• Real Pay, Real Upside: $20-$22/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 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

• Run a daily service route across residential and commercial properties, building lasting relationships with the same customers over time
• Inspect properties, correctly identify pest issues, and apply safe, effective treatments
• Educate customers and deliver a service experience good enough that they ask for you by name
• 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

• 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

Who You'll Work For

You won't be out there alone. Every route is backed by a local branch team and a manager who knows your market and is invested in your growth — real coaching, regular feedback, and honest conversations about what it takes to move up.
