You do not need a driver’s license explicitly to become an exterminator however, the pest control job requires you to travel extensively to get from one job to the other job within a certain time frame. As you will work throughout the region and different cities, you will need to find the fastest way to get from A to B, and that is by car. To carry out the work,  the minimum requirements are to have a full G-license from the provincial government in the province that you are residing in. Pest control jobs have an incredible variety of locations that can cover different kinds of structures, neighborhoods, and establishments. Working in the pest control industry is an incredibly amazing experience as you get to travel and meet people as part of your responsibilities and duties. With that kind of freedom, the job comes with perks as well as you get to know the people and the unique neighborhoods that they are a part of. Throughout the day you will be visiting a range of different communities that you wouldn’t even think of visiting if it wasn’t for the job. 

 If this sounds a little bit far fetched, it is, but that does not mean that it is not true. To be an exterminator means to be able to deal with people in their most sensitive and vulnerable state. This can range from anger to anxiety, and it is up to the pest control technician to make the best out of it and to remain cool and collected under any circumstance. People that have called often see you as the last resort after trying everything on the market. Professional intervention is their last ticket to a return of normal life, so the position carries a lot of weight. The pest control industry can be called a  people business rather than a pest business because of the professional bonds you form with your fellow community member while working on a case.

With great responsibility comes great power as uncle Ben once told Peter and this rings true than in the pest control industry as you are in charge of the whole operation from start to finish. How you handle the infestation or the situation will determine how successful the result will be in the end. Communicating is an important aspect of the job that just cannot be avoided and is key to becoming a great exterminator.
