We're looking to add another Pest Control Specialist to our team!

Gus Lopez Pest Control is a family-owned business, and has been servicing customers for over 16 years. Gus started this company believing that he could do a better job for the customers than the larger companies could. He successfully built a business from nothing, knowing that as the sole employee, he needed to put his CUSTOMERS' satisfaction first. He successfully accomplished his goals and retired. After working with him for years on both the technician side and the managerial side, I ended up buying the company from my Dad to continue serving our happy customers. Under my leadership, we have continued to serve our customers through the global pandemic, and will continue to do so sustainably.

As we add to our workforce, we still believe that the customers' satisfaction is first, but the best way to approach this is by making sure that as a company, we are shifting and putting the EMPLOYEES first. Our customers depend on our employees to protect their residential and/or commercial property through unmatched Pest Control service. In turn, we have to make sure that our employees are feeling fulfilled and empowered within their job roles. This is done through various ways, such as providing competitive compensation, clarity of expectations within the job role, providing flexibility for time off, continued training and education within the field, and maintaining a positive company culture that keeps employees excited about what they do for a living!

A typical day for our Pest Control Technicians might include:

• Inspecting work vehicles for basic safety and functionality prior to the start of the day.
• Mixing pesticides and loading equipment into a company service vehicle
• Visiting customers to administer treatments, install preventative products and/or service bait/stations
• Collecting payments from customers and using your smartphone along with certain apps, to document services accurately.
• Completing termite inspections and recommending solutions for pest/termite problems
• Visiting a customer to remedy a complaint or service issue
• Contacting customers to schedule service
• Prospecting for new business leads
• Sometimes, Saturday and evening work is required
