About Bug Busters

In October 1984, Neil Parker started Bug Busters as a full-service pest control company out of the basement of his family home in Acworth, Ga. Some of Bug Busters’ first customers were Parker’s friends from church, some of whom are still customers to this day. By its second year of operation, Bug Busters graduated from the Parker family basement to its first physical location. And the rest, as they say, is history.
