Keith Kelley is the owner and founder of Bangor Pest, a locally owned pest management company serving Bangor, Brewer, Hampden, Hermon, Old Town, Orono, Ellsworth, Deer Isle, Searsport and surrounding Maine communities. With more than 15 years of professional pest management experience and over a decade serving customers throughout the Greater Bangor area, Keith has built a reputation for providing honest recommendations, thorough inspections, and effective solutions for residential and commercial pest problems. Keith founded Bangor Pest with a simple goal: to provide homeowners and businesses with personalized service, expert knowledge, and effective pest management without the high-pressure sales tactics and long-term contracts often associated with larger companies. Every customer works directly with Keith, ensuring clear communication, accountability, and attention to detail from the initial inspection through treatment and follow-up.

Keith is an Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE), a professional designation awarded by the Entomological Society of America to individuals who demonstrate advanced knowledge of insect biology, behavior, and pest management. He also holds a Maine Commercial Master Applicator License and has completed advanced Integrated Pest Management (IPM) training through Purdue University.

His professional training includes:

• Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE)
• Maine Commercial Master Applicator (Categories 7A & 7E)
• Purdue University Integrated Pest Management Training
• QualityPro Public Health Certifications

• Food Safety and Sanitation Training
• Rodent Management and Mosquito Management Specialty Training

Keith believes effective pest control starts with understanding the pest, identifying why it is present, and developing a long-term solution. His approach emphasizes Integrated Pest Management (IPM), combining inspection, exclusion, sanitation, habitat modification, monitoring, and targeted treatments to provide effective control while minimizing unnecessary pesticide use.

This science-based approach allows Bangor Pest to provide customized solutions for common Maine pest problems including carpenter ants, rodents, bed bugs, ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches, spiders, wasps, and seasonal invaders.

As a local business owner, Keith understands the unique pest pressures Maine homeowners and businesses face throughout the year. From carpenter ant activity in the spring to rodents seeking shelter in the fall, Bangor Pest provides practical, effective solutions tailored to Maine's climate and pest challenges.

When Keith isn't servicing customers, he continues to pursue advanced industry education and training to stay current with evolving pest management techniques, regulations, and best practices.
