- Provide special attention to recurring or high-infestation units.
- Coordinate unit access with property managers, maintenance staff, and residents.
- Clearly explain preparation requirements to residents before treatments when necessary.

- Maintain accurate records of every inspection and treatment performed.
- Take photographs when necessary to document infestation conditions, treatment areas, or resident/property concerns.
- Record chemicals/products used and treatment details in accordance with company and regulatory requirements.
- Maintain pest-control chemicals, equipment, sprayers, traps, PPE, and supplies in a safe and organized manner.
- Follow all product labels, SDS requirements, safety procedures, and applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
- Communicate recurring pest problems and recommend long-term corrective solutions to management.
- Assist property and maintenance teams in developing preventive pest-control strategies for problem buildings.
Required Qualifications

- Strong attention to detail and ability to document work accurately.

What We Are Looking For

- Organized: Can efficiently manage multiple communities and service requests.

- Safety-conscious: Properly handles chemicals and follows all application requirements.
