Summary
I have been employed in the pest control industry the moment i arrived to the US from the netherlands back in 2013. First started with termites with Mr Bugman. This company was specialized in termite pretreatments for commercial locations. The next few employers (Burns and Mikes Swat Team) were mostly engaged in residential and multifamily general pest services including birds and rodents. My last employer, Arizona Heat specialized in bed bug treatments and hired me at the time to branch out into general residential pest services as well as providing both heat treatments and chemical treatments for bed bugs. Now, at the time of my leaving the company we managed to grow over two full routes in just 1.5 years of starting.
As a Pest control technician working with these various companies i have received education and gained extensive experience treating for a multitude of pest problems allowing me to be truly multifunctional. Clients on my routes have always been consistently satisfied with my services and in my recollection i have never once received a complaint from a client. I have great communication skills, an eagerness to please and i am a very courteous and safe driver. Additionally i am very comfortable with sales and determining pricing for various jobs that are called in using established company protocols.
