Meet Jacob “Jake” Ingledue
the Veteran Behind Titan Pest Pro
Titan Pest Pro isn’t a franchise or a call center. It’s a local company built by a U.S. Air Force veteran who believes protecting a family’s home is a responsibility, not a transaction.
From Service to Your Doorstep
Jacob “Jake” Ingledue served in the U.S. Air Force for over three years. Military service drilled in something that doesn’t always survive in service businesses: do the job right, show up when you said you would, and stand behind your work — because people are counting on it.
He started 417 Pest Solutions in 2018 for a simple reason: he kept seeing homes left with unsealed entry points, watered-down treatments, and problems that were never actually solved. It grew because that approach worked.
In 2026, 417 Pest Solutions and Titan Pest & Wildlife Solutions KC joined as Titan Pest Pro — same local owner, same standard, now protecting families across both Springfield and Kansas City for termites, pests, and wildlife. Jake still owns the company and still holds it to the standard he learned in uniform.
We’re local and veteran-founded, and we know the pests that actually pressure homes here — subterranean termites, brown recluse and black widow spiders, and the seasonal patterns specific to our area.
What This Means When We're at Your Door
When you call Titan Pest Pro, the company coming to your home is owned by someone whose name is on it and who built it on accountability. That standard runs all the way down: every technician is background-checked, trained, and held to how Jake would want his own family’s home treated. You’re not letting in a stranger from a national chain — you’re trusting a local, veteran-founded team that answers for its work, proven by 800+ Springfield reviews at 4.9 stars and a 4.9 rating in Kansas City.
Our technicians are W-2 employees — background-checked, licensed, and insured. Not subcontractors, not a rotating crew.
