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.

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.
