Pest Control Service Technician
About The Position
Pest control is part skilled trade, part customer service, and part detective work. As a Pest Control Technician, you'll manage your own route, visit homes and businesses, identify what's causing pest problems, and help customers protect their health & property. You don't need previous pest control experience to succeed here! We provide paid training, help you prepare for state certification exams, pay for your testing, and continue investing in your development throughout your career. You'll travel throughout your assigned service area, completing residential and commercial appointments. At each stop, you'll inspect the property, identify pest activity and contributing conditions, perform treatments, document your work, and educate customers on what to expect and on preventing future problems. Most of your day is spent working independently, but you'll always have the support of your manager and local team whenever you need another perspective or run into a unique situation. This isn't a desk job. You'll work outdoors in hot and cold weather, spend a lot of time driving, climb ladders, go into crawlspaces, and occasionally deal with things that are simply unpleasant or gross. Summer is our busiest season, so overtime and occasional Saturdays are often just part of the job. The first few months can be a steep learning curve as you learn different pests, treatment methods, equipment, regulations, and customer situations. By the end of their first season, most technicians are amazed by how much they've learned and the confidence they've built. The best moments come when you solve a problem that has been affecting someone's home, family, health, employees, or business and see the relief your efforts have provided.
