The Bug N A Rug Team

A Little History

Founded by Sue and Elliott Hollingsworth, we opened our doors on March 1st, 1996 with 2 employees and one office. Within 25 years, we have grown into 80 employees and 3 locations across Southeastern NC. By year-end 2020, we were named by Pest Control Technology Magazine as one of the Top 100 pest control companies in the United States and have been named as such every year thereafter. 

Now owned and operated by their son Stan Hollingsworth, Bug-N-A-Rug’s roots run deep in the Wilmington NC area. Stan, a boating enthusiast, takes pride in captaining a local family-owned company where people can come and be successful, have educational opportunities, and grow within.

Reviews
5 Star Review

Bug-N-A-Rug customer service is top notch. Danny, the service manager, was supremely attentive to my needs. We were under a termite bond and when termites showed up (these things happen) Danny did everything he could to make it right. In fact, when the insurance company was dragging their feet Danny was able to move things forward so that I was not left waiting. He recommended a great repairman and even gave me my next pest treatment for free which I was not expecting nor did I ask for. Extremely impressed.

The office staff explained the plan and the services offered. Travis was punctual, polite, professional and thorough. He explained what he was doing.

These guys were great! About 10 months ago I had a bed bug problem. They came in, assessed the situation, brought their heating machines, and hit the entire 3000 sq ft apt ! Then, when a few bugs survived and showed up again inside the 2 week waiting period, they came BACK and finished the job. Very impressive customer service and the owner was great! Thanks!
