Company Background:
Addison Pest Control is an award-winning pest control company, best known for our bed bug extermination work. We offer a full range of residential and commercial pest control services to homeowners, renters, and commercial businesses located in Ontario. Our headquarters are located in downtown Toronto near Spadina & Dundas (Chinatown).
We pride ourselves on having never failed to eliminate any pest problem. We were named “Best of the City” by Toronto Life Magazine, recently won the Consumer Choice Award, and have had numerous media appearances in print, radio, and television including The Globe and Mail, CBC News, CTV News, Global News, Reader’s Digest, and many more.
All of our employees are true experts, with ample field experience after extensive training. Fully insured and certified by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, we are committed to solving any pest problem in an effective, ethical, and safe manner with our clients, their pets, and the environment in mind.
Position Summary:
As a pest control technician (an “exterminator”), your role will include driving to clients’ homes, offices, or commercial locations to perform inspections and pest remediation services. You will also be in charge of filling out the appropriate diagnostic report after each visit. If you like to work with your hands in an active work environment while helping people, this is the job for you.
To thrive as an exterminator you should be someone who enjoys providing exceptional customer service, is empathetic and enjoys helping people, and also is someone who enjoys challenges and problem-solving.
A number of our employees enjoy working 3 or 4 days per week which accommodates their creative professional pursuits (photographers, musicians, writers, filmmakers, etc). However, we are currently prioritizing individuals who can work 4-5 days per week and occasional or regular weekends.
Exciting career advancement opportunities within a rapidly growing company.

Meet the physical demands of the job including moving and shifting furniture and heavy objects, bending, crouching, wearing a respirator, and occasionally working in confined spaces or at heights. Using leverage and having the strength to safely lift large mattresses and flip couches upside down on one’s own is an essential regular task.
