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:

  • Completing production forms documenting services provided

What do I need to be successful?

  • 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
