How ShieldPest Started
Built Because Pest Control Got Too Corporate.
After years inspecting homes from Buckhead and Brookhaven to Decatur, Marietta, Smyrna and Sandy Springs, Mike saw the same pattern too often: large companies rushing appointments, pushing recurring plans before understanding the problem, and treating every home like a number on a route sheet.
ShieldPest was created as the opposite kind of local pest control company in Atlanta. The work starts with a real inspection, a clear explanation of what is happening, and a treatment plan that solves the root cause instead of only spraying the symptom.
That means fewer shortcuts, fewer pushy sales tactics, and more attention to long-term prevention: sealing rodent entry points, reducing moisture pressure, identifying nesting areas, and choosing family-safe treatment options that fit the home.
Why Homeowners Trust Us
Local Service Standards That Still Mean Something.
ShieldPest is built for homeowners who want the problem handled correctly, not just quickly.
Family-Safe Treatments
Our technicians explain preparation, re-entry guidance, and treatment choices before service begins.
Fast Communication
Same-day scheduling when available, clear arrival windows, and direct answers from a local team.
Thorough Inspections
We check entry points, moisture, nesting zones, attic and crawl-space risks, and exterior pressure.
Long-Term Prevention
Our goal is to reduce repeat activity through exclusion, monitoring, perimeter protection, and practical home guidance.
No Pushy Sales Tactics
You get honest recommendations, not scare tactics. If a service is not needed, we will say so.

The Owner Still Checks the Details.
Mike Holloway is not a distant name on a website. He is the owner-operator behind ShieldPest, and his standards shape how every appointment is handled. Before founding the company, Mike spent more than 15 years in residential pest management across Metro Atlanta, working inside real homes with real pest pressure: roaches in kitchens, mosquitoes in shaded yards, termites in damp soil, and rodents finding gaps most homeowners never notice.
He built ShieldPest for homeowners who want a technician to listen, inspect, explain, and solve the problem without rushing to the next stop. Mike's approach is practical and direct: identify the pest, find why it is there, treat the active issue, and help prevent it from coming back.
"Great pest control is not about selling the biggest plan. It is about earning trust in the first 10 minutes and keeping it after the job is done."
Mike Holloway, Founder of ShieldPest Pest Control
Service Philosophy
We Focus on Prevention, Not Just Spraying.
Spraying without inspection can make a pest problem look better for a few days while the source keeps growing. ShieldPest uses an inspection-first mindset that connects treatment to the reason pests are showing up.
That can mean sealing rodent entry points, reducing moisture around kitchens and crawl spaces, treating nesting areas, identifying termite risk zones, or building a mosquito plan around shade, standing water and outdoor living areas.
Identify the Root Cause
We look beyond visible pests to find entry points, moisture, food sources and nesting behavior.
Treat With Precision
Modern integrated pest management helps us choose the right method for the pest, home and family.
Prevent the Next Visit
Exclusion, monitoring and homeowner guidance reduce recurring infestations.
