Back to Work

April 25th, 2020 by Tuff Turf Molebusters
It felt great to drive my car in to work today. There were only 5 cars on the road at 6:45, but 3 of them waved. They could be clients of ours, but our team mentioned that yesterday afternoon people walking on the streets were waving at us as though they are glad to see us working again. I actually parked the car on 3/24 and did not drive it again because I felt like a criminal as people glared at me on the way to Family Fare. I felt like I had to explain that I always drive a company car and was on my way to get groceries, and not going to work.
We will sanitize, wear masks and gloves all day at work because it feels great to be outside and servicing our clients again!

Mosquito & Mole Technician

April 19th, 2018 by Tuff Turf Molebusters

Tuff Turf Molebusters is looking for both a full time and a seasonal mole man (or woman). The seasonal position is a great opportunity for a college student that can work a few days a week now, then full time in mid May. The full time position would start immediately. We do not work on Sundays. Be one of the proud drivers of a mole mobile. Get paid while you get in shape and enjoy our great and not so great Michigan Weather. While mosquitoes may travel at the speed of 1 mph, our mole & mosquito gurus walk over 10 miles a day. The pay is $15.00 per hour, plus bonuses that could add another $3.00/hr. We start at 7:30 in the morning and work until the route is done. We try to set up our routes to be completed by 5:00. Some days are longer and some days are shorter. We require a clean driving record and we perform drug screens and criminal background checks. An android based smart phone with data and texting is preferred, but we can work around an iPhone. We pride ourselves on having a great reputation and only hiring good people. We can train how to become a mole and mosquito assassin. There are 3 tests given by the state that will need to be passed in order to become certified. We have the study manuals, you need to provide the brain power.
