What are the responsibilities and job description for the Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Technician position at Honorable Pest Control?
About the Role
Honorable Pest Control, a family-owned company serving Washtenaw County and surrounding areas, is looking for an experienced Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Technician. You'll handle the full range of nuisance wildlife — raccoons, squirrels, bats, birds, and more — humanely removing animals from homes and businesses, then sealing up entry points so they don't come back.
This is a straight commission position: your earnings are tied directly to the jobs you complete, so strong performers are rewarded. Realistic earnings are $50,000–$100,000 per year, with no cap.
What You'll Do
- Inspect homes and commercial buildings to identify wildlife activity, entry points, and damage
- Humanely trap and remove raccoons, squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife in compliance with state regulations
- Perform bat exclusions following state and federal guidelines, including seasonal restrictions for maternity colonies
- Remove birds and install deterrents such as netting, spikes, and vent guards
- Install exclusion materials like one-way devices, screening, flashing, and sealants
- Service rodent bait stations in compliance with product labels and Michigan pesticide regulations
- Work on ladders, roofs, and in attics and crawl spaces
- Clean and sanitize affected areas, including guano and droppings remediation
- Communicate clearly with customers, explain the work being done, and provide estimates
- Keep accurate job records as required under our DNR wildlife control permit
Schedule
Weekdays, with some weekend and emergency calls — wildlife doesn't keep office hours, and neither do the best techs.
What We're Looking For
- 5 years of hands-on experience in wildlife removal and exclusion work
- Working knowledge of the behavior and biology of common nuisance species (raccoons, squirrels, bats, birds)
- Familiarity with humane trapping methods and Michigan wildlife regulations
- MDARD pesticide applicator certification (Category 7A or 7D) a plus — we'll help the right candidate get registered and certified
- Comfort working at heights and in tight spaces (attics, crawl spaces)
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
- Ability to lift 50 lbs and carry ladders and equipment
- Strong customer service and communication skills
- Self-motivated — on commission, your hustle determines your paycheck
What We Offer
- Straight commission with uncapped earning potential — realistic range of $50,000–$100,000/year
- A 2025 Ford Maverick company truck
- All tools and equipment provided — zero out-of-pocket overhead
- Paid time off
- Steady work with an established, family-owned company
