What

do our Commercial Pest Control Technicians do?

The primary purpose of this role is to perform industry-leading pest management services for commercial customers. You will identify and eliminate pests from commercial properties by conducting thorough inspections, determining the type of pest infestation, applying appropriate treatments (such as pesticides and traps), and providing preventative measures to prevent future infestations. You will adhere to safety regulations and communicate with clients about pest control solutions.

Responsibilities
  • 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, while adhering to safety standards
  • Educate customers on pest prevention methods and the importance of maintaining a pest-free environment; provide advice to reduce the risk of future infestations
  • Build relationships with customers, schedule and confirm appointments, assist with sales to current customers, and expand our product to new customers
  • Ensure 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
  • Drive and safely operate a company-provided service vehicle (routine maintenance provided)
Essential Job Functions
  • Work in tight, confined spaces such as basements, attics, crawl spaces, narrow aisles, or passageways
  • Work around animals, insects, and termites
  • Handle conditions related to mechanical parts, vehicles, electrical current, heights and scaffolding, fumes, dust, and chemicals safely with training
  • Be able to work inside and outside in varied climates in company-provided weather gear
  • Move frequently — including sitting, climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, crawling, and climbing stairs, ladders, and scaffolding
  • Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), such as OSHA-compliant respirators
What do you need?
  • Clean-shaven face for safety reasons (rebreathers must seal the face)
  • High school diploma or GED; related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience
  • Valid driver’s license from the state of residence
  • Available to work Monday–Friday and Saturdays as needed
  • Solid reading, writing, and verbal communication skills; ability to present information in internal and external settings
  • Basic math skills — add, subtract, multiply, and divide in all units of measure; ability to follow instructions for mixing on product labels
  • Licenses/certificates as required by federal, state, and/or local regulations (covered by us)
  • Customer-facing experience preferred
