Billy Bretherton, otherwise known as Billy the Exterminator is an expert in the field
of pest control and is a huge proponent of natural methods of control.
Billy started his career in the field of Entomology in the United States Air Force. However, his intent at the time was to be in law enforcement or special ops. After being honorably discharged he spent 5 years with a leading industry entomologist. He also has completed 2 years of training with Purdue University. He currently holds a Master's Certificate for Termite Control from LSU.
His views on using natural ways of pest removal come from an accidental poisoning while he was still in the United States Air Force. He was working in a crawl space when the dusting machine was accidently turned on covering him in insecticide. This caused him to have severe vomiting and gave him the unique view of what it's like to be poisoned.
You can also call Billy the family man; he works with his family, friends and employees on his show Billy the Exterminator, a spinoff of his Dirty Jobs appearance. His mother handles dispatch and his brother Ricky working jobs on and off camera. Billy's wife was seen on season one, but has resigned from the show.

His company Vexcon, is also one of the only companies in Louisiana to handle all kinds of animal control. He has been seen trapping foxes, catching enormous snakes, and squirrels in your fireplace. Billy certainly is one unique individual with a lot to learn from.
