Mosquito Technician

Mosquito Technician. 

The selected individual will perform the basic mosquito surveillance and abatement duties, as required by our contract with the City of Tuscaloosa, for that service. These duties include placement and retrieval of surveillance devices, sexing, identifying, recording, preparing aliquots and the transmission of the mosquito samples to a designated testing lab, and using a pre-paid label at a UPS drop off location. 

Based upon the results of testing and discovering  a “Virus Positive” test result, an immediate virus response is required, by using company designated mosquito abatement techniques, using company provided equipment and the distribution of public notice brochures, under the direction of the accessible Contract Manager. 

The job requires the ability to find mosquito breeding sites, applying pesticides to that breeding site, and general equipment service and maintenance.

Personal customer interaction is required, as the successful candidate will be responsible to address "service call" requests with individual Citizens of the City of Tuscaloosa. Corporate decorum is expected to be exhibited at all times.

Attainment of Alabama Pest Control Licensure is essential. Training and testing fees for pesticide licensing are paid for by the employer.
