Job description

Own your route. Build a career. Get paid what you're worth.

Certus Home Services is one of the fastest-growing pest control companies in the country with 36 branches across 10 states, and we're hiring Pest Control Technicians ready to build something real. Steady income, a route they're proud of, and a clear path to more. No experience necessary. We'll train you, get you licensed, and pay you while we do it.

Why Technicians Choose Us:

Real Pay, Real Upside: $18-$23/hour base (based on experience and licensing), plus monthly performance bonuses and commissions on every lead you generate - uncapped.
A Route That's Yours: You'll run your own book of residential and commercial stops. The customers who trust you, the schedule you master, and the reputation you build on that route - that's yours to own.
A Truck and Tools Day One: Take-home company vehicle, fuel card, uniforms, and all equipment provided - no waiting.
Paid Training, Real Licensing: No pest control background? We'll train and license you, paid, from day one.
Benefits That Support You: Medical, dental, vision, Life Insurance, company paid disability, 401(k) with Employer Matching, and PTO.
A Career, Not a Ceiling: A defined path from technician to senior technician, sales, or branch leadership.
Stability in Any Economy: Pest control is a recession-resistant, year-round industry - and we're growing fast enough to prove it.

What You'll Do

Inspect properties, correctly identify pest issues, and apply safe, effective treatments

Spot opportunities for additional services and earn real bonus dollars when they convert
Keep your vehicle, equipment, and records in top shape - because a professional operation reflects on you
Work safely and follow every compliance and product-use standard, every time

What Winning Looks Like on Your Route

90%+ customer satisfaction, because your name is on every visit
Zero preventable safety incidents - a professional runs a safe operation
Consistent monthly leads generated and converted - because you see opportunities others miss
A track record strong enough to open the door to your next role, whenever you're ready
