Many people think that raccoons are cute with their ringed tails and masked faces, but don’t let them fool you – they cause a lot of trouble for homeowners and business owners alike.
They can carry diseases and are often destructive when they hang around your home or get in your attic.
Ken is very thorough and professional and respectful of our property. Personable too. I highly recommend him for any of your pest control needs. Liz and George
Response from the owner: Hi, George. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Cristian, our technician, is awesome. He has been so helpful and informative! He seems to have solved an issue with spiders we were having on the exterior of our home.. which have bothered me for years. He is proactive in getting those pests. So thankful for his great work m, helpful tips to keep the bugs away, and kind demeanor.
Response from the owner: Hi, Anonymous. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
I initially used Titan to get rid of my mole problem, but I just upgraded to additional pest protection. The tech that came out, J Kesterson, was professional and knowledgeable, and he explained clearly the additional services I’m getting. I’m very pleased with Titan Pest and Wildlife and highly recommend them.
Response from the owner: Hi, Ellyssia. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
We had a multiple types of pest issue in our attic and yard. Jay made the 2+ hour drive up to our house and did a thorough inspection, after which he walked me through all the areas they could address on our 3 acres. The technician, Christian, showed up on time for the initial and follow-up treatment of our attic (mice, squirrels, and raccoon evidence) and our yard (loads of mole tunnels throughout the property). He was very professional, thorough, and always asked if there was anything more I needed him to check out/look at. Titan is also spraying and treating the inside and outside of our house for spiders, bugs, etc. - which I have seen a major improvement in! I am very happy so far and look forward to their monthly treatments - peace of mind for me and my family!

We had concerns over one in our household being bit periodically each month. We made an appointment and J came out that same day. He helped us decipher what our problem was and came up with a plan.
Response from the owner: Hi, Cindy. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!

Jay came out for a walkthrough and inspection today. I appreciated the in person quote. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very thorough in his explanations. I would recommend.
Response from the owner: Hi, Kippi. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
J came out to my house, did a complete assessment, explained their program and all the cost. They captured a raccoon that was destroying my yard, then took it and released in a safe location. Thank you for your help!
Response from the owner: Hi, Michael. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
J. Kesterson came to my house and did a thorough inspection of my exterior and interior of my house including the attic and basement. He provided pictures of the areas of concern and I was able to set up a program to address these issues. Nice gentleman!
Response from the owner: Hi, Marie. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
This is the 3rd time they have been out and they are very attentive in trying to figure out how the mice are getting in my attic. All 3 young men have been very professional.
Response from the owner: Hi, Mckenna. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
J came to my house and was very thorough with his termite inspection. I had others come out but never any real explanation of things. J did great and even pointed out termites and explained the process of removing and getting the active ones out. Great experience and happy to work with them.
Response from the owner: Hi, Laelle. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
J Kesterson came out and did a thorough job inspecting and explaining our situation to us. Termites are a serious issues and we were in a hurry to get a solution started. Highly recommend Titan and J Kesterson, thank you!
Response from the owner: Hi, Laura. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
We have used Titan for over a year since replacing the company our builder had us using. They have deliver better and more consistent results and ANY time we have had an issue outside of our normal service they’ve been quick to respond and assist.
Response from the owner: Hi, Ben. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
I purchased Samuel Berton Distillery 5 weeks ago. And one of the hoops we had to jump through was a pest inspection, treatment and plan moving forward. Titan got on it. And in a weeks time all is well! Look forward to long term service and Jake was very professional and as thorough as can be. Very satisfied!!!
Response from the owner: Hi, Tony. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
I highly recommend Titan. Great service and affordable. We have an older home and Jacob Routt was a big help in making sure our needs were addressed and explaining the process.
Response from the owner: Hi, Dylan. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Completely trust this company! Very professional and it is evident they know what they are doing. They are honest and explain what they find and what they recommend. However, there is absolutely no pressure tactics used to try to get you to do anything. They just explain things and leave it to you. I highly recommend this company!
Response from the owner: Hi, Betty. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
After the initial service inspection, I was impressed with the thoroughness of the inspection. The primary problem I had reported which was infestation of moles in our back yard had been addressed. I'll just wait until the next visit after 2 weeks to see if the problem is resolved.
Response from the owner: Hi, Tony. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Ethan H. and the staff at Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions saved the day for us this past weekend! They worked hard to find someone to come to our house very last minute and find the source of the smell close to our home. Ethan was friendly, pleasant and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this company to anyone- they are fabulous!
Response from the owner: Hi, Mindy. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
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 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!
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!
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!
We had so many brown recluse this year, response time was fantastic. Allen was very friendly, respectful, and knowledgeable. They handled the problem and now i can finally sleep again. Will forever recommend Titan to all our friends and family.
Response from the owner: Hi, Dusty. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
David did a great job of ridding my flea issue! He is very knowledgeable and very professional!! I would recommend Titan Pest and Wildlife Solutions if you have any kind of pest you want gone!!! 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you suspect that you have raccoons in your attic or that they’re causing problems in other parts of your property, do not try to handle them on your own. Call Titan Pest & Wildlife for raccoon removal. We specialize in humanely trapping and removing raccoons and will also repair the damage they caused.
As a full-service wildlife removal company serving the St. Louis & St. Louis City Metro area, we will inspect your home or property for any signs of a raccoon infestation. Once we safely remove them, we will ensure they stay gone for good.
Facts About Raccoons
Raccoons are commonly seen in and around the St. Louis & St. Louis City area. Weighing anywhere from 7 to 23 pounds, they are fuzzy little critters with bushy ringed tails and a black mask across their eyes. While they look cute and cuddly, they can be quite fearsome when approached.
Raccoons have five toes with short curved claws on all four paws, enabling them to climb effortlessly and manipulate objects. They also have excellent eyesight in the dark, so you may see them scurrying around at night.
Raccoon TracksRaccoon Droppings
They can adapt to almost any climate and live in a wide range of habitats. They prefer to make their dens in trees or caves, but if they find a human structure they like, they will move in. When they cause trouble for homeowners, they decide to move into the attic or garage. They are incredibly destructive and can be vicious when approached.
During the winter months, raccoons can exhibit different behaviors because they are not true hibernators. They do stay active year-round. However, you may see fewer of them in the winter because many of them store up body fat in the spring and summer, so they can spend most of their time sleeping in their dens.
Raccoon Damage & Disease
Raccoons are very intelligent creatures and have good memories. Unfortunately, this means they are more likely to keep coming around your home as long as there’s a food supply. While they prefer fish, insects, berries, fruit, and nuts, they eat anything humans eat. This is one of the main reasons you’ll see them rummaging through your trash can or eating everything in your garden.
However, raccoons are not wild animals you want scavaging around your home and property. If they find your attic or garage a safe and cozy place to live, they’ll move in and bring a host of problems.
First, raccoons are seriously destructive! This is due to their intelligence, curiosity, agility, and climbing skills. They are destructive by nature and can destroy almost anything. They will tear up insulation, chew on wires, rip apart air ducts, chew through roofing materials, and anything else they feel like destroying. In addition to all the destruction, they urinate and poop everywhere, which is a biohazard.
Second, raccoons are known to carry diseases. The most common diseases include:
Rabies
Roundworms
Leptospirosis
Salmonellosis
Giardiasis
We recommend raccoon removal immediately for all of these reasons as soon as you realize you have a raccoon problem.
Signs You Have Raccoons in Your Attic
Your attic might provide a raccoon with a warm and dry place to live. Female raccoons often sneak into an attic when they want a good place to raise their babies. If you suspect you have one or more raccoons living in your attic, you need to act immediately.
Some signs that you have raccoons in your attic include:
You hear something walking around your attic – Raccoons can weigh as much as 23 pounds, so if there’s a raccoon up there, you will likely hear them walking around. Squirrels, rats, and mice scurry around too, but they are smaller and typically don’t make the kind of noise raccoons do.
Visible damage – Raccoons have sharp teeth and claws, and they can claw and chew on wood beams, insulation, wiring, HVAC components, roofing tiles, and drywall. They can cause noticeable damage to your attic’s floors, walls, and ceilings in a relatively short period.
Droppings and the smell of urine – If you have raccoons living in your attic, they will leave droppings and urine everywhere. If you look in your attic and notice either problem right away, it’s essential to get a pest control company to check it out. Raccoon droppings and urine can carry diseases, so do not attempt to clean it up yourself.
Raccoon sightings – It’s not uncommon to see raccoons getting into your trashcan or running around on your property. But have you seen them climbing up or down your downspout or running around on your roof? The fact is, if you see raccoons on your property, they could be in your attic.
Removing Raccoons in Your Attic
If you have raccoons in your attic, do not try to remove them yourself! If you have them in your attic during their mating season, it’s likely a mother raccoon with her babies. This makes removing them even more tricky. If the babies are removed first, they may be used to bait her out. But if she doesn’t see that her babies have been removed, it will drive her back into the attic to search for her family, creating even more damage.
At Titan Pest & Wildlife, we are an expert wildlife removal company. We know how to remove raccoons from your attic or property safely.
Attic Clean Up
After we have effectively removed the raccoons from your attic, you will need the area thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Raccoons can leave behind a lot of waste, which causes significant contamination and is a health risk. The main concern is that they’ve left behind large amounts of feces with the risk of transmitting Salmonella or leptospirosis.
Contact Titan Pest & Wildlife
If you have raccoons in your attic or another part of your home or property, do not attempt to remove them yourself. Raccoons are incredibly intelligent animals. They have learned how to adapt to the urban way of life and don’t get scared off easily. So, if you want to make sure they leave your home alone, you need to call in the experts.
At Titan Pest & Wildlife, we make it our business to protect your home. Our residential pest control solutions provide a thorough pest management process designed to eliminate the raccoon problems you have now and, more importantly, prevent future issues.
