Ants
If you have ants invading your NJ or NYC home, we have the solution!
Ants are teeny tiny scavengers that can cause a big mess in your NJ or NYC home. This is one of the most common pest problems solved by the Titan exterminators, yet one of the most complex. Ants come in a number of shapes and sizes, with different species often requiring specialized annihilation plans.
Titan Pest Control is Armed to Annihilate Ants that Invade Your Home
Ants can enter your home through the smallest crack imaginable, seeking out moisture and any available food sources. These are creatures who will feed off of anything, from a moldy piece of wood, to a steak dinner. Working like a small army, an ant colony will send out the scouts first and then order the troops to follow once a food source has been found.
In order for an exterminator to effectively eradicate ants from your home, they must first be able to identify the species they are dealing with. The team at Titan Pest Control is fully trained and knowledgeable in ant identification and control and will be able to quickly develop a plan of attack to rid your home of this pesky little pest.a
An Army of Ants Requires an Army of Titans to Destroy Them
An ant infestation inside of a NJ and NYC home is usually multi-dimensional. There are the ants that are visible and then there is the nest where the rest of the army is hiding in wait. Titan Pest Control not only destroys the ants you can see, we track the ants back to their nest and work to take out the reserves with them. This multi-step approach gets to the root of your ant issue.

Facts About Ants That Will Ruin Your Picnic
+· Ants enter your home through tiny cracks, usually around windows and doors, to seek water and food.
· As scout ants move about, they leave behind a scent trail for the rest of the army to follow once food has been located.
· Ants will build a hidden nest anywhere in or around your home.
· A typical ant colony is comprised of between 300,000 to 500,000 ants. If threatened, the entire colony will quickly find a new place to nest.

· Store bought and homemade ant solutions only solve the problem of the ants that you see. There may be thousands living inside of the wall that will be unaffected. -
Identifying Ants in Your Home
+There are thousands of different species of ants, but the four that are most commonly found infesting a NJ or NYC home include:
· Carpenter ants – These are typically five inches long and can be found burrowed in damp wood where they have built their nest.
· Red imported fire ants – These are the small ants with a painful bite that build large mounds in the ground around your home.
· Pavement ants – These are typically found living inside of cracks in your concrete patio, driveway, or foundation.
· Pharoah ants – This type of ant is able to transmit certain infectious diseases, such as staph, and is commonly seen in hospitals, restaurants, and apartment buildings. -
The Life Cycle of an Ant
+There are slight differences in the life cycle between different species of ants, but almost all center around the queen. Her only goal in life is to reproduce, which she will do throughout her lifetime. It is up to her discretion whether male or female ants are produced, in accordance with the colony’s needs at the time.

Bed Bugs
Titan Pest Control knows that no one in NJ or NYC wants to share a bed with a bug!
Up until recently, bed bugs in NJ and NYC were thought to be a nuisance of the past. Sadly, they have resurfaced both here and abroad with a vengeance. These little buggers have been hiding in the wings and building up a strong resistance to the typical bug exterminating products and techniques.
-
Where Do Bed Bugs Come From?
+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.

What Does a Bed Bug Look Like?
+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.
-
How Do Bed Bugs Spread?
+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.

The Latest Anti-Bed Bug Weaponry from Titan Pest Control

How Does a Bee Colony Grow?

What Does a Rat Look Like?
+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.

+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.
-

Squirrel

-
Relocating a Squirrel Back to Its Natural Habitat
+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.
-
The Most Humane Approach Possible to Evict a Squirrel from Your Home
+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.

Will You Know a Squirrel if You Hear One?
+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.

Titan Pest Control Squirrel Removal and Proofing
+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.
