Atlanta, Ga.-based Bug Busters celebrated its 40th anniversary on Oct. 1. Bug Busters was founded by Neil Parker in the basement of his family home in Acworth, Ga. 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.

”After 40 years, I’m proud of the fact that we are still here,” Parker said while reflecting on the milestone.

Today, Bug Busters is led by Neil’s children, Court Parker as CEO and Daphne Bertholf as CFO. In a news release, Court Parker said he is optimistic about the future of Bug Busters and the pest control industry.

“I consider myself a caretaker of what my father started in 1984,” he explained. “Connections — whether with our customers, our team members, our vendors or our local community members — are at the heart of what we do. Neil’s legacy is teaching Bug Busters the importance of every interaction and to value it.”
