About Us

In 1993, Jerry came to Ocala with a family, a truck, and a determination to build something of his own. After working for several pest control companies, he quickly realized that the industry could be about more than just selling service. He wanted to understand why pests were there, solve the problem, and treat people the way he believed they should be treated. In 1993, that idea became the foundation of The Bug Doctor.

The road hasn't always been easy. There have been good years, tough years, and plenty of challenges along the way. But Jerry and Renee kept going, building The Bug Doctor one customer at a time — with hard work, faith, and a commitment to doing business the right way.

Jerry is an Associate Certified Entomologist, with a deep understanding of pest biology and behavior. But to him, pest control has never been just about knowing which product to use. It's about finding the source of the problem, doing the job right, and taking the time to explain it to the customer.

Today, The Bug Doctor remains a family-owned, local company serving Ocala, Summerfield, and the surrounding communities. What started with a truck and a dream has grown into a team of people who genuinely care about the work they do and the customers they serve. And after all these years, that's still what matters most.
