    For anyone who starting pest control just remember it’s all about the company you work for that will determine your experience after a few years at a rag tag bad company I moved up to a better place and will be on the move to better soon.

      Yup!!! It is 100%a scam & not many will actually use any chems & we just spray water on your house if we believe that you do not have any issues!!!
      I have had happy customers with no issues & I just spray water for $80-180 a service, depending on how much my company thinks they can get out of your ignorant, lazy ass!!!

    Pest control technician in Tulsa and it definitely is a great industry to work in. Meeting people, helping people it's just all around a good profession.

    From Tucson AZ hello 👋 Pest control Technicians. I've been in this industry 2 years and love it. I even watch pest control videos on my days off. I'll be getting my Qualified applicator licence soon. Much respect from PEACE OF MIND PEST CONTROL !!!

    Thanks bro, I've been training a week and have learned more from watching and listening to this video vs folks who literally just "go through the motions". This isn't just a job for me its a career change with an end goal in mind and I appreciate the passion!!

    Nice. Sounds like you all have a nice/close knit team of employees and that you are doing good work. From one Pest Control company to another: thanks for sharing your video with the community!

  • @gabrielaguirre9701
    @gabrielaguirre9701 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great content! I’ve watched a few videos and I like the atmosphere described! I work for ABC Home & Commercial Services here in Texas. Same atmosphere, it makes all the difference in the world, and makes you not only want to work for the company but also a better technician!

  • @ssshady08
    @ssshady08 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Absolutely, I work for Truly Nolen, I love this job, you learn every day, and if it's something you don't know, you'll learn it. Every day is different and you are trusted to run your route on your own. Glad to see there's others that love the job.. it does have it's good days and bad, but that's why we have cars with AC 😂. I can only get to 9-12 accounts a day here in Florida, we probably have to do more steps though.

      Do you ever deal with Formosan Termites? I was a Pest Management Tech in the Washington DC and Baltimore Metro Area so all we had to deal with was the Eastern Subterranean Termite.

    Does it pay ok or should I go to trade school to be an electrician?

    • @CRAZYHORSE19682003
      @CRAZYHORSE19682003 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Go to a trade school, most electrician jobs are union jobs so they are worth their weight in gold.

    • @TylerMBuller12
      @TylerMBuller12 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Go to trade school. Pest control is easier work but you will also get paid less unless maybe you start your own pest control business or you are really good at sales.

    Is the sales part hard? I’m worried about that cuz I’ve never had sales experience

    • @CRAZYHORSE19682003
      @CRAZYHORSE19682003 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No it is not, if you are visiting a customer with a problem, selling services is like shooting fish in a barrel.

    • @michaelmerck7576
      @michaelmerck7576 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You just have to be good with talking to people naturally and make them feel comfortable around you and be knowledgeable about what you are doing

    Improper application of a pesticide along the fence line, pesticide cannot be applied on other peoples property.

    • @michaelmerck7576
      @michaelmerck7576 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Most people aren't going to complain if you get some of their fence pest protected

    • @gabrielaguirre9701
      @gabrielaguirre9701 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe, I’m from Texas, so the laws may be different where he is! I know where I am, long sleeve, pants, eye wear etc is required. There was a few things I’d question too tho!

    • @JoseHerrera-vr9qg

      the chemical cant be in the same cabin with tech, a correct respirator etc,

    • @michaelmerck7576
      @michaelmerck7576 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@gabrielaguirre9701it depends on the product if these things apply. Most states employ the label as the law

    @pattty008 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Why would you worry about what topics to bring up with the customer just to start a conversation. You are paid to kill bugs. Check in with the customer and GET TO WORK!! You talk too much about nothing

  • @johnnysin702
    @johnnysin702 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Completing all services is a team effort? That's a good way to say that the harder you work the more you will work because when you finish early guess what slacker over here needs help you're not going home early.😂 I work for companies like this and they completely abused their employees stay away from these guys

    • @CRAZYHORSE19682003
      @CRAZYHORSE19682003 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You are looking at it all wrong. It is a team effort and I LOVED helping other guys for one reason....OVERTIME. Sure I worked 50 or 60 hours a week but in my FIRST year in the Pest Management business I made over 70k and that was 20 years ago.
