Cartwright Termite & Pest Control, Inc., family-owned and serving Southern California since 1962, is seeking a dependable, professional Pest Control Technician.

We are more than a traditional pest-control company. Our technicians work in residential, commercial, municipal, school, industrial, transportation, food service, property-management, and other specialized environments.

Our focus is on inspection, pest identification, Integrated Pest Management, prevention, documentation, and long-term solutions — not simply applying pesticides.

Why Cartwright?

Technicians may gain experience in:

• General pest control
• Rodent inspection, trapping, baiting, exclusion, remediation recommendations, and prevention
• Cockroach and drain/sewer programs
• Bed bugs
• Termite and fumigation
• Bird and wildlife control
• Bee services
• Gopher and ground-squirrel control
• Mosquito/vector control
• Commercial, municipal, and school IPM
• Emergency pest response

Cartwright is also a California licensed contractor, CSLB #290964, with B, C-10, C-36, and C-39 classifications.

Professional development includes in-house Continuing Education for all three Structural Pest Control branches, specialty training, and support for additional licensing and certifications.

Build Your Licenses – Build Your Career:

Cartwright encourages employees to advance their professional qualifications, including:

• Branch 1, 2, and 3 licensing
• Applicator, Field Representative, and Operator licenses
• QAC and QAL
• Additional DPR categories
• Fish & Wildlife-related licensing
• Fumigation, bird, wildlife, and exclusion training

At Cartwright, gaining another license should open another door. Advancement opportunities may include specialty services, inspections, sales, account management, supervision, training, quality assurance, and management.

Rodent Control – More Than Bait Stations:

Our rodent programs focus on identifying the cause of the problem, not just treating immediate activity.

Technicians inspect for:

• Entry points and structural openings
• Nesting and harborage
• Food and water sources
• Sanitation conditions
• Conducive conditions contributing to ongoing activity

Recommendations may include trapping, baiting, exclusion, sanitation corrections, remediation, structural repairs, and long-term prevention.

Compensation & Benefits:

Starting pay depends on licensing, experience, technical ability, driving record, and overall qualifications.

Eligible full-time employees may receive:

• $23.00–$28.00 per hour
• Commission on eligible sales
• Nighttime work incentive pay
• Medical insurance
• Dental insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• In-house Continuing Education
• Licensing and certification support
• Advancement opportunities

No high-pressure selling. We want technicians who can identify legitimate customer needs, explain conditions professionally, and recommend appropriate solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Perform residential and commercial pest-control services
• Inspect and identify pest activity and contributing conditions
• Apply IPM principles
• Service rodent bait stations and traps
• Inspect for rodent entry points, nesting, and conducive conditions
• Develop rodent-control recommendations, including exclusion, sanitation, remediation, and structural corrections

• Explain findings and recommendations to customers
