Ep 12. Extreme Roaches / Busy Beaver

Billy the Exterminator follows the adventures of William "Billy" Bretherton, a professional pest controller in Louisiana. In season 1 episode 12, titled "Extreme Roaches / Busy Beaver," Billy is faced with two different pest infestations.

The first pest problem Billy has to deal with is an extreme roach infestation in a local restaurant. This is not your average roach problem, but rather a massive population of American cockroaches that have taken over the restaurant's kitchen. American cockroaches are notorious for their ability to survive in extreme environments and reproduce at a rapid rate. Billy must use his expertise to locate the source of the infestation and come up with a strategy to eradicate the pests without disrupting the restaurant's business operations.

The second half of the episode is dedicated to a busy beaver that's causing trouble on a local golf course. The beaver has been damaging the trees and causing erosion to the banks of the courses' water hazards. As part of Billy's mission to protect wildlife, he aims to relocate the problematic beaver rather than harming it. Billy and his team must come up with a plan to catch the wily beaver before it becomes a greater threat to the golf course's environment.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a peek into the life of a professional pest controller and some of the day-to-day challenges that this job entails. Billy and his team use a variety of tactics, including traps and pesticides, to rid properties of various types of pests. Along the way, viewers also get a glimpse at the unique wildlife that inhabits Louisiana and how it intersects with human developments.

Overall, "Extreme Roaches / Busy Beaver" is a compelling episode that showcases Billy's creativity and problem-solving skills in tackling two very different pest control issues. From managing an infestation of one of the most resilient pests on the planet to humanely relocating a busy beaver, Billy proves himself to be an expert in his field.
