In this video I briefly wanted to address that we need more young people to become Pesticide Applicators.
The current demographic that are Pesticide applicators are aging. This will leave a massive void in the market place that will open up a massive amount of opportunity for younger people who get into this industry.
Take Care.

You mentioned that the larger companies are driving prices down. I was thinking of getting started with my own business by undercutting the bigger companies. Would you do a video about pricing? I have a 1/3 acre lot with about 9000sqft of lawn. Currently the franchise companies that I've hired (here in Utah) charge me $90 (every 3 weeks) for a mosquito treatment with a backpack sprayer, and a generic weed and feed treatment costs me $145. I felt that was pricey for the 15 minutes they spend spraying my yard. Thanks! Really glad I found your channel!

I can do a video on Mosquito Control pricing. For context, my base application is $89.00 per application and it's on a 3 week cycle. Someone in a local Facebook group called a national chain and me for quotes. I was double the price of the national chain... but, there is no way I would be profitable charging $45 per application. I would highly discourage undercutting as a tactic. A race to the bottom is a race where no one wins.

@@ElevateApplicate I agree. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m attempting to switch careers from software engineering to starting a business in pest and lawn 😅 I have a lot of catching up to do without having previous knowledge and experience. I’ll definitely have many video ideas for ya haha

im a commercial technician who works under an applicator but i spray every day, primarily weed control+ also soil aeration i see what your saying, barely any young dudes in this industry. only me and 2 others are in there 20's where i work. i can see why its not popular though the pay sucks and its very hard work atleast in my experience so idk, maybe i should start my own business in it lol

I am not sure where you work or what state you are in, but pay definitely varies state to state. Here in Michigan for lawn Technicians I believe the standard pay rate is really close to $20/hr. You can find opportunities that pay better. In my own company we have a hybrid model of hourly vs commission. We pay whichever is greater to our techs. Generally if my techs are hitting commission pay they are making $28-$40/hour. Starting your own business can be very advantageous. It doesn't come without its headaches.

Are you studying to become a Certified Pesticide Applicator? If so, this RU-vid series is what I would watch. Also, the Michigan adendum should be studied (it's all of our local state laws).
