Squirrels may appear cute and harmless when frolicking in your yard, but these small rodents can become a significant nuisance when they invade your home.
Squirrel infestations can lead to severe property damage and health risks, making it crucial to identify and address them promptly. In this guide, we’ll explore the common signs of squirrel infestation and provide insight into when to seek professional help.
Titan was very professional and was able to get rid of my brown recluse problem quickly and Lucas really helped explain how to keep them from coming back.
Response from the owner: Hi, Vinnie. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
This was my first time treating mosquitoes over the spring/summer and I will use Titan EVERY YEAR. They treated my entire property including a HUGE backyard with a natural, citrus smelling oil that's safe for plants and animals. By the second visit, we were 100% skeeter free! No chiggers, no gnats... My property backs up to a lake and we were often using bug spray, citronella, all kinds of useless and toxic products just to enjoy our own yard. I think it hit me one day when I was three houses down at a neighbors and was literally swatting mosquitoes off my child. But I could be on my own deck, enjoying the lake and not have one single bug bother us.Every technician who came out was very nice, thorough, let me know when they'd be there, when they finished and were so professional. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who needs help with pests. I am having them keep rodents out of my garage next. Critters might be looking for somewhere warm to hideout and Titan is not going to let my garage be their hibernation hangout! I'm grateful
We have been customers of Titan Pest Control for a while now, and have really put their products and services to the test! We made the switch from another pest control company when we were inundated with squirrel activity in the soffit and attic, mice/vols in the house, and moles in the yard. We reached out to Titan Pest Control and they resolved all of our issues quickly, professionally, and with excellent pricing and customer service for our needs. Today we had a regular application with J and opted to add coverage for our carpenter bee issues in the back. I trust this company to manage any and all of our Pest control needs. J and everyone I've communicated with from Titan Pest Control have each been friendly, knowledgeable and professional, without ever forcing products or services that I haven't indicated interest in. 100% recommend this company to anyone battling all of the pests out in the wild!

Great experience! With winter comes mice unfortunately. I submitted an online request for services late Friday night and received a response first thing Saturday morning. Jake was very knowledgeable and explained cost and services thoroughly.Update: Jay has been out to continue service (barrier outside/inside and checking bait stations) he has been doing a fantastic job
Response from the owner: Hi, Andrea. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!

Jake was great--was knowledgeable and personable. Their services meet my needs and their pricing seem fair (and very clear, unlike others). Looking forward to using their service.
Response from the owner: Hi, Matthew. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
I had a mice problem in my house that made life kinda hard and for the longest time I was too embarrassed to call anyone but when I finally called Titan for the first time they sent out great help. Lucas Bartlome made sure to be very kind and did the job quickly and safely to get rid of the mice. I would highly recommend this company and Lucas!!
Response from the owner: Hi, Reese. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
It's been a complete delight working with Brandyn from Titan. We've used Titan for pest control at both our Airbnb and our own residence. On a side note, the office staff has been outstanding—always courteous and friendly. Recently, we had them spray our yards for mosquitoes, and I was pleasantly surprised by the pleasant aroma of the mosquito spray—quite a bonus! Their eco-friendly and pet-safe products are a must-have for any household. I wholeheartedly rate Titan a perfect 10 out of 10.
Response from the owner: Hi, Francis. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
J Kesterson was a pleasure to work with. Felt very confident in the work as he was here explaining everything. The company as a whole communicated effectively and followed through.
Response from the owner: Hi, Ryan. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
We’ve been using Titan Pest for over a year now and it’s really been a great experience. Scheduling is always super easy and the people who come out to provide the service e are always very nice. Jay came out yesterday and was absolutely awesome and informative, just like he always is. Other companies stop by to see if we’re open to switching our services, but there’s no need for that. We’re happy with their quality of service that Titan Pest provides!
Response from the owner: Hi, Carla. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Came out same day to start treatments after I saw some ants. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They are easy to work with and quick to respond as other issues arise (birds getting in vents).
Response from the owner: Hi, Kim. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
I just started using Titan Pest after being overwhelmed with the clover mites coming in through my windows and sliding kitchen door. After the initial treatment, the number of clover mites I’ve been seeing is negligible. Brandyn was very friendly and professional and I would recommend this company to anyone needing pest control.
Response from the owner: Hi, Stephanie. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
We started using Titan because of a clover mite problem. Originally we were with Pest Shield. We immediately decided to switch over to Titan Pest! They completely eliminated the clover mite issue. Shortly after they came and did a touch up and double checked everything was gone. My husband and I are so happy we made the switch!
Response from the owner: Hi, Dania. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
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 CAN NOT THANK J AND HIS TEAM ENOUGH FOR COMING OUT AND TAKINK CARE OF OUR BUG PROBLEM, NOT ONLY DID HE GET RID OF THE PROBLEM WE NOTICED HE ALSO SPOTTED OTHER INFESTATIONS THAT WE WERE NOT AWARE OF AND GOT RID OF THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY!!! THE TREATMENTS WERE CONSISTENT AND THEY WERE SO CONSCIOUS OF OUR SAFETY, I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT I CAN COME INTO MY WORKPLACE AND NOT WORRY ABOUT TAKING ANYTHING HOME WITH ME. THANK SO YOU 🙏😊
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!
I had the best custservice experience talking with Brandon. He was very understanding of my position and what it was I was needed and was very responsive and professional about the circumstances. I would say he has gone above and beyond to help with some families I have been working with through my job. I would recommend giving them a call if you have any concerns with treating a home.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your review!
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!!! 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from the owner: Hi, Lori. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
Direct and clear about the issue and how to address it. On time, punctual, and professional.
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.
