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.
Response from the owner:Hi, Mark. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Had our attic inspected with one of the finest sales manager โJ kesterson โ. I would definitely recommend this company and Kesterson for any pest or yard activities
Response from the owner:Hi, Srinivas. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Ken H. Was great! Very thorough, personable, courteous and knowledgeable. My second treatment by Titan and I have to say, I am impressed. They stand behind their work. That says a lot! Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Hi, Tonya. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Brandyn was amazing. I was messaging at 6am after finding my worst nightmare in my new home. & They were out same day. He was super informative. Very kind. & Was not judgemental at all. He was kind to my dogs & I feel so much more at ease now.
Response from the owner:Hi, Shelbye. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
J Kesterson was extremely diligent in finding the source of our pest! With their FREE Assessment we came up with a plan to seal off the infestation area. He thoroughly scoured the rest of the roof line and attic for any other potential areas of entry. Professional, Kind and Courteous, J Kesterson was there for us when we really needed them!
Response from the owner:Hi, Ken. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Very pleased with communication and quick response. Feel confident this company is qualified to take care of any pest control needs in the future. Will recommend to family and friends.

I had a great experience with Titan Pest Control! They responded quickly when I reached out and were professional and punctual for my consultation.

Response from the owner:Hi, Vidya. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!

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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that Jordan and the Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions KC team exceeded your expectations. Providing thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable service is our priority, and weโre glad Jordan was able to uncover the root of the issue and offer the best solution for your home.

Choosing Titan Pest and Wildlife Solutions was the best decision dealing pesky rodents in my residential home. The team is very knowledgeable, professional, and responds promptly with any questions I had. Great company and I highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Hi, Trinh. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
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, Ethan. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Titan was absolutely amazing! They were very responsive and attentive. They thoroughly explained what was going on and exactly how they were going to fix it. I definitely recommend them and we will use them again if we ever need assistance.
Prompt and courteous. Will definitely use services in the future. And would recommend to anyone needing the services they provide. Thank you for an overall great experience.
Response from the owner:Hi, Faze. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
We tried to have another company come out, but the technician had a flat tire. Iโm so glad they didnโt come because J was super helpful, knowledgeable, and made really good suggestions. Client for life, would recommend!
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 😭
They were able to come and do everything (with a 1year warranty) for a very fair price!
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!
J. Kesterson, came out & gave me the free estimate, I was promised. He showed up on time, and was both, friendly and professional. After explaining the process, and answering my questions, we came up with a reasonably, affordable plan. He was knowledgeable and reassuring. I feel confident, that this company knows what theyโre doing, and are going to successfully, eliminate the pests from my home.
Response from the owner:Hi, Catasha. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
I am immensely afraid of any kind of rodent. The Titan company understood my fear and treated me kindly, explained their process, and even came to my home earlier than what was scheduled. I appreciate that and would gladly recommend their business.
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!
If they send โJโout for your free estimate.. please trust him as he is a very knowledgeable and respectful young man.. he answered every question I had and he doesnโt hesitate to help find the best solution that will fit your situation.. I would highly recommend this team to anyone
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!
Jenn was fabulous. I called in to set for someone to come out and help me with the rats in my wood pile. I goofed up on the day and she was so kind and helpful.
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!
Noises in the Attic or Walls
One of the first signs of a squirrel infestation is the sound of scampering, scratching, or chewing, often heard in the attic, walls, or ceiling.
Squirrels are most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
These sounds may indicate that squirrels are nesting and moving around in your home.
The noises can vary from light scurrying to louder thumps, especially when squirrels jump or move larger objects.
Droppings and Urine Stains
Squirrels leave behind droppings and urine stains as they move through your home.
Squirrel droppings are usually small, dark, and pellet-shaped, similar to those of rats but slightly larger.
These droppings may be in the attic, near entry points, or along their travel routes.
Urine stains can be detected by their pungent odor and may cause discoloration on walls, ceilings, and insulation.
Chewed Wires and Wood
Squirrels have ever-growing incisors that require constant gnawing to keep them in check.
This behavior leads them to chew on various materials, including electrical wiring, wooden beams, and insulation.
Chewed wires pose a significant fire hazard.
Damaged wood can compromise the structural integrity of your home.
Look for gnaw marks around entry points, attic spaces, and electrical installations.
Nests and Debris
Squirrels build nests using leaves, twigs, insulation, and fabric.
These nests, known as dreys, are often found in attics, chimneys, or wall cavities.
If you discover a pile of nesting materials or debris, it strongly indicates a squirrel presence.
Check for signs of food storage, such as acorns or nuts, which squirrels may hide in your home for later consumption.
Entry Points
Inspect your home for potential entry points that squirrels might use to gain access. Common entry points include:
Roof vents
Chimney flues
Gaps in soffits
Damaged eaves
Squirrels can squeeze through small openings, so even a tiny gap can be an invitation. Look for gnawed openings, loose shingles, and torn screens to indicate squirrel activity.
Behavioral Changes in Pets
If you have pets, their behavior can provide clues about a squirrel infestation. Cats and dogs may become unusually alert, agitated, or focused on specific areas of your home, such as the attic or walls. They may bark, scratch, or paw at these areas in response to the presence of squirrels.
When to Seek Professional Help
While some signs of squirrel activity can be addressed with basic prevention measures, an established infestation often requires professional intervention. Here are some situations when it’s best to call in the experts:
Extensive Property Damage: If you notice significant damage to wiring, insulation, or structural components, professional pest control services can assess and mitigate the damage.
Persistent Noises: Continuous or escalating noises suggest a growing infestation that needs expert attention to complete removal and prevention.
Health Concerns: Squirrel droppings and urine can carry diseases that pose health risks to you and your family. Professional cleaning and decontamination are necessary in such cases.
Multiple Entry Points: Identifying and sealing all entry points can be challenging. Pest control professionals can conduct a thorough inspection and secure your home effectively.
Squirrel infestations can cause significant damage and pose health risks if left unaddressed. By recognizing the signs of squirrel activity, such as noises, droppings, chewed materials, and nests, you can take timely action to protect your home. Professional pest control services offer the expertise and tools necessary for thorough and humane removal. If you suspect a squirrel infestation, don’t hesitate to contact a professional to safeguard your property and health.
