Familiarity with inspection tools, baiting systems, and chemical application equipment is typically required. Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication with clients are crucial soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure safe, efficient, and thorough pest management, protecting both clients and public health.
