Pest management is a unique discipline that involves scientific knowledge in a lot of disciplines, marketing knowledge as well as people skills. Pest control is not just eradication of known insects but also understanding the terrain, and safe use of chemicals that could affect the indoor air, the atmosphere, the land and also nearby water bodies. That being said, the experts also need to learn how to manage the business, create strategies, find relevant help and support and suppliers or research facilities for new products and tools to make the job better.
There are 3 important branches. Each branch will result to a unique kind of license in order to operate. The first and most common form of license is offered to the applicator. As a structural pest control expert, his/her job is mainly in the field of the proper application of any chemicals, be it rodenticides or pesticides as well as other allied chemicals to exterminate, prevent infestation and control the pest and infection as part of the company. The applicator can only apply the products and do them properly. They cannot handle contracts and other works not covered by their license.
Another role that requires a license is the field representative. This is a licensed and specialized job that does the structural pest analysis. They identify the various infections and pests in a structure and they are also licensed to provide inspections. Part of their license benefits is application of various pesticides. They can also submit bids for a contract and represent the company. They cannot represent for their own or deal with contracts if not included in a company or as part of the company. Being part of a company is a requirement for the field representative to function.
The last branch is the operator. An operator is licensed to do the same job as the field representative and handle tasks with that of an applicator. However, the difference is that they can create and operate their own business and they can also qualify for a manager position in another company.
Pest control is a very complex business and that is why it is important that licenses are diversified in order to improve the quality of service that is offered by the individual or the company itself for the consumers. Aside from licenses, aspiring experts need to have the right education and understanding of the nature.
