Pablos Pest Management

Pest control technicians get rid of pests that are a danger to health or that damage crops or food.

They deal with insects such as fleas, lice, wasps, cockroaches and beetles.

They also deal with animals and birds such as mice, rats, grey squirrels, moles, pigeons and seagulls.

The Work

You could be:

• Visiting homes, shops, offices, factories, warehouses, farms and other places to identify and control pests
• Using a gun, trap, poison or insecticide to kill pests
• Using non-poisonous methods to kill pests in places where food is manufactured, packed or sold
• Looking for evidence of pests, working out the extent of the problem and deciding how to treat it
• Arranging evacuation if necessary, spraying the premises (fumigation), laying traps and checking them
• Collecting samples of droppings, skin castings, live or dead animals or damaged food products, for scientific analysis
• Proofing areas to prevent pests returning: building screens, sealing holes, putting fine mesh over air vents or spikes on a building to stop pigeons landing
• Keeping records of inspections and treatments done and giving advice to stop further infestations.
• Keeping up with new innovations in electrical pest control technology.
