Aria Environmental

I was a bit surprised to find 5 star rating but it prompt me to call. And as everyone else has stated, very professional and very nice. Called on a Friday afternoon and he apologized to me that he couldn’t get out to me that Saturday. He came out as promised, on time, assessed the situation. Did some initial clean-​up, set some traps and scheduled to do the real work.
Assessment cost were very reasonable. Didn’t even collect for the work done on this initial visit. I’m super impressed!
We had made other calls prior and response (if any) and lack of sense of urgency was disappointing. Very impressed by Aria so far.

I love this company!!! We had to cancel our contract with a previous pest control company and luckily found these guys on Angie’s List. Andrew responded quickly and came out for an assessment. He discovered and fixed so many issues we thought had already been taken care of by the other pest control company. We have not had any problems since. I have nothing but nice things to say about Andrew and Art. They are so professional, very reasonably priced and show up every time, on time. I HIGHLY recommend this company!!!

The nutshell version: We’ve had Aria Environmental out to fix several different problems at our house, and would give them six stars if we could. Andrew and Art are committed to fixing pest problems long-​term, not just killing the current pests you’ve got. And, they have the knowledge, skills, and integrity to back it up. We no longer have a problem with mice or wood boring beetles, and the damage we had from moisture ants before we knew about Aria is now taken care of, with a preventive treatment in case the ants think about coming back. If you have pests, this is the company you want to take care of your home.
Our stories:
Mice — We had a nasty problem with mice, and the traps I set weren’t effective in getting rid of them. Andrew and Art did a thorough evaluation of our house, which turned out to have zillions of entry places for mice all around the house. The worst was our crawl space, a freeway system of tunnels the darn critters had made. Other pest control companies have told me, «You will always have a problem with mice because you live in the woods,» but Andrew and Art sealed the entry points, completely cleaned out and reinsulated the crawl space and installed a new vapor barrier, and we haven’t had a mouse in the house since! (They also pointed out a leak into the crawlspace coming from the bathtub, which I never would have known about and gotten fixed if it weren’t for them.) Making our house mouse-​free turned out to be a much bigger and more time-​consuming project than anticipated (as pretty much all projects at that house have been), but Andrew kept coming back to check and make sure the job was really done right.
Wood-​boring Beetles — Several pest people identified the bugs on our front porch eaves to be parasitic wasps and told me, «They’re good bugs — they eat other bugs, so don’t worry about them.» Andrew, though, had the insight to look into the holes in the board to see WHAT the parasitic wasps were going after. It turned out to be wood-​boring beetles. We talked through our options, and ended up having Andrew remove the affected board and replace it with a new one. He even repainted it for us so it matched the rest of the porch (and did a better job than the professional painters who had recently come, I might add). Problem solved.
Moisture Ants — I wish we’d known about Aria Environmental last summer when we had thousands of moisture ants and flies coming into our bedroom (yes, that WAS totally creepy). I got rid of them with a nasty spray, but we knew the problem wasn’t solved. When we finally got around to having the windowsill removed this spring, there were lots of dead ants and flies, and rot from moisture between the windowsill and the floor. Andrew again helped problem-​solve, even making time in his afternoon to come do a boric acid compound treatment on the remaining boards and the replacement boards for the windowsill and frame. It was a time-​sensitive project for us, and we really appreciated that his rapid response kept us on target.

Art is great. He is an entomologist, so he knows what he is doing. We have worked with Aria three times now over the years for carpenter ants and wouldn’t use anyone else. Professional, effective, friendly and prompt.

Art and his teamember who came out with him did a great job. I called and spoke to Art about a wasp nest I had about 2 stories up in a tree in our backyard. He told me he could come out in a few hours that same day and for a very reasonable price to remove it. I had called several other places before and aria environmental had the best deal.
So they came out on time, very polite, and only came through the side gate to come to the backyard to be sure the wasps wouldn’t get into our house.
Upon inspecting it they found out they were actually hornets and that there was also a small paper wasp nest near our shed. I am so glad they found that one too, we has no idea. They sprayed and removed both nests very quickly and did a great job. And only charged me for the one nest that I told him about over the phone!
Great service, quick, friendly/​professional and they will be my go to for any pest problem I have from now on.
3 – 4 days later and I haven’t seen those wasps/​hornets since. Couldn’t be happier with the service I received!

Thanks, Aria! My mother-in-law’s very nice rental in Ballard ended up with some visitors. They called in another company who did some really dumb things (rat traps outside? in the city? really?) and totally missed the real problem. You guys came in, gave the proper diagnosis of where the rodents were entering, and then gave a super fair price for the solution.
I get so disillusioned with pest control companies who make the wrong recommendations and over-​charge like crazy for it, so I’ll be very glad to recommend you guys in the future!

The home inspector for a refinance told me that I had a rat problem so I called Aria to come in and do an assessment/​provide a quote to get rid of them. The young guy that came by and examined some droppings, looked around and told me that the inspector was mistaken. The droppings were from «pill bugs». He inspected some other potential problem areas, gave me some advice on how to keep creepy crawlies at bay and left without charging me a dime.
I love honest businesses and if I have a pest problem in the future, I will call Aria!

Amazing company. Andrew helped me in about 2008 with a rat infestation. Problem solved for a reasonable price by a young man (Andrew) who is easy to talk with. Highly recommended

We hired Andrew Soeprono (and Janene and Art) to help us with a major rat infestation at our home. We didn’t want to use poisons to do it. They used traps, and did a lot of work on the foundation of our house where there were gaps that rats (and other animals) could get in… They did a lot of work in less than ideal conditions, to say the least… Our crawl space is cramped and dirty… The Aria crew was very hardworking and professional and I recommend them highly. We haven’t had a problem with pests since they helped us a few years ago.
