About us
Reliable Exterminators is a local, family owned Pest Control company that employs about 16 full time employees. We provide steady and consistent work for high quality staff. Our employees thrive because we care about them and develop each person's skills and strengths.
Do you like working by yourself? Do you enjoy working outside?
Reliable Exterminators is hiring for a Service Technician to visit our customers’ homes and businesses to solve their pest problems. You’ll drive a company truck, and we will provide you with the training and the supplies necessary to follow the industry’s best practices. Be part of the Reliable Exterminators’ legacy: over 87 years and 4 generations of local, honest, reliable general pest and termite control in Tippecanoe and 13 surrounding counties.
Not just a job! Great Opportunity for candidates seeking a new career! Most people don't realize that Pest Control provides a stable, long term career. Over the years we've had many technicians retire after a long career with us. Apply your experience from construction, re-modeling, outside work, landscaping, or any other independent work positions.
