Billy Bretherton, also known as Billy the Exterminator, had some family issues that became public. His parents, Bill Sr. and Donnie, were integral parts of the show, but they eventually left the series. The family also faced legal troubles when Billy and his brother Ricky were arrested in 2012 on drug possession charges.
Billy Bretherton rose to fame with his reality TV show “Billy the Exterminator,” which showcased his pest control business and often featured his family members. The show was popular for its blend of pest control action and family dynamics. Billy’s parents, Bill Sr. and Donnie, were regularly seen on the show, contributing to the family business with their own roles.
However, after several seasons, Billy’s parents were no longer part of the show. The reasons for their departure were not publicly detailed, but it is not uncommon for family members to step back from reality TV due to the stress and exposure it can bring.
In 2012, Billy and his brother Ricky faced legal issues when they were arrested in Louisiana for possession of synthetic marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. This incident brought negative attention to the family and their business. Following the arrest, Billy left Louisiana and eventually moved to Illinois, where he started a new pest control business.
Despite these challenges, Billy has continued his work in pest control and has maintained a presence in the public eye, albeit less prominently than during the height of his show’s popularity. The family’s legal troubles and the changes in their business and personal lives have undoubtedly affected them, but they have also shown resilience in moving forward.
