Here are some fun facts about Chaunsey:

What is your favorite part of the position?

Honestly, my favorite part is being outside. I love nature and being in nature. I’ve worked in an office before, and I mean it was okay, but it wasn’t for me.  There is mental stimulation, but not much physical stimulation. I like this job more because it lets me be more active and I enjoy that.

What led you to work for Mosquito Joe?

Well, I used to be an Uber driver. I ended up picking up Charles one day (Charles is one of our technicians here at Mosquito Joe of North Atlanta) and we were talking during the ride. By the time I dropped him off at home he had given me his job information and told me to apply. Before I pulled off, I remember the wind blowing and knocking the leaves off a cherry blossom tree, it was so beautiful. I took it as a sign, and so I applied for the job.

What is your favorite Mosquito Joe tagline?

My favorite tagline would have to be, “Itching for a solution.” It’s just funny to me and I feel like you can apply it to so many things.

What has been your funniest experience while working here?

One day, Me and Charles were headed to treat a house. This customer wanted to meet us before we treated the home so, Charles went to ring the doorbell. I saw a little boy answer the door and then I must have turned to get my equipment because I didn’t see what exactly happened next. Next thing I know, Charles is running right toward the van, screaming “open the door, move over!” There were two big dogs behind him, chasing him! I guess they must have gotten out when the little boy opened the door. I didn’t realize what was going on until he was in the van. I laughed all the way to the next property once I figured it out.

What has been your scariest experience while working here?

I went to treat a property a day after it rained. I noticed the house was on a hill, but I didn’t think about it too much. The customer had a patch of pine straw in the yard. I went to walk over it and ended up sliding. I realized I couldn’t stop myself from falling so, I tried to just stay as balanced as possible and managed to slide all the way down the hill on the pine straw.

Meet Charles Bray, around here he is known as, “The Cool, Calm & Collected Tech.” Charles is currently working his second season with Mosquito Joe of North Atlanta and says that he loves his job, even when he must break a sweat to get it done.

What is your favorite part of the position?

My favorite part of my job is my job itself. I personally don’t like mosquitoes; I never have and I know they bother other people too. I like being able to get rid of them, so people can feel comfortable coming outside without getting bit.

What led you to work for Mosquito Joe?

I was doing some work with my uncle originally, but when that slowed down, I had to find something else. I saw an ad on craigslist for Mosquito Joe and I had prior experience, so I decided to apply.

What is your favorite Mosquito Joe tagline?

My favorite line is actually, “If you’re wearing bug spray, you’re overdressed,” because bug spray smells so weird to me.

What has been your funniest experience while working here?

Well, it was a day after it had rained. I had to go spray a few houses the next day, which is a typical thing considering the rain doesn’t affect our spraying schedule too much usually. The house I had to spray was on a hill. When I went to spray the yard, I noticed it was on a slant, but I didn’t think too much of it. Then I fell and slid all the way to the bottom of the yard, I looked around and nobody saw, so I just got up and kept spraying. I know it was a funny sight.

What has been your scariest experience while working here?

I was treating a home, and I was unaware that the customer owned pets. As I made my way to the front door to inform the customer that the treatment was complete, two large dogs emerged and began chasing me. I had to run as fast as I could back to the truck. My co-worker of course found it hilarious and laughed all the way to the next house.

Meet Jason Hwang, our self-proclaimed, “fearless technician.” Jason is a technician for Mosquito Joe of North Atlanta and says there is not a bug in the world that he fears!

Here are some fun facts about Jason:

What is your favorite part of the position?
Because I’m a student, I tend to spend a lot of time sitting or even laying – I don’t get much exercise. Doing this job has helped me stay active because I get to walk around and be outside all day instead of crammed up inside studying.

What led you to work for Mosquito Joe?
My friend Seth was already working here, and he loved it. He told me to give it try and even gave me a refence and now here I am.

What is your favorite Mosquito Joe tagline?
My favorite one is “your backyard, our battlefield” because it’s reality. We come there to do a job and with that in mind, that is the perfect tagline.

What has been your funniest experience while working here?
It was actually my first day on the job. I feel like I may have jinxed myself because I distinctly remember saying this wouldn’t happen and then it happened. I was putting on and adjusting my pack and the five-gallon tank attached to it fell and spilled all over me. I was soaked!

What has been your scariest experience while working here?
I haven’t had any to be honest and I’m definitely not afraid of bugs, or this would be a bad job to do.
