I strongly recommend Keith for all your pest control needs. He's very responsive and good at explaining what he's going to do. We had a yellowjacket nest right in our front yard by the sidewalk—our mailman had decided he couldn't deliver mail anymore! Was really happy with how Keith dealt with the nest, and he even came by a week later for a second treatment after we saw a few survivors. I chose Keith because he is IPM certified, and I'm very happy with my choice.

Keith was so nice, professional and best of all cares deeply about the environment and avoiding toxic chemicals. The treatment was quick effective and did the trick within days. I have already recommended him to several friends and will definitely call again! Thanks Keith!

We had a great experience with Keith at Pest & Pollinator. We needed a raccoon latrine removed, and Keith made the whole process straightforward from start to finish. He was easy to communicate with over text, quick to coordinate, and managed to fit us into his schedule. He clearly explained his process, and took the time to answer our questions. He thoroughly removed the latrine and even applied a free deterrent to keep them from returning. The issue is completely resolved and the raccoons haven't been back. Keith is reliable, professional, and provides excellent service. I’d highly recommend him for any pest or wildlife needs.

So happy we found Keith and his integrated approach to dealing with pests. We’d been dealing with sugar ants for weeks and wanted them gone – but didn’t want to kill all the other creepy crawlers because we’re trying to get our Backyard Habitat Certification. The good news: Keith’s company is approved to work with yards going through the program. Keith speaks fluent ant – understanding their behaviors and possessing the uncanny ability to quickly locate their colonies. We really appreciated how thorough he was – explaining what he was doing every step of the way. Since Keith came out, we’ve been ant free ever since.

We had a huge inground bee nest with over 200 plus bees right next to our pool. We were having a party and needed to have them gone asap! Keith came in super short notice had them all gone within a half an hour! Super easy to work with and great guy!

Keith did is incredibly thorough and conscientious. He took his time listening to issues and assessing the situation before suggesting a course of action. He properly set expectations by making us aware of the lead time necessary to see meaningful results and he was spot on. Moreover, he made it clear our level of ant traffic would probably require a second pass in a few weeks and that he would come back out for free if the problem wasn't 100% resolved. Sure enough, we had a one particularly resilient corner of our house after a few weeks. When Keith proactively circled back, we gave him the update and he was back at our house a couple of days later at no charge. We are ant free and very satisfied. (Thanks Keith!)

I got a good assessment of the extent of a raccoon presence, confirming it didn't extend to crawl space, and was able to evict and seal. They're still around, great, but no crash pad at my house!

Pest & Pollinator is great! Exterminator Keith is unlike any exterminator that I have ever met and he helped me with a developing carpenter ant issue. Keith is very professional, tactful and discriminating, and cares about the environment. He didn't just trample through my house blasting poison everywhere like every other exterminator I've ever met. Keith listened to my goals like not stressing or harming my dogs during the process, not putting toxic stuff in my home, and definitely not killing insects indiscriminately because I recognize how important it is to protect declining insect populations. He spent time carefully inspecting my house and yard (even pulled out a ladder and looked at my roof), taught me about carpenter ant behavior and environmental modifications that deter without poison, and showed me things about my house that I never noticed. I forgot what he put down to stop my carpenter ant problem, but he used very little and very judiciously. Within two days, the ants were gone. I am always so grossed out by extermination companies that brag about killing animal and insects. I really felt that Keith respects and cares for animal like and the environment while also recognizing that we sometimes need insects to not harm us. I can't recommend Pest & Pollinator enough.

Keith did an incredible job helping us manage problematic ants on our property. Keith was quick to meet with us and provided an explanation the entire way about his process. He successfully dealt with the ants using products and measures that were safe for both humans and animals. Approaching 2 months ant free! Would highly recommend Keith and Pest & Pollinator!!

Keith is the best. He thoughtfully and thoroughly took care to diagnose the issue and designed a treatment that fit the situation. Pest and Pollinator will not try to upsell or bind you in a contract like its competitors. Keith also understood and respected why I wanted to keep the spiders around the property. That meant a lot. Overall, Pest and Pollinator is amazing. Choose them.

Keith Chaloux

Owner / Operator • Pest & Pollinator LLC

For over a decade, Keith has been managing habitat around Portland Oregon. First as a habitat restoration crew member, then leader, he gained valuable hands-on experience with ecology & native plants.

In 2016, Keith was licensed for tree, turf & shrub care, wildlife control, and pest control for just about anything. From beavers to blackberry & ants to rats, experience showed there’s a common thread. When native species are protected, the ecosystem seems to function better and do it’s own pest control.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) helps to protect the natural systems that sustain biodiversity.

In early 2021 he left Pioneer Pest Management to start Pest & Pollinator LLC with a mission to promote habitat restoration & provide safe IPM solutions in the pest control industry.

In his free time Keith likes to look at bugs in his organic garden, explore the outdoors, and stand in the front at local Portland shows.
