Pest Control Tech - Service Minded Person (No Pest Exp Needed!)

At Kenney’s Pest Control, we are a service company first — pest control is simply how we serve our customers. NO PEST EXPERIENCE NEEDED!

For over 50 years, families and businesses in the Quad Cities have trusted our name. That trust was built one visit at a time, one relationship at a time, and one technician at a time.

We are looking for someone who understands that this role is about more than eliminating pests — it’s about protecting homes, reducing stress, and building long-term relationships.

This position is not for someone looking for “just a job.”
It is for someone who wants to build a career serving people.

If you enjoy meeting new people, solving real-world problems, and taking pride in doing things the right way, we would like to meet you.

We are always happy to train the right person.
