We have a problem with western conifer seed bugs. Is there some sort of pest control for them?

Western conifer seed bugs are one of many species of overwintering insects. If the issue is them coming indoors in the Fall, then exclusion is your best answer. Seal them out. Pest proof cracks/gaps under your siding, roofline, soffits, any utility penetrations like hvac lines, screen any foundation vents and look for gaps around door and window frames. Unfortunately, if you are already seeing them indoors, it is too late for sealing this year. Water based residual insecticide applications to these entry points outside may give some relief but the bugs may not die until indoors. Their carcasses can then cause problems with various dermestid beetles. Vacuum removal is the best remedy for bugs that are already in the living space.

Will I be required to work weekends?

Yes. We are a service industry and may have clients whom request a Saturday appointment. Most positions are required to work one Saturday per month till noon.
