Pest Control Workers

Pest control workers protect homes, businesses, and other properties from unwanted insects, rodents, and wildlife. They begin most jobs by inspecting buildings and outdoor areas to identify the type of pest, locate entry points, and assess the extent of infestation. Using this information, they develop treatment plans that might involve applying chemical pesticides, setting traps, or using other control methods like heat treatments or exclusion techniques. Workers carefully measure and mix chemicals according to safety regulations, then spray or dust affected areas using specialized equipment. They also install bait stations, place mechanical traps, and seal cracks or holes to prevent future invasions.
