• laying poison and traps or using air guns to control birds and animals
• repairing an area to stop pests returning
• advising people how to prevent further problems

Your normal working day is Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 5.00pm, although during the summer, out of hours work is common and offered. Your day, on occasion will go beyond 5.00pm to complete customer needs.

You'll often work alone, driving to jobs in a van.
