“Very enjoyable day working as a pest control technician. No task is the same. From treating mice through to silverfish and woodlice. There is a great sense of satisfaction when you can help customers who may have a fear of mice or bugs in getting relief from the problem. This job provides me an additional income

If you enjoy your job, you will never have to work a day in your life. I have to say this is without doubt the most enjoyable and rewarding job I have ever had. Helping people who are in need is very rewarding, no two days are ever the same. Your always meeting new people. You get the opportunity to treat all kinds of pests from normal rodents throughout the winter months to wasps in the summer and insect treatment throughout the period. I highly recommend this job to anyone.
