An Australian company, Competitive Pest Services, is currently recruiting two technicians to assist during their peak summer season (October 2019 – April 2020).
Fancy working six months in pest control in Australia?

If you are between 18 and 34 years old and currently work in the UK pest control industry you could swap the UK winter and experience a summer in Australia. Your return flights will be covered, you’ll earn AUD$1,000 per week (around £544) and gain some fabulous experience of pests down under!

Pest magazine featured last year’s successful recruits in Pest Issue 59 October & November 2018 when they started out and, again, in Pest Issue 62 May & June 2019 when they reflected on their fabulous experiences working on the other side of the world.
