- Hey guys, so some people ask me what line of work I’m in. And ask if I’m a personal trainer since I post workout videos a lot. But I’m not a CPT. I am a branch 2 field representative for general pest control. Check out my day to day grind! Haha enjoy!

I work in pest control and it's the best job I've worked at so far, on the road alot of the day, not stuck in one building for 8 to 12 hours and just generally a fun job but can have weeks that are very slow and some that overwhelming but you can adapt and figure out time management. People who need work really need to look at getting into pest control.
Hey there. Thank you for leaving a comment! Where do you work?
Yeah I love the industry because we get to help people, work with great clients, we are in a different location every day. And you have to be able to think on your feet and solve problems.
Best in the business
@daniel Orrantia 🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you
👍🏼 thank you for this helpful insider!
Brooke Ramirez rats are so nasty. Remember they were in the bathroom wall?!
Yes! They’re so gross!!!
Brooke Ramirez I got a huge one this morning. I’ll send you a pic
How a pest control technician treats bed bugs
JG Salas very carefully lol.
Vacuum. Treat bed and box frame and baseboards. Dust walls. Follow up inspections and monitor.
Clothes and linens need to be washed in hot water dried in high temperatures.
Great video bro!
jason urbina dude you should see some of the rats I get. They’re the size of cats 😂
jason urbina come work in pest control with me

Rebecca Misa thanks for watching and leaving a comment. best of luck to you. I’m Not exactly sure where those places are.
@@BobbyRamirez om I. 🇵🇭 Philippines
Rebecca Misa very cool my friend ✌🏽
I was a field tech for Pirtek for 5 years (hydraulic hoses) and an equipment mechanic for one. Got laid off a couple weeks ago and been applying to different jobs like mechanic, apprentice electrician, apprentice plumber, etc. just got a Glassdoor notice about Aptive hiring. I never considered pest control and don’t know much about it. What is it you like? Dislike? What kind of pay do they typically start at and what do the average ones make after a few years? Like I said, never even considered this field until 2 hours ago.
razberryclownsac hey what’s going on, thanks for leaving a comment and watching. I like pest control because I get to help solve people’s problems...pest problems. I get to make connections with clients. I get to see a different scene each day. I like talking pest control stories with coworkers. I like thinking of new ways to serve and putting them into action. Just like any industry you have to work your way up. Your salary is always in direct correlation with the value you bring.
@@BobbyRamirez so is it hourly, commission, or hourly with a commission bonus? I’m considering applying with Aptive, but been reading and it almost seems like they’re seasonal. Don’t know if you know much about that particular company or not.
@@BobbyRamirez I said screw it and put in an app. Worst case, one of us decides it doesn’t work. I’d still like to hear more about the career though.
razberryclownsac every company is different. I’ve worked at places where it’s hourly. I’ve worked on a salary. I’ve had some companies that give sales commissions and bonuses. All depends on how the particular company operates.
razberryclownsac what more would you like to know about the career?
I've been a tech support rep for 3 years now for an Internet Service Provider. I've been looking into this field recently..Thanks for the video. I hate routine changes so it's hard for me to try and find a new job, but I am getting burnt out and this job is making me miserable. If you have any helpful info or tips i'd be glad to hear it, Thanks.
Austin Clevenger hey there. Thank you for watching and die leaving a comment. I appreciate it. Best of luck to you in whatever you choose to pursue. What about your work do you not like? What do you like? What are you good at? Tips for pest control??
@@BobbyRamirez I don't like the constant back to back phone calls fir 10 hours a day with customers who are pissed at you for the company not fixing their issues. The workplace is miserable. Tips on pest control or anything in general just stuck in the mud and have no idea what to do.
Austin Clevenger that does sound frustrating. What can you do to improve the work environment?
I just recommend keeping a positive outlook on work and life. Control what you can. We can’t control what happens but we can control ourselves and how we react to what happens.
As far as pest control, I enjoy my work. Been doing it for 11 years.
Hey bro, I'm gonna get into this industry. How did you become a branch 2 field rep? Do you need to get licenses? I'm new to the field, starting out as a tech.
Hey what’s going on? Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment.
If you’re just starting you will get training on the job. They should provide study material and you can take an applicators test or a field rep test. Once you pass you’ll have a license. Good luck. What area will you be working in?
@@BobbyRamirez I live in Oakland, but I applied to clarks in Concord. I got an offer at aptive environmental in fremont but they was paying $20. I was going to get my cdl-a to drive semi trucks but found out it wasn't worth it in the long run so I decided to try this. Is the exams hard and how many licenses do you need, I heard you need ehs too right?
@@iluvuvibez6644 right on. You’re in the Bay Area also. Trucking? Nice I know some people who do that.
Are the tests hard? Hmm, it depends on how much you study to prepare. Anything in life worth getting or going after is going to require sacrifice and some work.
I’ve seen some rodent boxes put out by adaptive.
EHS? I’m not sure what that is.
Just started in pest control...washington/Oregon here....where you at?
Kelli Hoover hey what’s up?! I’m in California in the north Bay Area. Petaluma to be exact. Been doing pest control for almost 10 years. How do you like the industry ?
Kelli Hoover @bobbyaztlan on instagram, I post a lot of pest control stuff
Bobby Ramirez I love it!!! Long beach/Astoria. I turned wrench for about 5 years and heard that this was more lucrative. I've been at it only a month so I'm still doing ride alongs but I just passed the laws and safety class and I'm scheduled for my last one on the 31st....scary shit huh? But after that I will have my own route! I'll check out your Instagram! Much love bruh!!!!
Kelli Hoover how’s the pest control industry treating you?!
Lmao 😂
NIKI BLOSSOM 😂😂😂
know anything about A-1? Saw a job posting and didn't know if they were good to work for
Never heard of them. What area is that? I’m in the Bay Area.
@@BobbyRamirez North Carolina. A-1 Termite & Pest Control is the full name. Saw a few openings on Indeed and decided to google them and pest control jobs.
@@-umbra-1590 oh got ya. I’m not in that area, I’m in California. Not familiar with that company
@@BobbyRamirez No worries, your video was still interesting. Thanks!
@@-umbra-1590 thank you for watching. Are you currently in the pest industry at another company?
Have you ever got bit doing this job?
Lostkingz23 hey what’s up. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Yes I’ve been bit. Not by rats 🐀. But by wasps, yellow jackets, fleas, spiders and ants.
How much u Make . Is it real labor job.
Jay Khan not to bad labor. All depends what field your in. Rodent work is more than general pest routes. And termite work includes lots of crawling.
I don’t work for hourly wages, I work for profits. Naturepacificpest.com is my company
I know this video is old but what can I do to get a job like this?
Humberto Cortez hey what’s up man? Thanks for watching. Where are you working right now? To get in the industry I’d say get your resume up to date and go apply at your local company. Where are you located? Maybe I can find a company near you
Bobby Ramirez I currently work in a warehouse in California.
Humberto Cortez oh nice in California there are tons of companies. They big ones like terminix and Clark and western are usually always hiring.
Bobby Ramirez would you know if I need to do anything prior to applying like getting licensed or can I just apply?
Humberto Cortez you can just apply. The larger companies will help get you licensed.
