Why most people fail the Pest Control exam

Official programs show pass rates hovering between 50% and 70%, even among candidates with field experience. Without structured study, many people face multiple attempts… and lose valuable time, money, and potential wage increases.

Why Pest Control?

Most technicians didn’t plan to work in pest control. They started with “I just need a stable job”… and discovered a career.

Companies train you, pay your license, and promote you fast. And once you learn the work, starting your own route becomes a real option—not a dream.

If you like practical work and real results, this industry was built for you.
