucial, especially in fall, as pests become more aggressive in their search for shelter before winter.
Prevention of Water Damage and Moisture Issues:
Properly cleaned and maintained gutters can direct water away from your homeโs foundation, walls, and roof. This reduces the risk of moisture buildup that attracts pests like termites and ants.
Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions helps prevent moisture-related issues that lead to pest infestations by ensuring that water flows freely away from your home.
Additional Services Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions Offers in Fall
Fall is the ideal time to take preventive measures against pests, and gutter cleaning is just one part of a comprehensive fall maintenance plan. Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions offers a range of services to help protect your home during the fall season:
Professional Inspections: Our team can conduct a full pest inspection to identify current infestations or vulnerabilities in your home. We offer tailored solutions based on the specific needs of Missouri homes.

Wildlife Control: Fall is a busy time for wildlife seeking shelter. Our humane wildlife control services ensure that animals like raccoons, squirrels, and birds are safely removed and excluded from your home.
Protect Your Home This Fall with Professional Gutter Cleaning
Fall gutter maintenance is about more than just preventing water damageโit’s a critical step in keeping pests out of your home. Ensuring that your gutters are clean and functioning properly removes the moisture and debris that attract pests and creates an inhospitable environment for infestations.
Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions offers professional gutter cleaning services that clear out debris and comprehensively inspect your homeโs exterior. Our experienced team helps safeguard your home from pests, ensuring youโre prepared for whatever fall and winter have in store.
