You know those warnings about not going swimming less than a half hour after eating? The same caution applies here: You might want to get as much distance between you and mealtime before watching this A&E reality (creep)show. Roaches and mice and defecating turkeys (oh my!) are business as usual for leather-clad, mullet-maned Billy Bretherton and the crew of Louisiana-based Vexcon pest control. Each episode finds Billy and company--wife Mary, brother Ricky, father "Big" Bill, and formidable mother Donnie--tackling some off-the-wall (or in some cases, inside-the-wall and under-the-floorboards) pest problem or infestation. Billy, first introduced on episodes of Dirty Jobs, has a distinct Southern accent, but he is fluent in reali-tease. "An easy job just got trickier," he states in one episode in which he tries to wrangle some wild raccoons. In another, he supplies this major understatement: "If those are killer bees, we are going to be in serious danger." The personal dramas (the return of Ricky's ex-wife, interfering mama, discord between Billy and Mary) are not nearly as compelling as the creepily fascinating footage of Billy's too-close encounters with killer bobcats, closet-lurking snakes, and the like. Billy's appearance may be gothic (he wears a skull mask while handling bees), but he is more into benevolently relocating animals than killing them. And there is nothing more interesting than expertise. Billy knows his stuff. "I feel good knowing he's in there checking things out," one relieved homeowner states. Bonus features include brand-building segments devoted to Billy's "words of wisdom," his home, and members of the family. --Donald Liebenson

Billy rocks, and so do Big Bill, Ricky, and Donnie!, Dec 24 2010
By Ed Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Billy The Exterminator - Season 1 (DVD)
When I saw my first episode of "Billy the Exterminator," I was instantly hooked! Just how cool is it to watch someone tackle pests like giant yellow jacket nests, bobcats, and hoards of bats up in someone's attic? At first these type situations were the draw, then I starting noticing something as the episodes progressed. Billy is actually a very cool and sweet guy - he obviously cares about his family, he cares about his work, and a couple of times I've fought back a tear or two watching him help, as an example, a family of three kids who'd recently lost their mom. They had a huge roach infestation problem, one beyond my ability to aptly describe here. Billy not only treated the problem and corrected it, he did so gratis and even gave the kids autographs when they asked him for them. In the end, this is what makes Billy and what's destroyed Kate Gosselin - Billy is real. I predict that "Billy the Exterminator" will run for 4-7 years, and after its run Billy will still be at Vexcon happily running the family business. It appears that he knows who he is, his priorities are what they ought to be, and his compassion and humor show through in every single episode.And hey, before I forget - Big Bill is funny as hell, he has a very dry sense of humor. Ricky and Billy together deliver classic lines in some sequences ("This is the Vexcon totem pole of death!"), and Donnie is a classy, mature lady, she's even kinda hot!
Billy rocks - check this season one and you'll understand why!

This was another surprise birthday gift for may daughter. We watch this show together all the time. She loves when they catch the animals and looking at the snakes and bats. I like when they kill the bugs. I can't stand bugs, but it's cool too see them on TV where they're not trying to kill me. I got it for a great price here and it's a good set of shows too. Good stuff!

I happen to love this show, it is also a learning experience. It is informative, exciting and fun to watch. I never miss it when it is one TV. I am now about to order Season 2. I highly recommend it to people who love animals.
