We are proud to be a member of the Rentokil family of companies, the global leader in Pest Control and other services across more than 90 countries. We pride ourselves on being a trusted partner to many of the world's leading brands and serve consumer and business customers across multiple industries.

What is this role about?

Our Termite Control Technicians serve in a key front-line role and are the very heart of what we do. It’s all about providing outstanding service delivery of Terminix products to valued customers.

What does a "Day-in-the-Life" look like?

Equipped with a company vehicle and excellent industry training, our Termite Techs are out in the neighborhoods Terminix serves visiting residential customers and performing requested termite treatments. Here are a few specifics of what you would be doing each day:

  • Verifying that job specifications are appropriate for each work order
  • Preparing the job site for treatment
  • Applying anti-terminate treatments to structures according to schedule, safety procedures and label instructions.
  • Interacting with customers and explaining services provided
  • Completing production forms documenting services provided

What do I need to be successful?

  • Prior industry experience is great, but not required. The following are much more important…·
  • You are personable and enjoy interacting with customers
  • You are self-motivated and have a strong work ethic
  • You can effectively present information to customers one-on-one and in small groups
  • You are detailed oriented and understand the importance of safety
  • You have a good aptitude for basic math-- necessary for doing calculations related to service
  • Of course, given our business, you should be comfortable working outside and in confined spaces like crawl spaces and attics
  • For safety reasons (rebreathers have be able to seal to your face) our Termite Techs aren’t able to have facial hair

Why should I choose Terminix?
