Pest control is where a huge share of door-to-door careers start. Reps sell recurring quarterly or monthly service plans, mostly in summer programs where the company relocates the team to a market for four months. The sale is quick, the training is structured, and the skills transfer to every other industry.
What a day looks like
- Knock from mid-morning until dark in an assigned area.
- Sell a recurring service agreement, usually with a first service within 24-48 hours.
- Schedule the technician, confirm the first service, and move to the next door.
- Track daily numbers: doors, conversations, sales, and a team board.
How pest control reps get paid
Commission per account, often with the amount tied to the contract value and a back-end bonus based on how many accounts stay active through the year. Summer programs usually include housing. Some companies offer a small hourly base or draw.
