Kimberly Camera
Founder & Field Operator — Coastal K9 Pest Solutions
More than 35 years in canine detection, wildlife management, and integrated pest control — a depth of field knowledge that can’t be manufactured in a classroom.
Detection Before Treatment. Every Time.
From FEMA search-and-rescue to pest detection
Kim’s career in working dogs began long before pest control. As a certified FEMA Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) canine handler, she deployed across the country with live-find and cadaver-recovery dogs, training rigorously as part of one of only 26 nationally recognized FEMA canine teams. That foundation — built on precision, accountability, and performance under real-world pressure — informs every program she develops and every team she trains today.
With a background in wildlife biology, Kim treats pest and rodent control holistically: considering the ecosystem, habitat modification, and the ethics of every method before a single product is applied.
A company built on precision
When Kim transitioned into pest management, she built something purpose-driven from the ground up. Coastal K9 Pest Solutions operates across five service divisions, and the philosophy is direct: detection before treatment, every time. Certified K9 detection is the intelligence that drives every program — identifying exactly where pest pressure exists so that rodenticide and pesticide application is focused, targeted, and justified by data. That precision is what separates a sound IPM program from a reactive one.
