Welcome to Bug Stoppers Bug Stoppers is different from many of the other pest control companies (or exterminators) in South Florida. We are not one of the large regional or national companies. We are also not a one person operation. We are in the middle. We are large enough to meet all your pest control problems and small enough to give you that “Old Fashioned Service” that many of us remember from days gone by. Bug Stoppers treats your house with the same personal attention to detail as we do our own. The biggest problem with any service company in South Florida is lack of response. Response is what we pride ourselves on. We get back to our customers and solve their problems. Mike Brimanson, the principal owner, is a graduate of the University of Florida and the Certified Operator in Charge. As a result our customers have direct contact with Mike. Mike and Bug Stoppers pride ourselves on honesty and attention to detail. We use our unique procedures to ward off creatures before they enter your house using the latest and safest materials.

Being Green
Being Green
As a company, we believe it is important in these days to be conscious of the environment and our impact. Therefore, over the past few years, we have taken steps to become more environmentally friendly, or “green”. One of programs we are currently becoming established with is the Adopt-A-Road Program. Picking up litter and trash from a local road can help our environment and keep our cities looking beautiful.
Also, we have switched to “green-rated”, energy efficient, fluorescent light bulbs in the office. When it comes to the chemicals we use, being green is part of it too. We use advanced chemistries in our chemicals, which are more environmentally friendly than older chemistries. Also, our process of pin-pointing treatment of where the pests travel and live, instead of blindly over-spraying on every inch and polluting the environment, is more green conscious.
By doing this, we use our materials more efficiently to eliminate pests inside and outside of the home, thereby reducing our impact on the environment. Even our vehicles have gotten a green makeover. . Recently, we added Chevrolet HHR’s to our fleet and reduced the number of trucks on the road. The HHR’s get 22 mpg (mile per gallon) city and 30 mpg highway. According to epa.gov, the Chevy HHR is rated 7 on the air pollution scale and 7 on the greenhouse gas scale (10 being the best for both scales).
These vehicles get the SmartWay designation. Rhius means the Chevrolet HHR earned combined Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gas Scores that place them in the top tier (approximately the top 20%) of environmental performers. Our other vehicles include a 2006 Toyota Tundra, which gets 21 mpg highway. Bug Stoppers is also a participating member of Certified Pest Control Operators (CPCO) of Florida Green Program. CPCO is a member of the US EPA Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP). . For the well-being of our customers and the planet, we at Bug Stoppers are trying our hardest to be as green as possible.

Our Service
We work from the outside of the home or building. Our objective is to locate the insects and take care of them at the source. This will prevent them from coming inside the home and become an even greater nuisance. We try to locate the nest instead of just spraying chemicals everywhere in a nuclear fashion.
By taking a very proactive approach, we put the right amount of materials at the right location to rid the outside of insects before they can invade the home.

- Top Ten Pests
Top Ten Creatures
Living in South Florida, we get to enjoy the warm weather practically year-round, the beaches and beautiful skies. But there is one part of this lifestyle that’s anything but attractive…the pests and creatures who love to share our homes and businesses. Below is a list of the top ten creatures common to South Florida, along with a brief description of each.
Spiders
Ants - We guarantee ants different than the other pest control companies. Most pest control firms (or exterminators as some companies like to call themselves) will treat the ants on an ala carte basis. They will charge the customer a base rate and then charge extra for white footed ants, carpenter ants and big headed ants.
Bug Stoppers takes all the major ant species that bother our customers (big headed ants, ghost ants or what many refer to as sugar ants, carpenter ants, fire ants and white footed ants) and includes a guarantee for all these ants. We realize our customers don't care what kind of ant it is they just want us to get rid of them.Rodents
Roaches - Palmetto bugs are roaches. What people call palmettos are usually Australian or American cockroaches. Bug Stoppers handles these roaches and German and brown banded as well as other roaches. As with ants we find our customers don't care what type they are, just get rid of them they tell us.
Termites
Bees
Wasps
Bed Bugs
Lawn Bugs
Plant and Ornamental Bugs
Ticks
Fleas & Occasional Invaders
Yes, I can count. I know there are more than ten on this list, but theses are the major insects and creatures found in and around homes in South Florida. So, if you want to preserve the comfortable and beautiful lifestyle of living in South Florida, call Bug Stoppers. Our programs are State of the Art and designed to eliminate creatures like these at their source.
- Why Use Bug Stoppers?
How our Service Differs from Others
So you are probably wondering what makes Bug Stoppers any better than the other pest control companies out there. Here’s the thing…we have something that most companies don’t have. Allow me to explain. Most major pest control companies today charge ala carte for the different types of ants that invade homes. This fancy restaurant menu-styled way of charging customers can become confusing to the customer and expensive over a long period of time.
At Bug Stoppers, we try a different approach. We have 1 plan for most major ants including carpenter ants, ghost ants (sugar ants), big-headed ants, fire ants, and white-footed ants. This plan is called “The Big 5”. When it comes down to it, customers don’t care what kind of ant it is; they just want it gone. Instead of charging you different amounts of money for every different ant that comes along, you’ll pay one fixed price.
That’s just one of differences between Bug Stoppers and other companies.
- Natural Pest Control
Organic Pest Control, Natural Pest Control and Integrated Pest Management
There has been a lot of talk about organic pest control, natural pest control and Integrated Pest Management. These are the new buzz words in the pest control field. Bug Stoppers practices Integrated Pest Management or IPM.
Sometimes what is natural or organic can be more harmful than other materials that we use. For instance pyrethrums are natural insecticides from the Chrysanthemum plant, but many people are allergic to this chemical. Another material that is promoted as natural or organic is boric acid. While boric acid is very safe in that it would take an extremely large dose to poison someone the downside is there is no antidote for boric acid.
The proper choice of material and where it is placed is of utmost importance. Our procedures are focused in this matter to effectively eliminate the pests from our customer’s homes while protecting people, pets and the environment.
We do this by identifying and locating the pests on the outside of your house or business before they come in. On the inside we go right to the source. We also help seal up or point out to our customer’s areas of concerns so entryways can be sealed off. In addition we educate our customer how to avoid getting some insects e.g. Bedbugs, fleas and ticks. See Our method for additional information on our procedures. - Our Guarantee
