Misting System Technician: Pest Control

Misting System Technician

We're recruiting A-level team players to join a team of other A players who work hard, do excellent work, and are excited to be part of a growing company.

If that's you, and you have a talent for mechanical systems and you like working around horses and other animals, we want to talk to you.

United Mosquito & Fly Control is a family-owned Kansas City company with more than 20 years of success. A major part of our business is installing and servicing custom fly-control systems in horse barns and other equestrian facilities.

We’re looking for A-level team players — people who work at exceptionally high standards independently, support their team, are mechanically minded, and thrive when they spend the day working outside rather than behind a desk.

What You'll Do

• Travel to equestrian properties and high-end residences throughout the Kansas City area and surrounding regions
• Install custom designed insect-control misting systems in barns, in residential yards, and other settings
• Assess and refill existing insect-control misting systems
• Perform maintenance and seasonal service to the systems on a route
• Perform other pest-control services as needed
• Talk with customers and provide outstanding service every single time
• Be part of a small but growing team of dedicated people who work independently to high standards

We'll Teach You!

Previous pest control experience or equestrian experience is helpful, but not required.

It's much more important that you are an A player, and that you know how to work on a team of other A players.

We are a small company, and our growth and success happens only because we hire people who work hard, who do an excellent job every day, support each other, and work to the highest standards.

Here's who we're looking for:

• An A-level team player — your current boss and co-workers are really going to miss you
• You work safely, especially when it comes to driving, using ladders, and working with pesticides
• You don't just get the job done every day, you get it done so well that you're proud of it
• You care not just about how your work functions but also about how it looks when it's done — a picky customer is going to be happy with it
• You're mechanically inclined and very comfortable using tools
• You don't mind carrying and climbing ladders
• You're happy working around horses and other animals
• You work independently and solve problems, but you'll ask questions when you need to
• You're fine getting dirty, dusty, and working outdoors
• You're friendly and professional with customers
• And of course, you're a safe driver with a clean driving record and a clean criminal background check

Experience in maintenance, agriculture, construction, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, landscaping, or other hands-on work is helpful, but not required.

What We Offer

• Paid training
• Company-paid certification and licensing
• 2 weeks paid time off
• 6 paid holidays
• Monthly healthcare stipend
• Company truck
• Independent, hands-on work
• Awesome co-workers who are all A-level team players
• A new job site every day (many are very beautiful properties!)
• Opportunity to learn a specialized trade with an established family-owned company

Not Your Typical Pest Control Job

This position is primarily about installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting fly-control systems that help keep horse barns comfortable for horses, owners, employees, and visitors.

If you're an A-player, mechanically minded, comfortable around horses, and willing to learn — we can teach you the rest.

For the right person, this isn't a job, it's the start of a career. That's who we're looking for.
