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?

Equipped with a company vehicle and excellent industry training, our Pest Techs are out in the neighborhoods Terminix serves visiting residential customers and performing requested exclusion services.

Here are a few specifics of what you would be doing each day :

  • Setting up and building exclusion traps, cuts flashing and forms hardware cloth to specifications
  • Removing animals trapped in exclusion devices
  • Working in a safety harness from roof tops as needed in the performance of exclusion services and wildlife removal
  • Interacting with customers and explaining services provided
  • Completing production forms documenting services provided

What do I need to be successful?

  • Being a high school graduate / having a GED and a valid driver’s license are both requirements
  • Three to six months of related exclusion experience and / or training and six months of experience using hand tools and related equipment.

The following are much more important

  • You are personable and enjoy interacting with customers
  • You are self-motivated and have a strong work ethic
  • You can effectively present information to customers one-on-one and in small groups
  • 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
  • Of course, given our business, you should be comfortable working outside and in confined spaces like crawl spaces and attics
  • For safety reasons (respirators must be able to seal to your face) our Pest Techs aren’t able to have facial hair

In addition to being part of an iconic brand with a rich 85 year history, here are some other highlights of what we offer members of the Terminix Team.
