pest control specialist

Vermin removal expert

A pest control specialist is a professional who eliminates or manages unwanted insects, rodents, and other creatures from homes and businesses.

The work ranges from routine prevention to emergency infestations.

Also called an exterminator, though pest control specialist is the preferred industry term: We called a pest control specialist about the termites.
