Production starts on the pilot, for the US Nat Geo channel, this week.

“These authentic, larger-than-life exterminators are giving our cameras exclusive access into their world and their battle against alien invaders,” said Charlie Parsons, vice president, programming and development, National Geographic Channel.  “By partnering with expert storytellers, such as Shark Teeth Films, we hope to keep viewers entertained and intrigued, ultimately identifying and relating to this world.
