Every member of the Halt Pest Control team is a dedicated pest control professional. We've been delivering pest control solutions with you in mind for nearly 20 years. We're also a certified QualityPro and QualityPro Green company. That means that every Halt employee has undergone a rigorous criminal and driving background check, is up to date in their certifications and training and that Halt maintains a drug-free workplace.

All that experience and background checking is great. But we also understand that when someone comes into your home or onto your property to provide a service, having a face to connect to a name and knowing a little bit more about them can really ease your mind. Meet the Halt Pest Control team...

Rob McMaster
President

In 1990, Rob had a vision... He wanted to create a pest control company like none other. He founded Halt Pest Control, Inc. with the idea of helping people solve their pest problems with a solution that would fit their unique environment, rather than delivering a single pest control service and never seeing that person again. He and the Halt team have been doing just that ever since. Rob loves connecting with people and the challenges of leading a team and growing the business. He particularly enjoys watching the people on the Halt team grow into the Halt way of serving customers, learning from each other and expanding their professional skills.

Back in the late 80s Rob and his wife were in search of a great place to raise a family. That's when they came to the Portland area (from that state just south of Oregon) and have loved it here ever since. Rob's interests cover a lot of areas. He enjoys the outdoors and is an avid fisherman and hunter and he also enjoys traveling and spending time in the garden. He and his wife also spend a lot of time with their two daughters and their horses. Rob holds two Bachelor's Degrees from the University of the Pacific.

Tony Kennedy White
Office Manager

For 10 years now Tony has been bending over backwards to help our staff and our customers find the peace of mind that comes from knowing things are being taken care of. Good thing she's a certified yoga instructor! A native of Spokane, Washington, Tony has been in the Portland area for more than 20 years. She loves meeting and talking with new people and helping them solve problems. You'll pick that up pretty fast when you give us a call. Tony's also quite a musician - she plays both piano and guitar and is the canary of the Halt team. In 2006 she even performed in Carnegie Hall! Tony and her husband also enjoy spending time with their three kids, aged 16, 20 and 21.

Brian Freeman
Pest Management Technician

If you’ve ever seen a kid turning over rocks or old logs to look at bugs you’ve got a pretty good idea of what Brain was like as a kid. Throughout his life he’s been fascinated with insects which led to his joining the pest control industry in 2004, as well as his pursuit of a degree in entomology. Brian comes to Halt with a strong commitment to help people find solutions to their pest problems. With his knowledge of pests, he’s able to quickly offer customers the best options for taking care of them. Brain is licensed in Washington and Oregon in General Pest Management and Wood Destroying Organisms. A native of Maine, Brain enjoys hunting, fishing and outdoor sports, and he’s particularly proud of his daughter who recently graduated from interior design school and resides on the east coast.
