FLEA & TICK CONTROL

DIY Flea & Tick Control is Not Enough

Many people try to take care of flea and tick problems themselves, but DIY methods are often not enough to completely eradicate the problem. Fleas and ticks can lay eggs and hide in hard-to-reach places, making it difficult for homeowners to fully get rid of them. Additionally, many DIY methods are not safe for pets or children, and can even make the problem worse by driving fleas and ticks deeper into the carpet or furniture.

The Risks of Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks are not just small and bothersome pests, they also pose significant health risks to both humans and pets. Fleas can cause discomfort, itching, and even lead to infections, while ticks are notorious carriers of dangerous diseases that can cause long-term health issues. Here are some of the risks associated with fleas and ticks that you should be aware of:

  • Risks of Fleas: Flea bites can be painful, itchy, and may cause infection, particularly if the person or pet has an allergic reaction to flea saliva. In some cases, they can also lead to more severe health problems such as tapeworms and cat scratch fever.
  • Risks of Ticks: Ticks are responsible for transmitting a number of serious illnesses to both humans and pets. Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and tick paralysis are just a few examples of tick-borne illnesses that can cause flu-like symptoms, joint pain, and even neurological damage.

The Dangers to Pets

As pet owners, it is important to be aware of the potential dangers that fleas and ticks pose to our furry friends. Flea and tick infestations can cause a range of health issues in pets, including anemia, skin infections, and tick-borne illnesses. Here are some of the risks that pets face:

  • Flea infestations can cause anemia in pets, particularly young animals. Fleas feed on their blood, causing a loss of red blood cells and leading to weakness, lethargy, and pale gums.
  • Flea allergy dermatitis is a common condition that affects pets and can cause severe itching, hair loss, and skin infections. This condition occurs when pets are allergic to flea saliva, and just one bite can trigger a reaction that lasts for weeks.
  • Ticks can transmit a variety of diseases to pets, just as they can to humans. Pets that spend a lot of time outdoors, particularly in wooded areas or fields, are at a higher risk for tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and ehrlichiosis.

Why Professional Pest Control is Important

While it may be tempting to try and deal with a flea or tick infestation on your own, professional pest control services are often necessary to ensure complete elimination of these pests. Here are some reasons why it is important to consider hiring a professional pest control company:

  • Flea and tick infestations can be difficult to eradicate on your own. These pests can reproduce quickly and lay eggs in hard-to-reach areas, making it difficult to completely eliminate them without professional help.
  • Over-the-counter flea and tick products can be harmful to pets and people if not used properly. Professional pest control companies use safe and effective products that are specially formulated to eliminate fleas and ticks without harming your family or pets.
  • Professional pest control companies offer ongoing maintenance plans that can help prevent future infestations and keep your home and pets safe from pests.

Dj and Scott arrived on time and were very professional and polite! Took care of our squirrel problem. Would definitely use Holder’s again! Thank you!

DJ and Scott arrived when they said they would. We had a pest containment done to our home by the sellers when we purchased and then recently had new gutters added. Needed to re-secure the home. They fixed the areas that needed to be secured, reset the traps in the attic and went above and beyond the job by cleaning out my gutters on the one side of the house. Love Holder Pest and their team.

We had an issue with squirrels getting into our commercial unit. DJ & Scott came out to take care of it. They quickly identified the entry point and sealed it off. The work was done fast, professionally, and with great attention to detail. They explained everything clearly. Highly recommend them if you're dealing with any kind of pest problem.

Holders Pest & Wildlife Services are number One. They took care of the bats in the attic vent by removing them and sealing both attic vents with galvanized steel mesh square screening. Done the proffessional way. Thank you DJ and Scott for your detailed work.

Will continually support this business. Scott and DJ came today to do the exclusion. This is our first experience with this company. They were professional. They were friendly. They answered all our questions, and went over everything that was done. They completed the job in a timely fashion, which we appreciated as we had a busy day. Thank you Holder's Pest and Wildlife Services. Thank you DJ and Scott! You were exceptional.

I want to give a 5 star review for Mr Holder and his employee TJ. They have been incredibly professional and have gone above and beyond to solve my wildlife problems. They are the fourth Pest Control Company I have tried in the last several years that has finally done what they promised and without compromise. So glad to have them taking care of my home and property.

I called Holder's Pest Services, and the receptionist Felicia was very kind and understanding. She didn't have any technicians available til a few days later, but with my request, she accommodated me the same day I called. The technician was Mark, who is also the owner. He was very kind, patient and helpful. I had a few holes in my back yard, and he assured me that they were not anything serious. He recommended some over the counter remedies I could do myself. I also got rats up in the attic, plus some holes around my house that needs sealant. He gave me a reasonable quote, and did not pressure me at all. He is such a nice, and honest person with excellent customer service. I look forward to using his services. I recommend them 100%.

Appreciated being able to set up an appointment for next day service. DJ came out and helped me tackle a Yellowjacket nest near the top of my roof and did a great job. Was careful and considerate.

DJ came out and quickly figured out where the rats were coming into our house from. He closed it up and checked the whole rest of the house for entryways for rodents. He was very helpful and friendly.

I had a great experience with Holder’s and DJ was awesome! I got quotes from 4 companies and Holder’s was the only one I felt was honest and straightforward with me. When DJ came out for the inspection, he was thorough and walked around the attic (which no other company did) and the crawlspace. When he returned to complete the work, he went above and beyond to make sure my questions were answered and concerns were addressed. I happily recommend Holder’s and DJ specifically!

Holders are simply great. I utilized their services 5 years ago for critter control and got the entire area galvanized after removing the critters. The critters came back after 4 years which they often do due to smell unless we remove the entire fill in the attic and clean it thoroughly. They offer very affordable yearly warranty which we did not take originally. They gave me a good price to match the warranty for all these years retroactively and saved me quite a good bit. DJ from their team specially deserves a shout out for his agility, professionalism, courtesy and friendliness. He is now helping me with attic insulation project on behalf of Holders working on my quote and I am pretty sure he will again do a great job. In a nutshell, if I want cost effective quality service with professional delivery, I would save time and revert back to them always.

DJ and Wes with Holders pest and wildlife services went above and beyond with our bat problem today! They were very informative, even showing me what they were installing to prevent them coming from back. They put my mind at ease and did so with professionalism and kindness, even when I asked a million questions in the 90+ degree heat.

DJ and Wes came out to my house and did a wonderful job. Their price was competitive and they guaranteed the work. Showed me photos to understand what they did and assured me they stood behind their work if future issues came up. They worked in my home while I wasn’t there so they’re trustworthy and provided a very professional experience. Don’t hesitate to call Holders and ask for DJ to get the job done.

DJ did an excellent job taking care of our home! We just moved to the area and the critters have decided to show up too. Holder's was able to treat my home on the same day I called. DJ even called to come out earlier than expected. I can't speak to the results yet, but the initial experience has been outstanding.

DJ and Wes did an exclusion for us and we could not be happier with the result. Both were very friendly and professional and helped us additionally prevent our annual woodpecker from coming back. We've used Holder's in the past and have always been happy with the results. The work is good, and the prices are fair. Can't recommend Holder's enough!

Great experience! Mark is knowledgeable and fair. Very communicative! I knew exactly when his guys were coming and about what time. Benji and DJ did a great job of addressing all the areas of my home where I had gaps that were allowing squirrels into my attic. They were pleasant, efficient and accommodating. Strongly recommend this company.

Called Holders to remove an unknown critter from my house. Benji came out to do my inspection. He was personable, answered all my questions, and gave me a fair price for sealing my house and removal of the pest. He and DJ came back to do the work a couple days later. They were quick and thorough and sensitive to the fact that I had a sleeping newborn. Highly recommend.

Ricky and DJ with Holders Pest & Wildlife services performed our routine service today 9/2022. They were professional, courteous, attentive and appeared to be a good team. Ricky listened and addressed any of my concerns. I can't leave out Felicia, the receptionist, she is phenomenal! She's professional, understanding and willing to work with our schedule so that it's convenient on both sides. She's a keeper & we're grateful for her. Holders Pest & Wildlife has serviced our home for over 3 yrs and have remedied issues from mice, mites, stick bugs, ants
and spiders. Being backed up to woods and a creek, we encounter a variety of creatures from time to time. I must add, although there's been a few staff changes over this time period, they still managed to provide good service each visit. Thank you for respecting our request of wearing your facial mask and shoe covers every visit! 🙂

We had a rodent problem and we chose Holder’s to do the job over our current brand name exterminator. I had a fantastic experience from the moment I called their number. The lady who took the call was very sweet and knowledgeable about the many questions I asked. Then she connected me directly with the technician, Benji, who would be coming out for the inspection. He too was so sweet and accommodating to our needs.

I thought his initial inspection was done in a very professional manner. The quote and his explanation of the costs were straightforward and at no point, did he try to upsell me. The job was done in a few hours and cleanup was also done well. Benji also does a great job following up and keeping me informed.

It’s definitely pricey but very much worth it to have peace of mind. It will save you from other more costly issues in the future. So far haven’t had any issues since they left.? I really liked the hands-on approach and general vibe of this company. There’s something personal about their touch that you don’t get from larger brand name companies.

We had a pest issue in the attic decided to hire Holder Pest to take a look. They were able to handle the issue with speed, professionalism and effectiveness. Their prices were fair and they offer a one year warranty. Ricky and Benji were very friendly and helpful with the entire process. Thanks again. Would recommend both for any pest issues you may have.
