WOODSTOCK, Ga. - s4story -- October 1st marks the 40^th anniversary of Bug Busters, Inc. – one of Georgia's leading family-owned pest control companies. The brainchild of founder Neil Parker, Bug Busters began in the basement of his family home in Acworth. Reminiscing on the company's history and major milestone, Parker said, "After 40 years, I'm proud of the fact that we are still here."

Today, Bug Busters is guided by Neil's children, Court Parker as CEO, and Daphne Bertholf as CFO. The company has grown from a one-man operation to one of the largest pest control companies in the southeast with branches in Georgia and Tennessee. While pest control methods have improved significantly over the past four decades, Bug Busters remains committed to Neil's original vision of treating customers like family. The key to the company's growth is simple, Bertholf says, "Have the right people in the right seats and give customers the best experience possible."
