Very Controlling
Cannot cancel a visit from the 'goaptive' website it only allows you to reschedule at most a week out. Then when I tried to cancel the whole service, I had to call customer service and the representative would not cancel the service until I threatened legal action.

Hi Andy,
Thank you for sharing this feedback. What you described is not the experience we want anyone to have with Aptive, and I understand how frustrating that must have been.
Managing your service through GoAptive should be simple. If the website only allowed limited changes, that’s something we need to review. You should never feel restricted when trying to make updates to your account.
I’m also concerned to hear about your call experience. No customer should feel pressured or that they have to escalate matters just to have a cancellation processed. That’s not the standard we hold ourselves to.
We’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this further. If you’re willing, please reach out to us directly at socialmedia@goaptive.com with your service details so we can review what happened and make it right.

Hi George,
Thank you for sharing this feedback. I can understand why it would be frustrating to have service completed on a day when weather conditions limited what could be done. At Aptive, our goal is always to provide thorough, effective service, and it’s completely reasonable to question the value when snow impacts access to certain areas.
While some parts of the treatment can still be completed safely in winter conditions, we never want you to feel like you’re paying for something that didn’t fully meet expectations. Your feedback is important, and it helps us review how service timing and communication around weather-related limitations are handled.
We’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into your account and review what was completed during that visit. Please reach out to us at socialmedia@goaptive.com so we can go over the details with you and make sure everything is handled appropriately.
Thank you for being part of the Aptive neighborhood and for taking the time to share your experience.

Technician spent almost no time on site. Did not service interior or garage, which was opened. Homeowner is home at time of appointment. Technicians routinely do not interact with owner so they can get out of the site quickly. The Aptive says if you need something call. All-day appointments are not feasible to anticipate and hope you can grab a technician. Will not recommend Aptive in the future.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for sharing this feedback. We completely understand why a shorter visit, especially alongside rising costs, would feel frustrating. At Aptive, our goal is always to provide thorough, effective treatments, not rushed ones.

We’d appreciate the opportunity to take a closer look at your account, review the recent service, and make sure your home is getting the attention it deserves.

I assume the pest control is good. I like the way they do the yard area as well as the house and show what's done on the Web. I can't recommend a company to a friend that can't give me a written contract of my agreement that doesn't cut off the bottom quarter of each page when I sign up, or ever (couldn't get 14-inch printed copy, so bottom was cut off on 11-inch paper version they sent me). I have an electronic version but must be at my computer to read it. I also didn't like being pushed to increase my frequency for mosquito control and the yearly cost for it on my second pest control treatment. I had to wrangle out of the employee that it would cost me more as opposed to his being up front about the extra cost.

Hi Marcy,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you appreciate the thorough care we provide for both your home and yard, and the way we document services online.

At Aptive, we want every part of our service, from paperwork to treatment options, to be clear and convenient for our customers.

We’re reviewing this internally to make sure future agreements are clear and complete, and that our service professionals provide full transparency on any recommended changes or additional costs.
