A Valentines Day Love Story: Working in Pest Control

Most people squeal at the unfortunate sighting of a rat or cockroach in the house. Not many people could handle dealing with these pests every day – but could you?

The pest control technicians at Catseye Pest Control have dealt with the wildest pest control situations you could think of – bed bug-infested hotel rooms, restaurants overcome with mice, nests of wasps you wouldn’t dare let your children or pets go anywhere near. We’ve fought with angry raccoons, relocated baby squirrels from basements to the edges of backyards, and saved structures from being eaten away by thousands of termites.

Some of the situations we find ourselves in certainly aren’t the prettiest, but the satisfaction that comes with restoring a property to pest-free conditions and preventing new ones is worth it every time we walk face-first through a spider web or step in a pile of wildlife droppings.

Pest control isn’t just for protecting our customers’ property. It’s about protecting the health of the people that live or work there. Pest control protects people of all ages, from the oldest living at home to the youngest playing in the front yard, and the family pets roaming the property.

Are you considering working in pest control? When hired as a pest control technician, you enter a career where no day on the job is the same. You’ll be required to service properties of all types and sizes, inspect and identify pest issues, research and stay informed about best pest control practices and trends occurring, and have a professional demeanor when engaging with customers. Facing unique circumstances and conditions at each property you visit requires that you have the ability to solve problems and customize your solutions to fit each circumstance.

Our pest control technicians respect wildlife and love what they do, every day. Even in the worst pest infestation situations, our team thrives on solving troublesome pest problems that are keeping people from feeling safe and comfortable in their homes and workplaces.
