• Set mechanical traps and bait where needed and remove trapped or dead animals
• Measure areas, estimate materials, and work cleanly and professionally on-site
• Build positive relationships with clients and explain problems and recommendations
• Keep your service vehicle organized, clean, professional, and stocked
• Manage your schedule and route and respond quickly to client needs

As you are trained, you will also handle pest control service work, including identifying common pests such as rats, termites, ants, spiders, wasps, mosquitoes, and bed bugs; safely mixing and applying chemical solutions, powders, and granules; and following all label instructions and safety procedures.

What You Bring

• Carpentry, construction, or skilled trades experience
• Comfort working with tools and equipment
• Ability to work from sketches, drawings, or plans
• Ability to follow oral and written instructions
• Basic math skills to estimate materials and time
• Willingness to learn pest control and obtain a North Carolina pest control applicator license
• Ability to lift 50 lbs, crawl through attics, use a ladder to access roofs, and inspect crawl spaces
• Enjoyment of working with people, animals, technology, and the outdoors

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED
• Clean driving record
• Ability to pass a background checkDocumentation of ability to work in the United States
• Willingness to work a flexible schedule, including occasional weekends and evenings

Pest control experience is a plus, but not required. If you have the carpentry and exclusion skills, we’ll train you on the rest.

If you enjoy working with your hands, solving problems, and leaving a property better protected than you found it, we’d love to hear from you.
