About Us

In the year nineteen hundred and ninety, Jerry had only three things to his name: A family, a truck and a dream. Freshly coming off of being a dog house builder of all things, he reignited his passion for bugs and nature and set out on a pest control journey that is still being written.

Jerry is an Associate Certified Entomologist — a distinction that sets The Bug Doctor apart from the competition. His deep knowledge of pest biology means he doesn't just treat symptoms; he eliminates the source.

The American Dream is dead — and if Jerry had bought into that lie, you would not be reading this today. Of course in pest control and termite control, there were hard times, and times where the business was on the brink of failure, but a strong will and faith can trump any circumstance.

Today, Jerry and Renee Schappert continue to serve the Ocala and Summerfield communities with the same dedication and integrity that built their reputation over 25 years ago. We are proud to be your local, family-owned pest control experts.
