Military AND VETERAN HIRING PROGRAMS IN PEST CONTROL 

COMPANIES THAT HIRE MILITARY VETERANS TO PROTECT HEALTH, PROPERTY AND FOOD

The professional pest control industry deeply respects and honors US military service members, their spouses, military veterans, and pest control professionals who have dedicated their time and service to our country.

Service members, military spouses and veterans have said that working in the pest control industry provides a smooth transition into civilian life, and has many parallels to serving in the military. They still protect and defend people like they did in the military, just in a different capacity as a pest control professional. The experiences these veterans had while serving gave them the skills, talents and professionalism highly desired by employers in the professional pest control industry.

Through veterans' hiring programs, the industry proudly employs military veterans from all branches of service, as their experiences have so capably prepared them for careers in professional pest control. We invite you to explore if a career in pest control is right for you and your family.
