Great company with fantastic customer service, they solved all my pest issues and are really easy to work with
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 had an issue with the previous owner, but the new owner is very responsive!
They did a great job and guaranteed their work. Highly recommend.
Easy to work with and schedule, and great prices.
My wife & I love this company! Great customer service & affordable! Will definitely be referring our friends and family!
Titan is my go to for all my real estate clients. Very professional and easy to work with.
Great service and did the job right the first time. I’ll be calling them for my next service to keep my property free of pests. Thanks guys.
Fantastic company and great owners!
These guys were amazing. Quality work done efficiently. Will definitely be the people we call if we ever need to get rid of any more pests.
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!

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?

They did a good job installing my holiday lights
Response from the owner: Hi, Bibian. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
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 other’s that I’ve 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!
Very responsive and professional

Response from the owner: Hi, Sandy. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Hung Christmas lights, did a wonderful job!! So pleased with how it looks and these 2 young men were so professional and courteous, I expected I will call them for other things. Will definitely tell everyone who did this.
Response from the owner: Hi, Laura. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
This was my first time using Titan and they far exceeded my expectations! I contacted Titan as we discovered we had 2 very large, guinea pig looking animals in our garage. We had seen them go in and out of their hiding place and no clue what they were. I figured I would have to wait to get someone out, and they put me on the schedule the same day. David came out and looked around and talked about our wildlife/rodent problem....appears to be two pack rats. He explained in detail what he was going to do with the traps and all. Typically they leave and send you an estimate and, once approved, they come back to do all the work. I asked if he could go ahead and put the bait and traps out now, and I would sign and pay, or whatever was needed. as we were just anxious to get these rodents taken care of, due to the inconvenience and damage they have caused (including eating through my husbands turn signal wire on his car). He took the time to contact the office to see if he could do this, prepare the estimate for my signature, go over in detail the terms of the contract and warranty, and then I paid over the phone. Very easy. I was so appreciative of his willingness to try to get this done quickly for us, even though it isn't their usual policy. He then set everything out and told me if I felt like I needed service before my scheduled 7 day time to just call and they would work with me. I loved the experience, or as much as you can love having 2 very large pack rats in your garage (think guinea pig size, lol). David was very timely, knowledgeable, and respectful. When he left he even shook my hand. Titan has definitely earned any future business of mine and I will definitely be recommending them to others!**Update: After no movement on the camera for almost 72 hours (and they set off the camera pretty much every 5 minutes prior to Titan coming out so we were cautiously optimistic they both had died), one resurfaced at 3am this morning, the one that has had a trap stuck on him for that entire 72 hours, and he can't get into the only food source, aka the bait trap, because of the trap being stuck on his head. So, I contacted Titan this morning just to see if anyone could come back out before the scheduled Thursday time, figuring I probably would be out of luck. The lady that answered said that while David's schedule was pretty full, she would have him out sometime today, just couldn't say when.I wish more businesses operated this way.
Response from the owner: Hi, Haley. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!

Spring: Awakening of Pests
Common Pests: The spring warmth revives dormant creatures such as ants, spiders, and wasps.
Extermination Actions:
- Inspections: Professionals conduct comprehensive inspections to spot early signs of pest activity, which is crucial for preventing infestations.
- Identification: They identify potential breeding grounds and harborage areas.
- Preventive Treatments: Exterminators apply targeted treatments to emerging nests and colonies, cutting off problems before they grow.
As nature reawakens in the spring, so do pests. This season is critical for setting the stage for year-long pest control. Professionals focus heavily on prevention during this time, using their expertise to preemptively strike against pests that emerge with the warmer weather.
Summer: Peak Pest Activity
Common Pests: This season sees heightened activity from pests like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Strategies:
- Biological Control: Introducing natural predators to reduce pest populations.
- Habitat Manipulation: Modifying the environment to make it less appealing to pests.
- Chemical Treatments: Adulticides and larvicides are applied, mainly targeting mosquito populations.
Homeowner Education: Professionals also educate homeowners on maintaining yard hygiene and managing water sources to prevent pest breeding.
Summer is the busiest season for pests, prompting exterminators to deploy various strategies. Through IPM, professionals tackle the root causes of pest invasions, ensuring long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.
Fall: Preparation for Overwintering
Common Pests: Rodents, box elder bugs, and lady beetles seek shelter from the colder temperatures.
Extermination Actions:
- Sealing Entry Points: Professionals seal cracks and crevices to prevent pests from entering homes.
- Repellents and Barriers: These are applied around potential entry points to deter pests.
- Bait Stations: Strategically placed to control rodent populations.
Fall is the time for preparation. Exterminators strengthen the home’s defenses against pests looking for winter refuge. Effective sealing and strategically using repellents are vital to keeping pests at bay.
Winter: Monitoring and Maintenance
Common Pests: Indoor pests like spiders, silverfish, and bed bugs become more noticeable.
Extermination Actions:
- Indoor Treatments: Targeted treatments are applied where pests are likely to hide.
- Regular Monitoring: Professionals monitor pest activity to ensure that any winter infestations are quickly addressed.
- Strategy Adjustment: Pest control strategies are refined based on the observed activity and effectiveness of previous treatments.
In the winter, the focus shifts indoors, where warmth attracts pests. Regular monitoring and maintenance are crucial during this season to manage indoor infestations and prepare for spring.
Seasonal pest management in the Midwest demands a proactive and knowledgeable approach from skilled professionals. By employing strategic treatments and preventative measures throughout the year, exterminators help homeowners maintain a comfortable and pest-free environment. If you’re battling persistent or seasonal pests, consulting a licensed exterminator can provide effective and sustainable solutions tailored to your needs. Effective pest control not only enhances your home’s safety but also contributes to the well-being of all its inhabitants.
