The show “Billy the Exterminator” was canceled after its seventh season. It featured Billy Bretherton dealing with various types of animal removals.
Initially airing in 2009, “Billy the Exterminator” showcased the professional life of Billy Bretherton, a pest control expert and owner of Vexcon Animal and Pest Control in Louisiana. The show gained popularity for its unique blend of pest control adventures and the flamboyant personality of its star, who often donned a leather jacket and bandana.
The series was a hit on A&E and ran for six seasons on the network before moving to the Country Music Television (CMT) channel for its seventh season. However, after the seventh season, the show was not renewed for further episodes. The reasons for cancellation were not officially stated, but it is speculated that declining viewership and changes in the network’s programming direction may have contributed to the decision.
Additionally, Billy faced some legal issues in 2012, which might have impacted the show’s future. He was arrested in Louisiana on drug possession charges, but the case was resolved with a plea deal. Despite the show’s end, Billy Bretherton continues to work in pest control and maintains a presence on social media, where he engages with fans and shares insights into his life and work.
