Pro 1 Pest Control is looking for a Pest Exclusion Technician with carpentry, construction, or skilled trades experience to join our team on the Outer Banks.

\n

\n

This is a hands-on position focused primarily on rodent and wildlife exclusion, finding how pests are getting into homes and commercial buildings and physically securing those structures to keep them out.

\n

\n

The work involves carpentry, minor construction, and repair work, including cutting and fitting materials, sealing entry points, installing barriers and covers, and working in crawl spaces, attics, and around rooflines.

\n

\n

Pest control experience is not required. If you bring the construction skills and willingness to learn, we’ll train you on the pest control side and support you in obtaining your North Carolina pest control applicator license.

• Keep your service vehicle organized, clean, professional, and stocked

As you are trained, you will also handle pest control service work, including identifying common pests such as rats, termites, ants, spiders, wasps, mosquitoes, and bed bugs; safely mixing and applying chemical solutions, powders, and granules; and following all label instructions and safety procedures.
