Barefoot Mosquito & Pest Control

As a former employee of Barefoot Mosquito and Pest Control, I can say with certainty that this is one of the most disorganized and frustrating companies I’ve ever worked for. The communication within the company is absolutely abysmal. Management rarely provides clear instructions, and when they do, it’s often last-minute or contradictory. Emails go unanswered, team meetings are chaotic, and there’s zero effort to keep employees in the loop about scheduling, customer complaints, or even basic company policies.The service quality is a complete mess, and it’s no surprise customers are unhappy. We were given cheap, inconsistent products that either did nothing to control pests or were so strong they’d kill every living thing in a customer’s yard—plants, beneficial insects, you name it. There was no training on how to properly assess properties or apply treatments, so the results were a crapshoot. Management didn’t care as long as the job was “done” and they could bill the client.The expectation to rush jobs was ridiculous. It used to be quality over quantity but thats not the case anymore. The constant management turnover made things even worse. In my time there, I saw so many managers come and go that I stopped bothering to learn their names. Each new manager brought their own “vision” or rules, but none stuck around long enough to follow through. It created a toxic, chaotic work environment where no one knew who was really in charge or what the company’s goals were.I left because I couldn’t take the disorganization and lack of professionalism anymore. If you’re considering working here—or worse, hiring them—run the other way. Barefoot Mosquito and Pest Control is a sinking ship with no regard for employees or customers.



Every time management changed they wouldn’t communicate to us (CSRs) any of the changes they had made to either treatments or rules of practice. I worked there for almost 2 years and the company “merged” with at least 20-30 smaller companies and did not notify their customers causing stress/ frustration between customers and all employees. I quit because I was tired of being yelled at day in and day out over management’s poor communication and “being wrong” because I wasn’t told they changed the process or rules of a treatment. Training wasn’t anything either, you sit by a supervisor for a week and watch what they do but they never actually tell you how to handle frustrated customers or how to be customer service or even what the treatments are and what they are and do. I had to be friends with the Technician manager just to figure things out about the treatments and actually be able to help customers and to understand what is going in their yard, how it works, and the process of what the customer should expect because CUSTOMERS WANT TO KNOW WTH IS GOING ON AT THEIR PROPERTY and I felt it was my job to give them that peace of mind. 

where to even begin. 
- no recognition 
- health hazardous work environment but management will say it's safe. 
- very sketchy paperwork you have to sign to join
- completely inconsistent and poor training 
- company vehicles that are held together by hopes and dreams (cheaper) 

Lots of management changes, this company no longer truly cares for its clients nor employees, you're just a number in their system. 

the stress, managers constantly talking trash about your co-workers (so you when you're not around), health risks, and management genuinely make this a miserable place to work. 

the only and I mean ONLY redeeming quality of this company were the cool guys I got to work with. 

I would like to share my experience working at Barefoot Mosquito and Pest Control to help others make informed decisions about applying. While the pay was competitive, I found that certain aspects of the company culture and management style were challenging.

I believe that there are areas where Barefoot Mosquito and Pest Control could improve, particularly in terms of [specific issues, e.g., communication, work-life balance, recognition]. I would recommend that potential applicants thoroughly research the company and consider if it aligns with their career goals and values before applying.

We have a clear mission every day and that is to provide our customers with the best possible service and have a good time while doing it!

If you want to be part of that same since of accomplishment and get compensated well while doing it, Barefoot Mosquito and Pest Control might be just what you need in your life!

Barefoot Mosquito and Pest was a great place to work for and with. 
I loved the management that was in place. I had never worked in pest control and mosquito control before and the helped to teach and groom me into an amazing pest technician. The hardest but most fun part of the job was seeing a problem in front of me and trying to figure out how to best deal with the situation. By far the most enjoyable part of it was building a clientele that I was able to keep happy at all times.

I've worked for Barefoot for many years. When I started, the company was small. Over the years, barefoot has grown to much larger, and is continuing to grow, even during a Pandemic. 
I take pride, knowing that we're one of the best pest control companies in the area. And the reason for that, is a great management team. If you don't have a good management team, the whole company suffers. We have a great group of people who really care about the company, customers, and employees. 
Mosquito season can be crazy busy but the days go by so fast, and the off season gives a bit of a break, as things slow down for a few months in the "winter". 

this company will lie to you and to your customers. you will NOT make the advertised pay unless you are selling lots of jobs and doing regular pest control. they want you to work 10ish hour days and they will not give you any break or lunch. they will not keep their ends of any deals. communication is non existent. the divide between management/office staff and technicians is extreme. management believes that you are beneath them as a person.

As a csr rep they'll expect you to not only answer inbound calls, emails,  answer chat line,  they'll also expect you to figure out and answer all billing issues- because they now have no billing dept/ team and do not run proper billing on a daily for 30 day,  60 day lates, etc and new customers aquired from new business are extremely disappointed with that process and scheduling as well,  due to company being extremely shorthanded with work load

Outside sales in this company is appointment based sales. Limited to regular pest/mosquito, termite, exclusion, and commercial property appointments. 

Regularly run 4-8 appointments a day and have an unlimited potential for income. This company takes care of their sales people and we are paid handsomely.
