Get To Know the bugman
Back in 1958, when California was covered in orange groves and eucalyptus trees, our founder, Herb Olson, had a vision for a service company. Orange County was seeing a growth spurt with the completion of the 5 Freeway a few years earlier and Disneyland opening in 1955. Bedroom communities were popping up all over Orange County making room for families that moved here to work in the aerospace industry or manufacturing. Herb saw a need and opened the bugman in 1958. Ever since then, we work hard every day to make the bugman Southern California's pest and termite company of choice.

Safety Over Speed: Our "No Phone Zones"
At the bugman, we take safety seriously—both for our team and everyone else on the road. That’s why we’ve created "No Phone Zones" for all our company trucks. When we’re driving, we’re 100% focused on the road—no phone calls, no emails, no distractions. It’s not just a rule; it’s about showing how much we care for our employees and the communities we serve. We want everyone to make it home safe at the end of the day, and this policy is one way we’re putting that commitment into action. It’s all part of building a culture where safety and responsibility come first.
