We're Zero Pest, a family-run, owner-operated pest control company based in West County (but service the greater St. Louis metro), and we're hiring our next full-time technician. Here is something we have learned over the years...this is a customer service business, and killing bugs is kind of a side effect. What keeps customers with us year after year is the tech who shows up, remembers their name, walks them through what's going on, and does a thorough job. Alex (one of the owners) has a superpower for that, and we're looking for the next person who has it too. We mix modern tools and technology with the old-school personal touch. Our customers aren't just a number, and we want this to be a place people actually love working for. What you'd be doing Learn the ropes riding along with us, then run your own route in a company truck Take care of homes and businesses around St. Louis, inside and out Walk customers through what you found and what you did Figure it out when the day doesn't go to plan (locked gate, customer not home, the problem that keeps coming back) Jump on camera every now and then. We've got a big social media push coming. And just so it's said, it's real work. Attics, spooky basements, hot summers, cold winters, plenty of dogs, and BUGS (of course). Who we're looking for Personality matters more to us than experience. We can teach you pest control. We can't teach you to be good with people. You're probably a fit if: You can talk to just about anyone, and people tend to like you You solve problems instead of waiting for someone to tell you what to do You take pride in doing it right, even when nobody's checking You show up when you say you will You're open to feedback and like getting better at stuff You've got ideas and you're not afraid to share them If you've got pest control experience and a license, awesome, and we'll pay more for that. If you've never done this before, that's totally fine too. Some of the best techs out there came from restaurants, retail, landscaping, you name it. We'll train you and help you get licensed. What we care about We have four core values, and we hire, coach, and promote on them:

Rock Solid:

we do what we say we're going to do

Sharpen Each Other:

we're coachable and we make each other better

We do reviews every six months, and the goal is for something to move every time, whether that's your pay, your title, or what you're trusted with. As you grow there's room to earn commission, move into specialty work like termite and exclusion, and step into leadership as we add more techs. Our first technician got promoted with a raise at his first review. That's how we want it to work. As we grow, you grow.

One last thing. On the last question, start your answer with "Game Over." It's a small thing, but it tells us you read the whole post, and details matter in this job. We're changing the game in pest control, and we truly believe that. Come be part of it. Ryan & Alex Zero Pest Co Game Over for
