The Aptive team has been great to deal with. Clear communications through text along with pictures of the work performed. I look forward on the reduction of pests.

Scheduled Appointment
The technician called me about 30-45 minutes ahead of his arrival. Asked me for anything he should give special attention to, other than his regular locations. I asked him to get the inside of the garage and the lower level, inside the house. The technician was on time and handled my request(s).

New person
New person, explained why no one has been here for quite a while. Did his job and left, for forgot to set traps for nice in the garage. After leaving, I hadn't thought he had left any traps for mice, but after exploring, I saw he had left a few, but not in all of the garage. We gave a deep gaeage and there are lots of evidence of mice.

Effective, but pricey
I’ve never had problems with Aptive, they have always been prompt and courteous while the actual service is effective at pest and rodent control around my home. I docked a star because of cost. I only have the outside areas of my home treated, but I still have to pay for the “full” treatment which includes inside service. They’ve told me they don’t offer the outside only, so I’m stuck paying for the inside service I don’t want or use in order to have the outside done.

Hi Kaylinn,
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We really appreciate you highlighting the consistency, professionalism, and effectiveness you’ve experienced with Aptive’s service, that means a lot to our team.
I completely understand your frustration around pricing, especially when you’re only needing exterior treatments. Your perspective is valid, and feedback like this helps us better understand how our service structure can feel limiting for customers who don’t need interior work. While our current plans are designed to cover both interior and exterior service, we know that doesn’t always align perfectly with every household’s needs.
Thank you for being part of the Aptive community and for your honesty. If you’d ever like to review your service options or talk through ways to make the most of your plan, our team would be happy to help.

They contact you before and after the service. Ask if there are any issues. Answer questions or will get you an answer.
They show up when they say they will. Techs are always friendly. They just do a good job. I don’t have to worry about bugs getting into the house.

Lied about contract
I only signed up because I liked the guys that sold me at the door. They were young and just learning to sell, so I gave them a chance. They guaranteed that if I sold my home, I would be able to get out of my contract. I cannot take the service with me to a rental property. Now, they are fighting me on it stating that’s not true. It’s awful and terrible customer service. How can anyone be expected to keep a service for their home after they sell it and move on to a rental that they do not control. Despicable.
