We are family-owned and based right here in Ocala, with more than 30 years in the business and an A+ rating with the BBB. A lot of folks know us by our easy-to-remember number, 1-800-Pest-Control. Pest is where we started, and it is still the heart of what we do. Today we handle pest, lawn, irrigation, and termite for thousands of customers across Marion, Lake, Sumter, Citrus, and the surrounding counties. We are growing, and we are looking for dependable people who like being on the move and want to make real money doing it. No pest control experience? That is fine. We will teach you everything and pay for your license. We are a family business, not a national chain, and that changes everything about how this job feels. We pay weekly.

Your ID card, your certification, your continuing education, all of it is on us. You will never pay out of pocket to get certified. There is no slow season. In Florida it is always bug season. That means steady hours and steady pay all year, with no winter layoffs. You are a person here, not a number. The owner knows the crew by name. You will never be employee number four thousand on somebody's spreadsheet. Real benefits. The kind of coverage you would expect from a big company, from a company that still feels like family. See below. We know $15 an hour on a job board does not tell the story, so here is the full picture. Base pay. Your base starts at $15 an hour and goes up once you have earned your own route and shown you can run it. Overtime, every week. This is a strong-hours job for people who want the hours. Most weeks run 45 to 55 hours, and everything over 40 is paid at time and a half. A typical 50-hour week puts your base around $825 before you have sold a single thing. Uncapped commission. You earn commission on everything you sell, 15% to start and 20% once you beat your monthly budget, with no cap. Paid weekly. Base and commission together, every week. No waiting two weeks, and no waiting a month for your commission to show up. Put it together and a motivated, full-time tech is realistically in the range of $50,000 to $60,000 a year and up. The ceiling is set by you, not by us.
