Licensed Pest Control Technician

Job Description

Job Description

We get it. You have options when it comes to finding a new career. When you put on a Mosquito Joe uniform, you become part of the family—a group of people committed to excellent customer service and passionate about making the outdoors a place that’s fun for everyone.

No experience is needed. We will train you and help get you licensed so you can have a distinguished career as a pest control technician. **$250 SIGNING BONUS once licensed** **$500 bonus for new hires who already hold a valid pesticide applicator license (paid after 30 days of employment).*

This is a seasonal role typically running from March through October, depending on weather and mosquito activity.

We are not a standard, run-of-the-mill pest control company. We have it so much better. We only treat outdoor pests like mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and other outdoor pests – no crawl spaces, no attics, and no scary sheds to deal with.

Instead, you get to work outside, drive a sweet company ride, and get a quick workout. You will make some bugs and pests take a long nap and leave the customer to make fun memories outside again!

This truly is one of the best pest control jobs on the planet and if you are ready to work outdoors while traveling locally, and love helping people, apply today! If you have worked in landscaping, restaurant to retail this is a great fit!

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. Our customers depend on you to remove and repel these enemies from their yards and 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.

· 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 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. This role can be physically demanding, especially in hot weather, and requires a strong work ethic and positive attitude.

· Think observantly and creatively when assessing each unique property. Every property is different, with different problems to solve.
