About the Bug Man
I'm John, and I've been doing this for 35 years.
I started The Bug Man Environmental Services in 2009 to do things the way I think they ought to be done. Show up when I say I will, treat your home like it's my own, and stand behind the work.
We're a small, family-owned operation, not a chain. For general pest control, we use green products on the exterior of your home, so it's safe for your kids and pets. We also handle fire ant and yard treatments.
When you call, you get me, not a call center. That's the way we like it, and I think you will too.
