Meet the Team: Spotlight on Kwari Stevens and Rose Tupper at Aiery Pest Control
At Aiery Pest Control, we believe great pest control starts with great people.
When you invite a pest control professional onto your property, you want someone who is knowledgeable, attentive, dependable, and genuinely interested in helping solve the problem. Behind every service visit, customer call, inspection, and treatment is a team of people who care about doing the job right.
Today, we want to introduce you to two important members of our team, Kwari Stevens and Rose Tupper.
They each bring something different to Aiery Pest Control. Kwari brings his analytical approach and fascination with pest behavior into the field, while Rose helps keep our office operations running smoothly while bringing her own creativity and love of nature to the business.
Together, they are part of what makes our family-owned pest control company special.
Meet Kwari Stevens, Pest Control Specialist
Kwari Stevens
Pest Control Specialist
Kwari has always had a keen eye for detail and a natural fascination with the insect world. What started as a genuine curiosity about how insects interact with their environments eventually became a career in pest control.
For Kwari, understanding pests goes well beyond simply knowing what an insect looks like.
He is interested in their behavior, movement patterns, biology, and the ways different species adapt to their surroundings. That curiosity has become an important part of the way he approaches his work in the field.
When Kwari arrives at a property, he isn’t simply looking for the pest that a customer has noticed. He wants to understand what is happening around the property and why the pest may be there in the first place.
Looking at Pest Control Like a Puzzle
One of the things that makes Kwari such a valuable member of our team is the analytical way he approaches pest problems.
A pest infestation doesn’t always happen for an obvious reason. There may be food, moisture, shelter, entry points, nesting areas, landscaping conditions, or other factors contributing to the activity.
Kwari likes to put those pieces together.
Where are the pests coming from? What are they looking for? How are they moving through the property? Where could they be nesting or entering the structure? What conditions could be encouraging their activity?
By thinking about those questions, he can help us better understand the situation rather than simply focusing on what is immediately visible.
That fits perfectly with our approach at Aiery Pest Control. We specialize in customized pest control and integrated pest management because we believe every property and pest problem deserves individual attention. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency explains that integrated pest management uses information about pest life cycles and their interaction with the environment to help determine appropriate management strategies.

Understanding the Science Behind the Problem
Kwari’s fascination with insects gives him a unique perspective when working with homeowners and businesses.
Different pests behave differently. Ants, cockroaches, termites, mosquitoes, rodents, spiders, and bed bugs all have their own behaviors and environmental preferences.
Understanding those differences can be important when determining what is happening at a property.
Our goal isn’t to treat every pest problem exactly the same. We want to understand the situation, identify the pest, consider the conditions contributing to the activity, and determine an appropriate approach.
Kwari’s interest in pest biology makes him particularly well suited to that process.
A Passion That Goes Beyond Pest Control
Kwari’s interest in animal behavior doesn’t end when he leaves work.
Outside of pest control, he enjoys learning more about animal behavior, staying active through martial arts and fitness, and spending quality time with his family.
That natural curiosity is one of the things we appreciate most about Kwari. He genuinely enjoys learning about the world around him, and that curiosity carries over into his work.
For someone whose career involves understanding insects and other pests, having a genuine interest in animal behavior can be a pretty useful quality.
Meet Rose Tupper
Rose Tupper
Aiery Pest Control & Tupper’s Turf Office Assistant
While Kwari spends much of his time in the field, Rose plays an important role behind the scenes.
Rose assists with bookkeeping, daily office operations, social media, and occasional field and technical support. She’s one of the people helping keep things moving from the office while also jumping in wherever she can help the team.
Her role gives her a little bit of everything, which suits her personality perfectly.
Rose enjoys learning new things, being involved in the community, working on creative projects, and getting the opportunity to experience nature up close.
A Family Business Connection
Rose has an especially interesting connection to the business.
She has been around Tupper’s Turf since she was a young kid, helping with the family business long before joining the team in her current role.
That history gives her a unique perspective on what it means to be part of a local family business.
She’s seen the work, the people, the customers, and the day-to-day effort that goes into building relationships in the community. Now, she brings that experience into her work with Aiery Pest Control and Tupper’s Turf.
For us, having people who understand the importance of community and relationships is incredibly valuable.
Rose in a Nutshell
If you asked Rose to describe herself, you’d probably get quite a list.
She’s a nature lover, blogger, creative, gamer, cat person, and Halloween enthusiast.
She’s also someone who enjoys finding ways to learn something new or create something of her own. Whether she’s working on social media, helping around the office, supporting the team in the field, or diving into one of her personal interests, Rose brings a creative energy to the business.
And then there’s Mouse.
Rose and her cat, Mouse, actually share the same birthday.
We think that’s a pretty fun fact and a perfect example of the kind of personality Rose brings to the team.
Her Favorite Part of the Job
One of Rose’s favorite parts of working with Aiery Pest Control and Tupper’s Turf is getting to see nature up close, learn new things, and be involved in the community.
That connection to nature is something we think fits naturally with what we do.
Pest control isn’t just about insects and treatments. It’s about understanding the environment around a property and finding ways to manage pest problems while being thoughtful about the people, homes, businesses, and communities we serve.
Rose’s curiosity and willingness to keep learning are a great fit for that environment.
Two Different Roles, One Great Team
Kwari and Rose may have very different roles within our company, but they have something important in common.
They are both curious.
Kwari’s curiosity leads him to study pest behavior, insect biology, movement patterns, and the conditions that can contribute to pest activity.
Rose’s curiosity leads her toward nature, creativity, technology, social media, gaming, and learning new things.
That curiosity helps make our team stronger.
At Aiery Pest Control, we are a family-owned company serving Jacksonville, Duval County, Nassau County, Fernandina Beach, Callahan, and surrounding communities. We provide customized pest control solutions for residential and commercial customers dealing with common pests such as ants, cockroaches, rodents, spiders, mosquitoes, termites, and bed bugs.
The People Behind Aiery Pest Control
We know that choosing a pest control company is about more than finding someone who can treat a pest problem.
You are inviting people into your home or business.
You want to know that the people representing the company are professional, knowledgeable, respectful, and committed to helping you.
That’s why we enjoy introducing the people behind Aiery Pest Control.
Kwari’s analytical approach and fascination with pest behavior help us provide thoughtful service in the field. Rose’s organization, creativity, community involvement, and willingness to help wherever needed help keep our business moving behind the scenes.
Both play an important role in the Aiery Pest Control family.
We’re Proud of Our Team
As a local, family-owned pest control company, we take pride in building a team that cares about the work and the communities we serve.
Our founder brings nearly three decades of pest control experience to the business, and our team continues that commitment by focusing on customized solutions, customer service, and long-term relationships with the people we serve.
Kwari and Rose are great examples of the different strengths that make a small local team special.
One spends his days looking closely at what pests are doing and why they are doing it. The other helps keep the business organized, creative, connected, and ready to serve our customers.
We are proud to have both of them as part of Aiery Pest Control.
