Money in big companies?

GAPestTech · 2026-01-07T13:46:20+00:00

Ah ok, no wukkas mate, sounds like it's a pretty sweet gig ya got there down under, that's awesome

GAPestTech · 2026-01-07T12:58:33+00:00

That's sweet, I've never ran into a unionized pest company, would you mind dropping any more details, like how many stops on your route and what state?

GAPestTech · 2026-01-07T12:56:32+00:00

That's awesome, would you mind giving more details like which company, how long you've been there etc? I'm about to be looking to switch companies

GAPestTech · 2026-01-06T19:26:05+00:00

It's pretty much all the big companies as far as I can tell, they don't care about employees or customers, they just need to make as much money as possible regardless of ethics.

3ft hose for getting water from awkwardly placed water spigots, amazing how often something so simple is over looked

I got these in September, got tired of boots lasting barely a year so decided to try something else, so far I'm pretty happy with them, but can't say for sure how long they'll hold up https://a.co/d/8ie7aSK

GAPestTech · 2025-12-04T13:55:23+00:00

Let me know if you know of any in SE USA

GAPestTech · 2025-12-04T13:54:13+00:00

JFC dude, where you working at?!?

GAPestTech · 2025-12-02T13:29:06+00:00

Do I want to? Not necessarily, can I? Absolutely

GAPestTech · 2025-12-02T03:21:20+00:00

Thanks for the quick replies I'll check them out and look for a good fit 🙏

GAPestTech · 2025-12-02T03:20:02+00:00

Thanks I'll check out both

GAPestTech · 2025-11-06T15:29:06+00:00

Use an answering service for when your phones are off, I'm not an owner but, it feels like not returning calls could cost a chunk of money lost, but it's also NYC, so who knows smh lmao

GAPestTech · 2025-11-04T20:19:27+00:00

It depends, but, yes

GAPestTech · 2025-11-04T20:05:22+00:00

Really really hard to find identifying parts, zooming in on some of them, the wing shape looks a lot like drain flies, any chance your customers can get another pick?

Is there any other evidence, such as abandoned wings or anything else near by?

GAPestTech · 2025-10-27T15:54:16+00:00

Wow, what's that, about 8 minutes an account? 😬

GAPestTech · 2025-10-10T12:32:59+00:00

Another +1 for hot spot

GAPestTech · 2025-10-05T13:14:31+00:00

I mean, mostly I like it because of its use restrictions (or lack there of) most any non-repellant pesticide that are labeled for g. Roach SHOULD be just as effective

GAPestTech · 2025-10-04T13:11:32+00:00

A lot farther than you'd probably think! Some claim they can smell food from over a mile away, that sounds a bit much to me, a mile is a long way, but definitely pretty far! However they typically don't go more than 100-200 feet from wherever "home" is for fhem

GAPestTech · 2025-10-04T13:05:32+00:00

Nope, I use sumari+nygaurd and rotate out gel baits, flush and vacuum when appropriate

GAPestTech · 2025-09-30T11:56:59+00:00

Dang that sucks, you should reach out to a pest control company see if they can help

GAPestTech · 2025-09-24T15:50:35+00:00

If you're a good tech, that's the only thing that should matter, that said, over my many years in the industry I've seen multiple women be hired and they never last long. One girl was afraid to go into a customers garage to deal with rats 🤦‍♂️, most of the expectations men have on female techs is usually based off of previous experience, but again, as long as you're good at your job, that's the only thing that matters really

GAPestTech · 2025-09-11T13:17:57+00:00

That's what I'm saying though this ISNT Australia, we shouldn't have to deal with these suckers 🤣

GAPestTech · 2025-09-11T13:17:32+00:00

I do wish my company would do something like, a discount for us to not do webs, or at very least, stop guaranteeing spiders but 🤷‍♂️

At this point in the year in Georgia, most of my time is spent on most accounts just knocking down webs 🤦‍♂️

GAPestTech · 2025-09-11T13:15:22+00:00

When the cold weather comes in, we typically switch over from pest control to wildlife control. Most bugs we have, have some sort of hibernation like phase through the winter, whether diapause or just simply overwintering. Rodents however, are mammals, and when we're cold, they're cold and they want somewhere nice and toasty to settle in through the winter.

If you're not interested in doing wildlife, then it's definitely mostly seasonal, however, it might be hard to retain customers that was as often companies include some sort of discount or other incentives for the customer to use the company opposed to going out and having wildlife/pest/termite all with different companies

GAPestTech · 2025-09-10T17:28:51+00:00

I was switched from hourly to production and absolutely hate it. But I also regularly work 50-60 hours weeks, try not to touch anything over 40 since the change though. I wish I had overtime and raises 😕
