What is this role about?

Our Pest Technicians serve in a key front-line role and are the very heart of what we do. It’s all about providing outstanding service delivery of Terminix products to valued customers.

What does a Day-in-the-Life look like?

  • You are detailed oriented and understand the importance of safety
  • You have a good aptitude for basic math necessary for doing calculations related to service
