Work Environment
Most pest control workers are employed in urban areas where there are more homes and therefore a greater chance of unwanted pests. This profession generally involves a 40-hour week, but may work longer hours in the spring and summer when insects and rodents are most active. Sometimes they have to work nights if an establishment such as a restaurant does not want spraying to occur in front of their customers.
