Mr. Bugg’s Pest Patrol, Inc. was established in 1980 and started as a one man business. Over the past 36 years we have grown to 29 employees but maintain our original goal, to make each customer our top priority. David Kellis, the owner, believes in treating everyone with integrity and respect and has gone to great lengths to instill this philosophy throughout the company. The pest control industry recognized this attribute by electing David as the President of the Alabama Pest Control Association in 2005. The company’s General Manager, Susan Taylor, was recognized as continuing this tradition when the Association voted her the President 2015. We always embrace green technology in the use of any pesticides. Whether we are utilizing baits, residuals or some type of trapping program. Some of the brand name products or systems we use, you may recognize such as: Sentricon, Termidor, Arilon, Top Choice, Suspend, Demon, Tempo, etc. We believe that it is most beneficial to our customers to be as diversified as possible in the ongoing battle against pests. Our goal is to free up our customers’ time and manpower by taking care of their pest control needs as well as providing peace of mind by knowing a licensed company with ongoing training is at their service. Locally owned & operated, bonded & insured. Online payment options available. Additional email - contact@mrbuggs.com. Award winning.

"I have been using Mr. Buggs for 3 years for pest control and have been very pleased. I was using another company for my yard, trugreen, and they were horrible. They basically killed my $10,000 lawn. I decided since the pest control was spot on, I would give the lawn service a try. I met with the gentleman and had a laundry list of concerns about my lawn. I waited patiently, because of all the rain, and sure enough he showed up in a timely manner and remembered everything I said and had a plan for it. It truly is great customer service with a feeling that you matter and are not just another dollar sign."

The Aardwolf is a member of the Hyena family and lives in the plains and open woodland of eastern and southern Africa. It weights between fifteen and thirty-one pounds and feeds primarily on termites, which it hunts at night. The aardwolf's keen hearing helps it locate termites, and its long, sticky tongue licks them right up. ​ Most hyenas have strong teeth and jaws and can eat and digest flesh and bone, but the aardwolf's stubby molars can't chew meat and its jaw is too weak to eat anything other than bugs. ​ Aardwolves are also unlike members of the hyena family in that they forage alone. ​ Aardwolves live in their own burrows or in dens abandoned by other animals. On sunny days they spend most of the morning lying outside, but when it's rainy they might stay in their dens the entire day.

Bug and insect pest control services FAQs

Yes, hiring a pest control pro is a worthwhile investment. A licensed exterminator has the tools, training, and products to effectively eliminate pests and prevent them from returning. While DIY sprays may offer short-term relief, a professional can spot hidden nests, tailor treatments to the exact pest, and help you avoid costly repairs down the road. That combination of speed, precision, and prevention makes the service worth the fee for most homeowners.

Pests that reproduce quickly—think roaches, fleas, ticks, ants, termites, and some spiders—often need routine service. After the initial knock-down visit, your pro may recommend monthly or quarterly follow-ups to keep eggs from hatching and colonies from rebuilding. Ask your technician for a schedule that fits your home and local pest pressure.

Many professional products are pet-safe once they dry, but some formulas and baits can be harmful if a curious cat or dog makes contact too soon. Please inform your technician about the pets you have so they can select the appropriate treatment, set up necessary barricades, and provide you with clear re-entry times. Always follow their post-treatment instructions to keep four-legged family members safe.

Start by cutting off food, water, and easy entry. Keep dry goods in sealed bins, wipe up crumbs fast, and declutter storage areas where bugs love to hide. Outside, repair torn screens, seal gaps around pipes, and trim back vegetation that brushes the house. A quick monthly walk-around to spot new cracks or leaks goes a long way toward keeping pests out for good.

Service frequency hinges on the pest and your location. One-off jobs—like removing a wasp nest—often need just a single visit. Ongoing nuisances such as ants or rodents may call for quarterly or even monthly check-ins. Ask your pro to recommend a cadence that matches local pest cycles and the age of your home, so small issues don’t mushroom into costly fixes later.
