Is a Career in Pest Management Right for You?

Were you the kind of kid who would tend to an ant farm or catch lightning bugs on balmy summer nights? Did you enjoy exploring nearby nature in search of wildlife like insects, reptiles or other woodland creatures? If you’ve ever felt a natural fascination with creatures big and small, you should consider a career in pest control.

Pest Control: A New Frontier

Pest control isn’t the same “dirty job” it used to be perceived as. Thanks to a relatively new approach called Integrated Pest Management, or IPM for short, it’s no longer a “spray first, think never” kind of career. Rather, twenty-first century pest control is all about analysis and strategic thinking -- brains over brawn, if you will -- where pesticides are used only as a last resort, rather than the first and only method. 

Empowering Potential 

Do you value independence and autonomy? Our service professionals and field support managers have keys to their own service vehicles, which they park at home every night. We trust our pest control pros to manage their own day in a way that works for them (in other words, we detest micromanagement as much as you do).

We also know that our folks in the field can only do their job with a solid support team behind them to ensure they have all the knowledge and tools they need to get the job done right. We include paid, on-the-job training from a certified, on-staff entomologist (no DVD marathons) and we continue to provide training and support throughout your career with JP Pest Services.

We’ll train you, get you all of the licenses and certifications you need, and will continue to invest in your education so that you can continue ranking up. We value education as well as experience, and often award promotions to our employees who can demonstrate both solid performance and broad, deep knowledge of the industry. 

Benefits You Can Bank On

We offer comprehensive health insurance plans and a network of national brands and services you’ll get discounts from as an employee. You’ll earn paid time off, as well as have the opportunity for paid volunteer time when you’re helping our surrounding communities. And of course we offer matched 401k and profit sharing plans to help you prepare for your future.
