What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pest Control Technician position at Defense Pest Control?
Defense Pest Control, a growing family-owned company that has proudly served the East Valley Cities since 2006, is looking for a friendly, reliable, and motivated service technician to join our team. No experience in pest control? No problem! If you enjoy solving problems, working independently, and providing exceptional customer service, we are confident you'll love this role—and we’ll teach you everything you need to succeed.
As a Pest Control Technician, you’ll manage a daily route and provide pest control, weed control, and termite services to both residential and commercial customers. Each day will be varied, from inspecting properties to identify pest issues, to determining the least invasive solution and creating tailored treatment plans. You'll apply pesticides in compliance with state and federal regulations, perform treatments, and communicate the plan of action clearly to customers, answering questions and offering expert recommendations to keep their homes or workplaces pest-free.
Beyond delivering high-quality service, you will be responsible for collecting payments, maintaining accurate service records, and ensuring that company-issued equipment and vehicles meet safety and performance standards. While sales are not a primary focus, there are opportunities to earn commissions by upselling additional services, should you choose to do so.
Why work with us? We offer competitive hourly pay, a consistent Monday-Friday schedule, great benefits, and a supportive, tight-knit work environment where you’ll have a meaningful impact on both your team and our customers.
