What

do our Pest Control Technicians do?

The primary purpose of this role is to perform our industry‑leading pest management services for residential customers.

Responsibilities

include but are not limited to the following:
  • Conduct thorough inspections of client properties to identify signs of pest infestations, damage, and entry points.
  • Apply approved pest control products, including chemicals, baits, and traps, to effectively eliminate pests while adhering to safety standards.
  • Educate customers on pest prevention methods and the importance of maintaining a pest‑free environment. Provide advice on how to reduce the risk of future infestations.
  • Build relationships with customers, schedule and confirm their appointments, help with sales to current customers, and expand our product to new customers.
  • Ensure that all pest control equipment is properly maintained, stocked, and in good working condition.
  • Adhere to all local, state, and federal regulations regarding pest control products and safety protocols.

Essential Job Functions:
  • Work in tight, confined spaces such as basements, attics, crawl spaces, narrow aisles, or passageways.
  • Work around animals, insects, and termites.
  • May work around mechanical parts, vehicles, electrical current, heights and scaffolding, fumes, dust, and chemicals; we’ll train you how to handle all of these conditions safely.
  • Able to work both inside and outside in your local climate in company‑provided weather gear.
  • Often required to sit, climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, and crawl, and to move up and down stairs, ladders, scaffolding, ramps, and poles.
  • Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), such as an OSHA‑compliant respirator.
What do you need?
  • Clean shaven face – for safety reasons (rebreathers must seal properly).
  • High school diploma or GED; related experience and/or training; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Valid driver's license from state of residence (company vehicle and gas card provided).
  • Licenses or certificates required by federal, state, and/or local regulations (covered by us).
  • Available to work Monday‑Friday and weekends as needed.
  • Open to learning and becoming knowledgeable in all areas of pest control.
  • Solid reading, writing, and verbal communication skills.
  • Basic math skills – able to follow instructions for mixing on product labels.
