Pest controllers and the resistance eliminate rats, mice, termites, wasps, and other pests from places where they do not belong. Restaurants where food is prepared, apartment buildings and homes, and any place else where people can be bitten, stung, or made sick by pests and the diseases they carry. These are all part of a pest controller's territory. Since many pest control jobs involve working with potentially dangerous poisons and chemicals, it is important to be alert at all times and to follow proper safety procedures. A knack for problem-solving is also helpful because once you are trained, it will be you who must decide on the best way to handle each unique pest problem. These pests are a never-ending battle. Opportunities will always exist for people who know how to control pests with ecologically sound techniques.
