Key findings
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is not likely to impact the work of pest control workers.
Their role involves a range of skills like reading comprehension, critical thinking, and complex problem-solving, which are beyond the current capabilities of AI.
Additionally, tasks such as active listening, coordination, and physical operations monitoring require human capabilities that AI cannot replicate.
As the demand for premium pest control services grows, the need for skilled workers in this field will remain strong, ensuring that blue-collar workers in pest control are shielded from major AI disruption.
How could AI or automation replace or complement job activities?
AI, automation, or LLMs like Chatgpt could assist Pest Control Workers by analyzing infestation data, suggesting treatment methods, and estimating costs.
However, they may not fully replace workers in tasks requiring physical presence, such as spraying chemicals or setting traps.
For instance, AI could streamline administrative tasks like record-keeping, but workers’ expertise in identifying and handling infestations remains crucial.
Job description
