Job Description

Pest Control Service Technician

Top pay. Industry‑leading training. A great team. A real career.

Do you enjoy working independently, staying active, and helping people solve real problems? Would you rather be out in the field than stuck behind a desk? If so, this could be a great fit.

At Greenhow, our pest control technicians work one‑on‑one with customers at their homes and businesses, diagnosing issues and providing effective, professional solutions. You'll work independently in your own service area-but with the full support of a skilled team, strong training program, and proven systems behind you.

What the job is like
As a Pest Control Service Technician, no two days are the same. Every property is different, and every customer challenge requires problem‑solving and good communication. We provide thorough training, quality equipment, and proven materials-you use your skills and judgment to deliver results our customers truly appreciate.

This is a hands‑on, active role. You'll work outdoors and occasionally in basements and attics. If you like variety, challenges, and being trusted to manage your own day, you'll feel right at home here.

What we offer

  • Competitive pay starting at $50,000+ per year, with growth opportunities
  • Paid training and full support to earn your Massachusetts pest control license
  • Medical, dental, 401(k), paid holidays, and paid vacation
  • Company‑provided vehicle, uniforms, tools, and supplies
  • After your initial training and probationary period, you can take your company vehicle home-saving time at the start and end of your day
  • A stable, essential industry where skilled technicians are always in demand

Who we're looking for You don't need pest control experience-we train the right person. You should:

  • Have strong customer service experience (retail, food service, or other face‑to‑face roles are great backgrounds)
  • Be comfortable talking with all types of customers
  • Have a clean driving record
  • Be dependable, self‑motivated, and open to feedback
  • Take pride in your work and enjoy solving problems

Greenhow, Inc. Lawn Care + Pest Control.

Since 2005, GreenHow has lead the way in low impact pest, plant, termite and turf management. Our focus is happy customers! What sets us apart is our focus on training and material selection. We use a variety of training resources, notably the Purdue University Extension Course for Pest, Termite and Lawn Care, and the University of Massachusetts extension training courses to get our associates trained in the industry. We make sure all technicians are licensed and we have licenses in each category we operate in. Many companies that use general use pesticides do not use the time and training resources to get licenses in all categories they operate in, a key example being mosquito operators that do not possess that license. Our material selection is aided by our GreenShield and GreenPro certifications. We select the lowest impact material to get the job done and are always searching for new alternatives to materials to reduce pesticide use and exposure. We use the Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination system, for example, that uses no water when most termite treatments use hundreds of gallons of water per treatment. This system only kills insects that digest cellulose and molt which focuses the application to termites. This material can be removed from the soil should the customer desire-no liquid termiticide can be removed from the soil. Other examples of our low impact materials include the ArborJet Tree Injection system that lets us put plant health care materials into the bark of the tree through the Tree I.V. reducing the need for spraying foliage and risking non-target exposure. Our use of Acelepryn insecticide with its minimal impact on beneficial pollinators and Tenacity for weed control with its reduced risk profile also highlights our commitment to efficacy and safety.
