Bed bugs are tenacious critters that can live for a year without being fed. They travel well and are thought to be coming from overseas, hopping inside of suitcases and on clothing for a free ride to your home. Even 5 star luxury hotels are now experiencing problems with these uninvited guests.

Bed bugs can live in your mattress and bed clothes, where they lie in wait for you to go to sleep. Once they hear your snoring, they know it’s time for dinner. You will not feel the bite, but you will wake up with an itchy bump in the morning.

Despite their name, a bed bug can be hiding anywhere in your home. They find sofas and loveseats cozy too or may even make a home behind pictures and wall papers. This type of all-over infestation requires special care.

An adult bed bug is comparable in size to an apple seed. They are clear while growing and rust colored once they reach adulthood, turning a deeper shade of red after having just fed. They do not have wings, but are able to move very quickly, usually congregating in groups where they feel most secure.

Bed bugs are parasitic like ticks, feeding off of the blood of humans and pets. The difference being that they will detach from you once full, making it difficult to determine that you have an infestation.

In addition to their rapid growth and large number of eggs laid by the females, adult bed bugs also move around by hitching a ride on your clothes. You can inadvertently bring them into your home just by sitting on a couch at a friend’s house. They typically like to stay close to where their next meal is going to come from, which is why they tend to congregate in a bedroom, but larger colonies will spread out into other areas of your home.

Bed bugs are one of the most resilient insects known to an exterminator, often eluding even the most astute technician. They have grown resistant to many of the more common chemical treatments, requiring an exterminating team of Titan warriors to plan and execute a brutal attack. Before beginning, we do our own intense investigation and organize a plan to eliminate the problem. Because of their small size, ability to hide, and a large number of eggs, it may take multiple visits to eradicate a bed bug problem. Yet once Titan is on the job, you will soon rest peacefully at night again.

If you are waking up with small bites or itchy welts in the morning, you may have a bed bug problem. Look for these signs of an infestation:

· Seeing the bugs – It is best to wait for late at night and use a flashlight to see if you spot any apple-seed sized bugs scurrying across your sheets.
· Finding case skins – In some cases you may find the small skin casings left behind by the younger bed bugs in between molts.
· Stains on sheets or blankets – The bed bugs will return to their hiding space after feeding, where they will leave blackish brown stains on sheets or blankets or small mounds on a non-porous surface.

· A female bed bug can lay 3 or 4 eggs every few days, or approximately 300 to 500 throughout their lifespan.
· Eggs takes 2 weeks to hatch.
· It only takes 4 to 6 weeks for a baby bed bug to reach adulthood.

The Titan mouse extermination process is an effective and efficient method of getting rid of the tiny pests. Every nook and cranny in your home is first examined by a trained exterminator. Once we know where the mice are nesting, the Titan army can begin evicting.

With mice, it is not enough to seek, destroy, and leave. The extermination professionals of Titan know that in order to ensure total control of the mouse population, we need to inspect the outside as well. Knowing how they get in is just as important as making sure they are thrown out.

The small size of a mouse makes it difficult to root them out. Mice have an uncanny ability to squeeze into the tiniest of crevices where they can live and breed (sometimes without detection) for months. Titan mouse exterminating experts know exactly what to look for and where to look for the mouse family that has built a comfortable home inside of your home.

· In NYC, the mouse population is only second to the number of humans.
· Mice can squeeze through a crack that is only 6mm wide.
· The whiskers on mice are used to sense changes in temperature and texture.
· Mice are able to communicate with each other using ultrasound.
· A single mouse can find up to 30 different food sources every night.
· Mice start to breed when they are only 3 months old.
· A female mouse will have up to 8 litters each year, resulting in anywhere from 4 to 16 offspring with each birth.
· Mice use their own urine to mark areas where they have already explored.
 · A mouse will produce up to 80 droppings a day. These droppings are strewn everywhere the mouse goes.

The common house mouse measures between 12 and 20 centimeters in length. This is including the tail, which is often as long as, if not longer, than the body. Most mice are either white, brown, or gray in color, with hair covering the body, tail, and large floppy ears. A mouse’s face is distinct, with a triangle shaped snout and long whiskers which it uses to make its way through the dark.

Just like rats, mice come out during the night, feeding on whatever food stores in your home that they can find. NJ and NYC residents need to be on the lookout for their presence, as mice are known carriers for a number of serious diseases that can be transmitted to humans.

As with other rodents, mice breed proficiently, having close to ten litters in a single year. Female mice will give birth to up to fifteen offspring, which grow rapidly to continue the cycle. This exponential growth of rat colonies makes it of utmost importance that you contact a professional mice exterminator the second you become aware that they have their own home inside of yours.

In order to make your home an unpleasant environment for mice, Titan Pest Control will launch a specialized attack. Your home is inspected from top to bottom, on the lookout for ideal nesting areas. Once we are confident that all mice have been removed, the search is on for points of entry.

Any hole or crack that is larger than the cap of your pen needs to be sealed to keep mice out. Special materials are used in order to prevent mice from finding a way to chew their way back inside. Without this important step, your home may be hosting a new family of mice very soon.

Although small, mice cannot help but leave distinct signs of their presence in your home:

· Mouse droppings – The waste products of mice are very small, brown, and cylinder shaped. You will not necessarily see one or two piles, but rather the individual pellets scattered around where they roam.
· Signs of chewing – Mouse are incessant chewers, and will gnaw on plastic, furniture, cardboard, and any household wiring.
· Disturbed food – Plastic bags and cardboard boxes of food can be chewed open by mice.

· A female bed bug can lay 3 or 4 eggs every few days, or approximately 300 to 500 throughout their lifespan.
· Eggs takes 2 weeks to hatch.
· It only takes 4 to 6 weeks for a baby bed bug to reach adulthood.

· As they are growing, they will shed their skin 5 times.
· Bed bugs need to eat a meal at least one time in between each skin shedding.
· The average bed bug adult has a life expectancy of 10 to 12 months.
· A bed bug will not stay on you, but will return to his hiding spot after feeding off of your blood.
· Bed bugs can bite multiple times during one feeding.
· Although there has never been a documented case of transmission of disease to a human, bed bugs are known to be capable of carrying over 20 different pathogens, including HIV and Hepatitis B.

A qualified inspector will quickly be at your home when we receive your call regarding rat extermination. The extent of infestation will be determined and the extent of work involved in order to provide you with a fair estimate for the extermination of the rats.

With carefully developed programs, rats are quickly and effectively removed from your property. Once the Titan rat warriors are confident that the rats are gone, we do a thorough inspection to get to the root of your problem and do our best to prevent a future occurrence.

In some cases, rat control takes multiple visits before the problem is completely exterminated. Rats are wily rodents, but they cannot outsmart the experienced Titan exterminator for long. With our tenacity, you can rest assured that we will get to the root of the issue.

· Rats are remarkably instinctive and will be wary of certain baits and traps put out to catch them.
· Rats will colonize inside of walls, under porches, and inside of attic spaces.
· Rats harbor and can transmit a number of serious diseases to humans.
· The fleas and ticks that a rat is harboring also can transmit these diseases and can jump from a rat to your pet.
· A female rat can have up to 7 pregnancies in a single year, producing over 80 offspring in just 12 months.
· A rat will eat just about anything and uses its strong sense of smell to seek out food.
· Rats can break down support components of your home with their strong teeth in order to build nests for their young.

Rats are often confused with mice, despite their larger size. They are distinguished by two large front incisors that grow continually throughout the rats life. This is the reason why rats incessantly chew, especially on materials inside of your home. Another feature of the rat is the long tail, which can be longer than the body on some species. The hair of a rat is mainly on the body, with very little hair on the ears and the tail. What is obvious is the speed at which they can run on four legs and their ability to stand erect on the back two.

Rats thrive in a human environment, dwelling in cities, rural areas, and suburban towns. They are communal pests, forming large populations in small areas such as your basement.

The gestation cycle of the female rat is incredibly quick, allowing her to have multiple pregnancies in the course of a year. Litters of rats will have four or more offspring, which grow quickly, adding to the population. If you catch sight of one rat in your home, there is little doubt that there are more in hiding.

When you live in close quarters, such as a NYC apartment building, a rat population can be rampant throughout the entire dwelling. Titan exterminators will need to look not only at your individual apartment, but the entire structure to find where the building is being compromised. The first priority, however, is with our client and ridding their space of any rats and securing it so that other rats will no longer have a way to gain entry.

New Jersey suburbs create a different challenge, as rats may be coming in from nearby wooded areas. This is the reason why a thorough inspection of your home must be executed, with all points of entry sealed appropriately.

Generally a nocturnal animal, you may not know you are sharing your home with a rat colony until the population has grown out of control. However, they will leave signs of their presence.

· Rat droppings – Rats tend to leave their waste in specific locations. These will resemble large grains of rice.
· Food store invasion – With their incredibly strong teeth, rats are able to chew through bags and boxes with ease. If you notice holes in food stores left out overnight, a rat could be the culprit.
· Foot and tail prints – As they scurry throughout a dwelling, rats will leave behind distinct foot and tail prints.
· Rub marks – Rats have terrible eyesight and will usually follow the same path over and over out of habit. Their greasy hair will leave a smudge on the wall next to the skirting boards that define their known path.

· A female bed bug can lay 3 or 4 eggs every few days, or approximately 300 to 500 throughout their lifespan.
· Eggs takes 2 weeks to hatch.
· It only takes 4 to 6 weeks for a baby bed bug to reach adulthood.

· As they are growing, they will shed their skin 5 times.
· Bed bugs need to eat a meal at least one time in between each skin shedding.
· The average bed bug adult has a life expectancy of 10 to 12 months.
· A bed bug will not stay on you, but will return to his hiding spot after feeding off of your blood.
· Bed bugs can bite multiple times during one feeding.
· Although there has never been a documented case of transmission of disease to a human, bed bugs are known to be capable of carrying over 20 different pathogens, including HIV and Hepatitis B.

In the wild, a squirrel is a free spirited creature, jumping from tree to tree in the pursuit of food. Although cute in their natural habitat, squirrels can be a major nuisance for humans when living too closely together. This is a common problem found in the crowded suburbs of NJ and the greater NYC area, where houses have taken up the spaces that squirrels used to roam freely through.

The most vulnerable areas in your home for squirrel entry are your garage and attic spaces. A squirrel makes an entryway by chewing through the exterior of your home and using the space to nest and store food. Squirrels are not at all secretive about their presence and are usually detected by the loud noises they make once they have made their entrance.

Wildlife control involves a number of hazards that only an expert can foresee. Titan pest control specialists are often called upon to work in small cramped spaces, face to face with a frightened squirrel. Although cute and furry on the outside, a squirrel will quickly turn vicious when threatened, posing a risk for bites and scratches. These can lead to diseases that you are not normally exposed to.

· Squirrels will tear up insulation inside of an attic or crawl space in order to make a cozy nest.
· Squirrels will defecate in the same space, causing a strong unpleasant smell to permeate your home.
· Your ceiling can become stained from a squirrel who has taken up residence in your attic.
· Squirrel droppings can put your family at risk for salmonella poisoning.
· Squirrels are known to chew through wiring, causing fire hazards as well as expensive repairs.
· A squirrel is a carrier for ticks and fleas, which will quickly transfer to your pets and home if infested by a squirrel.

A squirrel inside of your home will make a large racket as they prepare their nest and burrow their stores of food. If there is more than one, you may also hear sounds of fighting. If the noise is heard mostly at night, a flying squirrel is the likely culprit, while gray squirrels are typically more active during the day.

The first step that Titan Pest Control needs to take is trapping and removing the squirrel from your home. We make every attempt possible to ensure that the animal can be released into its natural habitat. This is a dangerous undertaking that should only be handled by experts with comprehensive training.

Setting the traps and removing the squirrel from your home is only half the battle that we will undertake. The next step is finding the point of entry and securing it so that another squirrel will not find it’s way in. There may be numerous holes that have been created by the squirrel, all of which need to be sealed properly.

An overpopulation of squirrels in your neighborhood will make your home more vulnerable to an infestation. Look out for the following signs that squirrels may have decided to make your home their home.

· Squirrels on the roof, looking for ways to enter the attic space.
· An increasing occurrence of squirrels fighting in the yard. This indicates that the population is getting too large for the area.
· Scratching or digging noises coming from your attic or vents.
· Holes underneath soffits, in the siding of your home, or close to gutter spouts.
