TERMITE DAMAGE
The Destructive Impact of Termites on Homes
Termites are tiny insects that can cause significant damage to homes. These pests feed on cellulose-containing materials, which are commonly used in the construction of buildings. When left unchecked, termites can cause extensive damage to a home’s structure and compromise its safety.
Termites Cause Structural Damage
Termites can compromise a home’s structural integrity by eating through wood framing, flooring, and support beams. Over time, this can weaken the building, causing it to sag or even collapse. Repairing structural damage caused by termites can be expensive and time-consuming.
Damage to Furniture and Wooden Objects
Termites can also cause damage to furniture and other wooden objects within a home. They can chew through chairs, tables, and cabinets, leaving behind unsightly holes and weakened structures. This can lead to costly repairs or replacement of furniture and other affected items.
Prevention and Treatment
Regular inspections by a professional pest control company can help detect termite infestations early and prevent significant damage. Treatment options include chemical barriers, baiting systems, and fumigation. Preventive measures such as removing wood debris from around the home, repairing leaky pipes, and ensuring proper ventilation can also help deter termites.
Termites can cause significant damage to homes if left unchecked. Structural damage and damage to furniture and wooden objects can lead to costly repairs or replacement. Regular inspections and preventive measures can help detect and prevent termite infestations, protecting your home and your wallet.

We ❤ Our Customers
Don’t take our word for it, see what our satisfied customers have to say about our pest control services.
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 highly recommend Holder’s for any pest control needs you have. I have used them for a while and they always take care of me and keep my house free of insects. If I ever have an issue, I can call and they come right out and handle it. Don’t hesitate to give them a call.
Great experience with DJ from Holder’s! Came out quickly, discussed our options and gave us a fair price. Work completed shortly after first visit. Professional, kind and trust worthy!
Bat & Rodent free in two visits. DJ was exceptionally quick and productive in the removal and sanitation process! Many neighbors have recommended Holder’s and so do we.
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 were true professionals and did a great job squirrel-proofing my rental house. They arrived on time, consulted with me as they worked and finished in a timely fashion. Would def recommend.
DJ was absolutely awesome. He went above and beyond to meet the needs of our home. I highly recommend him and Holder's Pest & Wildlife.
Mark is exceptionally trustworthy and professional. He quickly eliminated a critter problem in our large attic space. I highly recommend him for any kind of pest control services.
DJ and Wes were great. Handled my pest issue quickly and efficiently. This company is truly a blessing to anyone that needs help with any type of pest. Superb service and staff.

DJ and Wes went above and beyond providing exclusion for our home. They made sure every entry point was taken care of and made improvements to ensure that the house is in better condition than before.
Look forward to working with them again in the future!

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.
I discovered I had illegal tenants (mice) in my crawl space. I was referred to Holder and they came the next day to investigate. They were able to schedule a treatment visit within 2 days. Upon arrival, I was completely impressed with Dj and Wes professionalism and customer service. I would definitely recommend Holder!
DJ was fantastic! He was very professional, efficient, and clearly knew what he was doing. He took care of everything quickly and made the whole process easy and stress-free.
We've used Holder's Pest & Wildlife a few times, and we continue to be very happy with their services. Mike was professional and extremely helpful in investigating our current issue and explaining the process for sealing our attic from unwelcome guests. DJ was very polite and worked very hard and efficiently to complete the job. We will continue to use Holder's for future issues and love that it is a family-owned company!
DJ and Wes did a great job. I like their work ethic. They came and got the job done. Also they were real friendly
Big thank you to Dj and Wes with holders, they did a quick and outstanding job working on our house! Explained everything to us and let us ask all the questions we had. Best sealing work we’ve had done over the last years! 100% recommend!
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 from Holder's came to service our home for a potential rat issue we were experiencing. They were both very friendly, professional, and explained specific aspects of their process, including their repair of our crawlspace door. Would highly recommend.
5 Stars for Holder's Pest & Wildlife Service! We used them for squirrel removal and are extremely happy with the results. The entire process, from booking and the estimate to the actual work and follow-up, was handled with great professionalism and customer care. Our technicians, DJ (David) and Wesley, were fantastic – always punctual, skilled, great at explaining the process, and always thorough with cleanup. Their reliable follow-through was particularly appreciated. Excellent workmanship and truly outstanding service. Highly recommend!
DJ & Wes are excellent! They arrived on time, were courteous & respectful, did a thorough review of our house, & found the source of the wasps. Highly recommend!

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!
DJ and Wes did a fabulous job for us today they did it very professionally and we're very engaging with all the questions I had.
They appear to be great employees that you were fortunate to have

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.
