@InspectionIvy Great advice. One more: build relationships with local HVAC, roofing, landscaping pros. Those guys spot pest-entry points you might miss and refer you business.
Understand the growing demand for low-tox, eco-friendly solutions. As a technician, knowing alternatives (baits, traps, physical barriers) gives you an edge with informed homeowners.
Stay curious. The pest world constantly evolves—new materials, new habits, new regulations. Attend webinars, read updates, and learn from each job. That’s what separates good techs from average ones.
