We are driven by a shared mission and grounded in values that define everything that we do:

  • Safety
  • Professionalism
  • Empathy
  • Integrity
  • Innovation

With a reputation built over more than a century and a team-first culture, you'll feel supported from day one, with the freedom and tools to succeed.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do:

  • Provide top-tier pest protection, communicate clearly, and demonstrate customer focus in every interaction.
  • Identify pest issues both inside and outside homes or businesses, full training provided.
  • Explain findings, answer questions, and recommend services that help customers feel secure and informed.
  • Follow all safety protocols while conducting services, handling equipment, and applying treatments to protect yourself, your team, and customers.
  • Handle company vehicles, tools, and materials responsibly while adhering to best practices.
  • Use handheld devices to accurately log findings, complete service reports, and track customer interactions efficiently.

What's in it for you?

  • Average first year earnings between $50,000 and $60,000 plus commission
  • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision & life insurance
  • 401(k) plan with company match, employee stock purchase plan.
  • Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave.
  • Employee discounts, tuition reimbursement, and dependent scholarship awards.

What We're Looking For:

  • A strong work ethic and commitment to customer service
  • A team player with a positive attitude
  • Can work independently and stay organized
  • Don't mind climbing, crawling, or working in various weather conditions.
  • Where the pests go, we go!

Minimum Requirements:

  • Ability to obtain the appropriate pesticide license within the first 90 days of employment (company paid)
  • Use a ladder safely within the manufacturer's weight capacity.
  • Lift and carry up to 50 lbs.
