As a Tick & Mosquito Applicator at Ford’s Hometown Services, you’ll help protect families and pets by reducing tick and mosquito activity on residential properties across Central Massachusetts. You’ll perform property inspections to identify breeding and harborage areas, then apply treatments safely and accurately—following all regulations and company standards—using our high-volume truck-mounted spray rigs (and backpack equipment when needed).
