Your Mission and Responsibilities as a Pest Control Technician...

• Conquering Mosquitoes and other Outdoor Pests - Yes, you are there to wage war on mosquitoes, other annoying insects, and outdoor pests that can ruin our customers' fun and their health. Our customers depend on you to remove and repel these enemies from their property.

• 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, the best in the industry.

• Communicating with the Office- You are the boots on the ground but will be in close communication with, and supported by, 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 variety. Every property is different, with different problems to solve.
• You value working independently as well as being supported by and supportive of your team. You are ready to use your excellent communication skills when you have the opportunity. (You might work solo or with a partner. You might meet and speak with the customer, or you might not.)
• You enjoy seasonal work. This is the type of job where you work hard for about eight months of the year. The winter is not busy, but there is work to do, or you can do something else during that 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 equipment, and we will help you get your Massachusetts Applicator License.

• 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 consider, or discover, and solve.
