The Tao of pest control; The tech’s perspective

Few jobs give you the diversity and challenges that pest control does. In the morning you could be servicing a meat packing plant and by the afternoon checking rodent stations in a hanger next to a million dollar jet. In between you’ve been fighting fleas for Mrs. Jones and crawling in an 120 degree attic for the local realtor who has just sold a house. No job is the same and never a carbon copy day even with the same accounts month after month.

There is one constant with pest control professionals and you will see it with every service they perform. It’s not the equipment or the thousands of facts they can spout about the subterranean termite. It is the attitude or mind set that drives them to uncover the root of any given pest problem and the great satisfaction they get from solving the dilemma. True professionals never stop learning and hardly slow down on this journey into the ever changing. Pest control is a challenge to any person but it is one the quintessential technician thrives on. With this in mind I put together a short video presentation that I believe captures this standard and sets it out for both the seasoned vet or the rookie new to the job.
