Your Mission if You Choose to Accept It - Responsibilities as a Pest Control Technician

Conquering Mosquitoes and other Outdoor Pests Yep, you are there to wage war on mosquitoes, other pesky insects and outdoor pests that can ruin outdoor fun.

Doing It with Style As the face of the Mosquito Joe brand, you bring professionalism by following our Mosquito Joe process.

In addition, you go above and beyond to deliver an unforgettable customer service experience.

Communicating with the Local Office You are the boots on the ground but will be in close communication with the office.

This is key for making sure you have the right supplies to do the job and ensuring you know which property to treat!

This Pest Control Job is For You If

  • You love being outside - you would rather be physically active than stuck behind a desk.
  • You enjoy science and the natural world.
  • You enjoy variety. Every property is different, with different problems to solve.
  • You value working independently and are ready to use your excellent communication skills when you have the opportunity.

You might work solo or with a partner. You might meet the homeowner, or you might not.)

You enjoy seasonal work. This is the type of job where you work hard for a few months of the year and can do something else the rest of the time.

To Succeed in this Role as a Pest Control Technician

  • Always bring your A-game. Remember, you are always on a public stage. You might think no one is home or watching, but you might impress someone with your pest control professionalism!
  • Take the training seriously. You will learn the proper guidelines for using the products, and we will even help you get licensed where required.
  • Stay on schedule. We will give you the schedule and timing for the day (usually around 15 appointments).
  • Do it right the first time. You do not want the customer to call you back out to do it over.
  • Leave the whining at home. Some days the work will be hard. It will be hot. You will not want to work. Then your work ethic will kick in, and you will show up with a smile.
  • Think observantly and creatively when assessing each unique property. Every property is different, with different problems to solve.

  • You must be able to lift and carry a backpack, which weighs 65 lbs. (This will be your strength training workout.)

  • You must wear protective gear and a uniform. (You will be protecting yourself while looking good in uniform)

  • And finally, you must not have moral qualms about being a pest assassin.

Benefits & Pay

The compensation for this position is on a base per day worked plus commission for each job satisfactorily completed, and averages $20-$25 per hour on a full-time basis.

What we have to offer :

  • No nights, limited weekends, and holidays - Work hard during the week so that you can enjoy nights, weekends, and holidays with your friends and family.
