Do I need experience to work as a pest control technician at Green Guard?

No experience is required! We provide comprehensive paid training for all new hires. Many of our best technicians started with zero pest control experience. We look for people with great attitudes, reliability, and customer service skills—we'll teach you the rest.

What certifications do I need to become an exterminator in Idaho?

Idaho requires pest control technicians to work under a licensed applicator for the first year, then pass the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) exam. Green Guard covers all certification costs and provides study materials and mentorship to help you pass on your first attempt.

Is pest control a good career in Idaho?

Yes. The pest control industry is stable and growing, driven by Idaho's booming population. Every new home needs pest protection. You'll learn a trade that's always in demand, get certified, and build skills you can take anywhere. Plus, you're outside, you're independent, and you're helping real people solve real problems.
