SCHOOL PEST CONTROL SHOULD LOOK DIFFERENT
Safety, Communication and Prevention Come First
Classrooms aren’t warehouses.
Play areas aren’t loading docks.
School kitchens, cafeterias, lockers, storage rooms and playgrounds each create different considerations.
Hollenbeck has earned QualityPro Schools certification, which requires additional training and standards for pest management in educational environments.
Schools & Day Care ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Catching a mouse doesn’t necessarily explain how it entered. Hollenbeck evaluates rodent activity along with potential access points around the structure.
Protect your business from unwanted ant and cockroach infestations. Our targeted treatments address existing pest activity while helping prevent future infestations in commercial buildings and shared spaces.
Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers and can remain concealed in very small spaces. We provide professional inspection and bed bug treatment designed around the extent of the infestation.
Wasps, hornets, yellowjackets and other stinging insects become a serious nuisance when nests are located around entrances, decks, walkways or other places people regularly use.
Exterior Tick & Mosquito Programs
Make your commercial outdoor spaces more comfortable with targeted tick and mosquito treatments. Our recurring programs focus on high-risk areas around your property to help reduce pest populations throughout the season.
Overgrown landscaping and vegetation can create ideal conditions for pests. We identify and address pest-prone areas around your property, helping reduce harborage sites and minimize pest activity near your facility.

- I had a great home inspection from Hollenbeck Pest Control. The technician's name was Danielle. She was well informed and extremely patient. She took the time… to explain what the risks were with certain pest's presence and what services Hollenbeck offered to help. She was so well versed in pest control in general and exactly what Hollenbeck 's policies and procedures are in a myriad of scenarios, that I signed up for the annual protection package.
- We've been with Hollenbeck many years now and have never had a bad experience. Our technician, Max, was extremely polite and addressed all of our concerns! Max… throughly explained everything he planned to do, everywhere he sprayed and even told us specific places he thought we should keep an eye on. He has been to our location before and is always a pleasure to work with!
- Rob was on time and very thorough. He explained the corrective process and the 3 levels of service. Rob was knowledgeable and I hope to work with him again.
- We are quite pleased with the service call by Rob D. From Hollenbeck Pest Control today. Rob was early for our appointment, pleasant and very knowledgeable. … This was our first experience with a pesky mouse and he explained the steps to take to prevent any further unwelcome critter visits. Rob came to assess the situation but was then able to service our issue. At this time we feel more comfortable in our home and welcome the follow-ups. Hollenbeck was recommended to us and now we highly recommend them.
- I want to sing the praises of Nora the person who helped me with our pest challenge. She was kind, empathetic and reassured me and gave an action plan to… try. The owners of Hollenbeck are so fortunate to have her as the initial contact for future customers! Thank you for your kindness Nora!
- Excellent, timely, attentive service with good follow up to make sure we were satisfied. Also best pricing. The best!!

As in the past they showed up, explained my… options, offered reasonable solutions, and treated the problem. Fernando was extremely knowledgeable, personable and careful. He took my concerns into consideration when formulating a plan. A++
- Office staff are lovely and got us scheduled right away! Danielle was our technician and she gave us some great information and advice moving forward.
- I ended up at Hollenbeck Pest Control the other day and had a really great experience. The office staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and took the time to… answer all of my questions without rushing me. You can tell right away that they genuinely care about the people they’re helping. As someone who also owns a pest control business, I pay close attention to how companies operate—and this one stands out. The way they treat customers and how professionally everything is handled speaks volumes about how the company is run. It’s not often you come across a team like this. Truly good people, and I would strongly recommend Hollenbeck Pest Control based on this experience alone.
- Great experience with pest inspection and services. Rob is professional, friendly and takes the time to explain everything to me. Office staff (Tiffany) is also… very friendly and helpful. I def recommend!
- Robert D. Came out to my home today to assess my house and offer services. Since I live in a log cabin, it was important that we attack the wood eating and… burrowing insects. I was also worried about my dogs and all the birds I seem to attract. He was so thorough in his explanation about the services and what insects I really need to look out for, so I wound up signing up for a program right there on the spot. Robert was great to talk to and work with. Thank you for the great service Robert and I'll see you again soon!
- Thank you for a wonderful job. I had a hornets nest in a tree hanging into street. I called Hollenbeck because of their great reviews and now I am completely… satisfied too.

I an very happy with Hollenbeck and if I ever have any other pest issues I will call then first.

- Fantastic service. They came within 2 hours of my calling and took care of a large wasp nest quickly and safely. Highly recommend.
- I returned home from vacation to find yellow jackets flying around my basement. It was Saturday, but I called Hollenbeck, who I’ve had a service plan with for… the last few years, hoping to schedule an appointment when they opened the following week. Much to my surprise, they said they could dispatch someone same day for a nominal fee. The tech, Robert D., did a great job with a challenging situation involving a huge yellow jacket nest that infiltrated the foundation of my home, taking the time to explain every step he was taking to resolve the problem. I’ve been very satisfied with Hollenbeck in the past, and this experience further reinforces that I’m dealing with the most professional pest control company in the area. I appreciate both the quick response time (same day on a Saturday!) and the quality of the customer service provided in the field. Would strongly recommend. A+++
- Max and Danielle are awesome! This company exemplifies kindness and professionalism. The technicians and office are great. I have had nothing but great experiences
- Rob came to our home to treat for any ants and mice. He was so knowledgeable and very nice. I will be requesting him again for our next service.
Schools & Daycare Pest Control Across the Hudson Valley
Prevention Works Better Than Emergency Pest Control During the School Day
A rodent sighting during lunch immediately becomes more complicated.
A wasp nest near a playground is different from one in an unused corner of a commercial property.
Bed bugs brought into a classroom require calm identification and communication—not stigma.
Educational pest management must account for children, schedules, staff and the sensitive nature of the environment.
Cafeterias Need Food-Service Thinking
Food delivery, kitchens, spills and waste management create restaurant-like conditions inside a school.
Lockers and Storage Areas Need Inspection
Spaces that remain undisturbed can conceal activity.
Outdoor Areas Matter
Playgrounds, athletic areas and building perimeters can experience stinging insects, ticks, mosquitoes, rodents and wildlife.
Communication Prevents Overreaction
A pest sighting should trigger an established procedure so administration knows who to call and what information to collect.
Schools & Day Care Pest ControlFAQs
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray them?
Sprays may kill visible worker ants without eliminating the colony responsible for the activity. If the nest remains active, additional ants can continue appearing.
What ants are common in the Hudson Valley?
Several ant species can become problems around Hudson Valley properties, including carpenter ants, pavement ants, and other common household ants. Proper identification is important because treatment strategies can vary by species.
Are carpenter ants dangerous to my home?
Carpenter ants don’t eat wood like termites, but they excavate wood to create nesting galleries. Established colonies inside structural wood can cause damage over time and may be associated with moisture problems.
How can I tell the difference between carpenter ants and termites?
Carpenter ants and termites differ in appearance and behavior. Carpenter ants excavate wood for nesting, while termites consume cellulose. Because both can indicate a potentially serious pest issue, professional identification is recommended.
Do you treat ants inside and outside?
Yes. Depending on the infestation, ant control may involve interior activity, exterior nesting areas, entry points, or a combination of treatments.
Does Hollenbeck offer ongoing ant prevention?
Yes. Hollenbeck offers preventative service plans covering more than 30 standard pests for customers who want ongoing protection.
