Learn More About Instinct Pest Management

My name is Anthony McMichael, and Instinct Pest Management realizes my dream to break away from the industry and provide a quality experience with a personal touch. I have more than 11 years of experience in pest control and have seen that very few companies go above and beyond for their clients. I am here to tell you that Instinct Pest Management treats every client’s home as if it were our grandmother’s and every small business as our own.

Who We are at Instinct Pest Management

Instinct Pest Management began as a dream several years ago while the owner, Anthony, was working for someone else in a different pest control company. When the opportunity presented itself to step out on his own and create a business model that would be free of the sometimes questionable practices he had seen in others, he leaped on it like a fox on a vole. 

Anthony is the owner and primary service technician for Instinct Pest Management and likely who you’ll be greeted by when we come out to help you with your ant infestation or unwanted rodent guests. His years of experience combined with an insatiable desire to learn means he’s constantly researching ways to improve his services.

Man Holding A Sprayer - Hillsboro, OR - Instinct Pest Management LLC

Residing in the Portland Area For
More Than 20 Years

He has lived in the Portland, Oregon, area for nearly twenty years and is finally comfortable calling himself a resident. While he will always have a special place in his heart for palm trees and the smell of sagebrush, the lush green beauty of the Pacific Northwest now feels like home. Plus, there aren’t any rattlesnakes in Portland!

The Instinct Team includes Anthony’s spouse, Morgan, who serves primarily as a content creator and brainstorming buddy. Eric, their son, is in charge of customer service and is the company's routing specialist.

Morgan enjoys writing and a variety of artistic pursuits and is working on building their own business as a potter and ceramics artist. They have lived in the PNW most of their life, settling here after moving around a lot as a kid. While Morgan isn't a pest technician, they have a degree in public health and sustainable food systems, which includes many courses in environmental health, permaculture and IPM techniques, and biochemistry.

Anthony and Morgan enjoy hiking, camping, playing D&D, and eating Pho while watching Forged in Fire. They are well cared for by their terrier mix and their cat overlord.
