The person who I talked to was very nice and took care of me right away. The next day, J called and actually came out earlier than my appointment time which was great.

He did a very thorough job spraying around the house and took care not to spray personal items. He placed a bunch of glue traps in problem areas also.

Brandon Curry ★★★★★ I've been running a bed and breakfast for 10 years, thankfully without any pest problems, until last night when I came home and saw a cockroach for the first time. Panicked, sent out inquiries, and Titan showed up and began treating the entire interior and exterior of this enormous house this morning within 10 hours of sending the initial message. Jay was an awesome technician, he signed us up for a plan that was not only going to treat and eliminate the current cockroach threat, but also included one that covers the perpetual mosquito issues we've had. Everything was explained well, and future visits already scheduled. I'm happy not to have to deal with the anxiety of wondering if bugs are always around, and I'm truly pleased guests won't have their comfort and experience ruined by seeing a bug scurry through their room.Response from the ownerHi, Brandon. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it! Brandyn Routt ★★★★★ Very professional, thorough and reasonably priced.

Affton Christian Church ★★★★★ We needed the kitchen exhaust vent and hood cleaned. When looking for a company to do it, Gateway Commercial Cleaning (a company under the umbrella of Titan Pest) had the best reviews. When I spoke to them they were more friendly and helpful than any of the other companies I checked out. Their price was good and they were very quick in coming out to take a look and give a quote. They were also fast when setting up an appointment and having someone come out and do the work. Everyone I dealt with in the process was just wonderful to work with. We highly recommend them and have contracted with them to perform our yearly cleaning.Response from the ownerHi, Affton. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us! Barry and melissa Carter ★★★★★ I wanted to put a review in for Jennifer who answers the phone . She is always so sweet and helpful. Today she talked back and forth with the owner to get my questions answered. A week ago I had put in a bad review mostly out of frustration because we have a continued snake issue and have had 20 plus small snakes in our basement and garage over the last few months which is unnerving to say the least. We have had random holes and went from voles to groundhogs possibly etc it’s been a whirlwind . So out of frustration I wrote a bad review after finding out how much the ground hog removal would cost . I have removed that review. I understand that it’s a business and you all need to make money. I am just overwhelmed with not being comfortable in my own home but I do appreciate Jennifer always getting answers and being kind when I’m so unnerved. I understand that you all are trying things that you know to do and I’m going to keep praying that we figure out where these snakes are getting in from.Response from the ownerThank you so much! Kitel Bug ★★★★★ J was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable about pest control. His approach for presenting solutions is reassuring my pest problem will be resolved. It may take weeks to months but it bottom line it will be resolvedResponse from the ownerHi, Kitel. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review! Brysan DuVall ★★★★★ Titan was great! Our initial assessment and consult was done by Jay - he was super cool and knowledgeable. Our technician that did the treatment was Dre - he was prompt, really cool guy, and treated our home quickly and efficientlyResponse from the ownerHi, Brysan. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Why Pests are Attracted to Solar Panels
Pests are drawn to solar panels for various reasons:
Warmth: Solar panels generate and retain heat, appealing to birds and rodents searching for a cozy nesting place.
Shelter: The space under solar panels offers protection from weather conditions and predators, which is ideal for nesting.
Food Sources: Areas around solar panels can be abundant with food, especially if installed near natural habitats or vegetation.
Types of Pests That Threaten Solar Panels
Birds: Species like pigeons and sparrows may nest under panels, causing obstructions.
Rodents: Creatures such as squirrels and mice are known to chew through electrical wiring and insulation.
Insects: Bees, wasps, and ants can build nests in or near solar installations, which can lead to further issues.
Impact of Pests on Solar Panels
Pests can create significant issues for solar panels, primarily through physical damage and reduced efficiency. Physical damage caused by pests includes dislodged wires, surface scratches, and corrosion from droppings. These forms of damage not only impair the structural integrity of the solar panels but can also lead to costly repairs needed to restore functionality.
Additionally, pests can severely impact the efficiency of solar panels. Materials from nests, droppings, and other debris can accumulate on the solar cells, blocking their exposure to sunlight. This obstruction significantly decreases the panels’ ability to generate energy, thus reducing the overall output of the solar system. Such disturbances underscore the importance of effective pest control measures to maintain solar energy systems’ longevity and productivity.
Preventive Measures and Solutions
Implementing effective pest control measures is vital to protecting solar panels:
Physical Barriers: Mesh screens or spikes can prevent pests from accessing the panels.
Chemical Repellents: Sprays designed to deter pests without damaging the panels can be effective.
Ultrasonic Devices: Emit sounds that are unpleasant to pests but harmless to humans and pets.
Professional Pest Control Services
To provide comprehensive protection of solar panels, professional pest control services take a multifaceted approach that addresses both immediate and long-term concerns. Initially, the focus is on nest removal, where trained professionals meticulously remove any existing nests and implement preventative measures to deter future nesting. This step is crucial for eliminating immediate threats. Subsequent measures include installing protective installations, such as custom-fitted mesh or physical barriers. These installations are specifically designed to keep pests at bay while maintaining the functionality of the solar panels.
In addition to these measures, the services incorporate regular inspections to help identify potential vulnerabilities early. These inspections are vital components in the following:
Supporting the ongoing effectiveness of existing pest control measures.
Identifying new risks or areas of concern that may require additional attention.
Confirming the integrity and optimal functioning of protective installations over time.
This structured approach supports the protective strategies continuing to function as intended, safeguarding the solar panels against future pest-related damages.
Selecting a Pest Control Provider
When choosing the right pest control provider, several factors should be considered:
Expertise in Solar Installations: Look for providers with specialized knowledge of solar panels and their specific challenges with pests.
Eco-Friendly Options: Opt for sustainable services, reducing ecological impact while managing pest issues.
Maintenance Offerings: Choose companies that offer comprehensive maintenance plans. These plans cover regular inspections and follow-up treatments to help maintain protection over time.
By considering these factors, you can select a pest control provider that meets the specific needs of your solar panel system and supports durable and effective pest control solutions while aligning with broader environmental goals and maintenance requirements.
Solar panel pest control is essential for anyone invested in solar energy. It protects the longevity and efficiency of solar panels, providing that the system operates efficiently while safeguarding the investment. With the increasing reliance on solar power, the importance of effective pest control measures cannot be overstated, making it a vital component of solar panel maintenance.
