Hector Arraya kills bugs for a living. A former Army sergeant with the 1st Armored Division, he came home to Houston and took a job with Lone Star Pest Control, plus bail enforcement on the side.
He’s a third-generation Arizonan from Tucson who prefers Miller Lite and American food, and he’s tired of correcting people who call him “Arroyo.” He also starred in a cheesy pest-control commercial with an actor in a bug suit. It airs during the seventh-inning stretch of Astros games, and nobody lets him forget it.
He keeps his faith quietly: a rosary in his pocket, and a shrine to the Virgin Mary next to a pencil sketch of Patton. He has a line for when things turn serious: there’s fun time, and there’s grown-up time.
