What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pest Control Technician position at Blue Duck Pest Control?
Most Pest Control Companies Hire Sprayers.
We Train Problem Solvers.
At Blue Duck Pest Control, we believe pest control is about much more than simply spraying a house and moving on.
Every home has a story.
Sometimes it's ants in the kitchen. Sometimes it's mice in the attic. Sometimes it's a family that simply wants peace of mind knowing their home is protected.
Our job is to solve problems, educate homeowners, and provide an experience that leaves people feeling cared for.
That's why we're looking for Pest Control Technicians who take pride in their work, enjoy helping people, and want to build a long-term career in a growing industry.
Whether you have years of experience or are completely new to pest control, we want to hear from you.

As a Pest Control Technician, you'll manage your own service route throughout Central Indiana.

Performing residential pest control services
Treating common pests including ants, spiders, centipedes, millipedes, and other household pests
Inspecting homes and identifying pest issues
Communicating with customers and educating them on treatment plans
