I used the Vexcon address in database. Sent: June 18th Received August 20th Little over to months. He sent back an autographed picture of 4 of the people from the show, a Vexcon sticker, and a hand written message on my index card. I love this show so Im very glad I got this. He didnt use my SASE. Today, April 2nd, , I received an autograph 4x6 photo of Billy, along with a little note on the back.
I really enjoy the show, so this is a nice success for me! It followed the professional life and day-to-day operations of Bretherton, the method of his relocating captured animals, while often providing their description and more information about them, such as the diseases they might carry.
Getting rid of rats, roaches and other rodents on television, Bretherton gathered numerous fans. Although Bretherton and his brother were the stars of the show, it also depicted other family members, including his parents, a frequent source of comic relief.
From its fourth season on, the show took a different approach, following the Bretherton brothers going to various places throughout the county, to help local exterminators and wildlife rescue services in their control of pests, while also working their jobs back in Louisiana.
Since then no new episodes of the show have been aired. Arrest The public was shocked to hear that the famous pest expert left the family business in Reportedly, the police were called to a hotel room in Bossier City, Louisiana, where the couple was staying, discovering the spouses smoking marijuana. Being arrested for the possession of significant amounts of synthetic marijuana and a device commonly used for smoking narcotics, the charges were not too severe, and the pair was subsequently released.
Personal life Bretherton is married to Mary, with whom he has a son. There were speculations that Bretherton made her quit the show due to a fight they had on it. Although some sources state that Bretherton had been married before Mary, this fact has never been confirmed by him.
Physical appearance and style Bretherton has drawn attention with his unusual fashion style, his trademark uniform being black leather garments, zippers, t-shirts featuring metal bands, cowboy hats and chunky jewellery with various steel studs and spikes. Speaking further about his physical appearance, the spikey-haired Bretherton has green eyes and often wears sunglasses.
Details regarding his body measurements have not been disclosed to the public. Author Benjy P. Benjy is currently a reporter for BiographyPedia based in Adelaide, Australia. Billy's partner in rodent removal is his brother Ricky, whose ex-wife Pam was briefly still part of the company and the show despite their already being divorced she didn't last beyond season one.
Billy's parents, Bill Sr. And in keeping with the tradition of spouses making an early appearance and then quickly exiting, Billy's wife, Mary, also left after the first season under somewhat contested circumstances-- more on that later-- though the pair remain married.
Getting rid of roaches, rats, and other rodents is a dirty job— and not surprisingly, a show focusing on such a trade is bound to have some dirty secrets. Billy's whole MO is that he's a rocker dude-- he is constantly decked out in leather jackets, t-shirts featuring metal bands, and chunky jewelry, as well as being one of the proud torch-bearers of keeping the mullet alive well into the 21st century.
Given Billy's stylistic choices, it's easy to assume that his ever-present sunglasses are just another component of his rock-n-roll ensemble. In reality, there is a functional purposes for his shades-- to combat the bright lights of the camera crew. Billy has said that the "hot lights" behind the cameras irritate his eyes, and he started wearing sunglasses all the time as a result.
For a reality star, Billy is famously guarded about his personal life. It proved tough to even confirm whether or not he was still married to Mary following her departure from the show-- and asking him such questions point-blank doesn't get anyone very far.
With that in mind, we may never get confirmation on this rumor that has been making the rounds online for a couple of years now, but it's so juicy that it's worth bringing up.
Reports have circulated that Mary isn't actually Billy's first wife, and that the hornet-killer was briefly married in the '80s following his time in the military. As long as Billy isn't willing to officially deny that particular rumor-- and he hasn't-- it will likely continue to be one of many mysterious aspects of his private life. Much has been made of the lengths Billy is willing to go to in order to save some of the animals he "exterminates," humanely catching and relocating them whenever possible.
He has also been an outspoken supporter of natural methods of pest and rodent control. However, as many viewers have noticed, Billy can be a bit inconsistent in his supposed love for living things.
He doesn't think twice about lethally gassing insects and cockroaches -- few would fault him for the latter but some have an issue with him not trying harder to rescue bees and wasps, as they can be essential components of local ecosystems.
When it comes to pests of the furry kind, Billy definitely seems to favor the cuter critters. He once told an interviewer, "I'll never love a rat," despite his insistence that he doesn't show preference to one animal over another.
Even reality shows need to have a little bit of exposition in order to get the audience up to speed on certain things, and various shows have different ways of dealing with this problem-- most commonly via a narrator or on-screen text that relays the essential information that audiences need to know.
On Billy the Exterminator , that exposition comes from those chats between Billy and Ricky on the way to each job. The brothers Bretherton are skilled veterans of the pest control field, and they probably don't still need to go into great detail with each other about how to lure a raccoon out of a crawlspace or why a fox would take up residence in someone's attic.
But they do so during the show, and that's entirely for the audience's benefit so that we know all of the relevant information before they arrive at their destination and the fun starts.
In addition to the pre-job oversharing, the ins and outs of filming a television show also make the duo repeat themselves a whole lot more than they normally would. While a job is being filmed, nobody has any way of knowing for sure which shots will and won't make it to air.
It can prove tricky trying to edit together shots that may be slightly out of sequence because it makes a scene flow better-- and it's risky cutting a shot out entirely as it may omit essential info. As a way around this, producers of Billy the Exterminator have Billy and Ricky continually re-explain what they're doing, the facts of the creatures at hand, and so on as a way to ensure that no key information is lost no matter what shots or scenes end up being cut.
The closest thing to an official explanation of Mary Bretherton's departure from the show is that she just wasn't a big fan of being on television.
