This article has information about common problems with holly: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/holly/diseases-of-holly-bushes-pests-and-diseases-damaging-holly-bushes.htm [1]
As for pesticide, I would recommend neem oil. It works on most insect pests and is safe to use. As a bonus, it’s also an effective fungicide, which should help with any fungal issues caused as a result of the insects. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm [2]
In regards to fertilizing holly, fertilize once a year (preferably in spring) with a balanced fertilizer. There is a fertilizer called Holly-Tone that is specifically made for holly and is very good.
