Our Story

Ivey Exterminating, Inc., also known as Bug Ivey, is a homegrown Carolina company started by Bill and Mary Ivey. We’ve been here, serving families in our community since 1954. In the pest control industry, there has been a lot of consolidation over recent years. Large, national chains have been buying smaller, family-owned exterminators. 

We are an independent, locally-owned business, operated by three generations of the same family. We understand and care about the needs of our customers. They’re our neighbors and friends. We’re known and trusted for our honesty, expertise, excellent service and standing behind our work.

We’re proud of our story.
