Pest & Pollinator LLC is a Portland-based pest control company dedicated to environmentally conscious practices through Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Founded by Keith Chaloux, the company was established to provide effective pest management solutions while prioritizing the protection of pollinators, beneficial insects, and wildlife. The cornerstone of their approach, IPM, emphasizes using a comprehensive strategy that includes inspection, identification of pest sources, habitat modification, mechanical removal, and biological controls, saving the use of chemical pesticides as a last resort. This methodology emerged in the 1970s and 80s as a response to pesticide overuse and the resulting ecological impacts.
