The man who came& told our neighbor…
The man who came& told our neighbor about a large wasp's nest that was located in a electrical box that goes to his (not mine). I thought that was nice that he did that while servicing my house. He then sprayed a little "bug juice" in his box. I was fine with that & thought it was a good public relations gesture.

They do keep pests away
They do keep pests away, but the service is very expensive. It’s also supposed to be every 20-40 days, and they ALWAYS schedule every 20 days. So you have to go in and reschedule, but there’s never dates available past a few days. So you have to keep rescheduling every few days to get closer to every 40 days. It’s obnoxious.
So it definitely helps with pest prevention, but it seems they purposely reschedule every 20 days to get even more money from you.

Hi Kellie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're really glad to hear that the service has been effective in keeping pests away—that’s always our top priority at Aptive. That said, we completely understand your frustration around the scheduling frequency and the difficulty finding convenient dates. While our standard recurring range is between 20–40 days, your feedback highlights a gap in how we’re supporting flexibility and ease in managing that. I’d love the chance to review your account and see how we can better align your schedule with your preferences. If you could reach out to us at socialmedia@goaptive.com with your service address, we’ll make sure you’re set up in a way that works best for you. Thank you again for being part of the Aptive family—we truly value your feedback and are here to help make your experience smoother going forward.

Bad service
There is usually someone who knocks at our door. And we give them permission to spray after that. But instead of just going back then coming back later the guy just sprayed all over and took the money I personally did not have like seriously what kind of service is this.

Great company
I've had Aptive treat my home for about 4 years and have been very happy with the results. There is an outside entrance to a basement utility area which they also treat including the stairway down to it. They also treat the lawn for bugs/bug eggs.
Their applicators are all very friendly. Great company!

The automated service is not great… I…
The automated service is not great… I cancelled the appt. but they came anyway( & I can’t review them when I wasn’t home!!)I know they will come back to do the inside, but that’s not the point!!! If I cancel the appt I don’t want them to come, if I don’t cancel then that gives them permission to come & work.

It’s just pest control…nope!
It’s just pest control, they are all the same. Not in my experience. Aptive does a great job asking what is needed, following up with images and a summary of service, and if I need something, the team is super responsive. I seem to get really good Field Techs as well. I wish I could remember all their names, but it is great to see the same friendly faces.

Hard to call but good service
The local office was very good but the numbers given were horrid. The phone numbers I had were for a call service and nobody local. They did not get my name spelled correctly until the local office contacted me despite several calls to the “call center”. Once I had the local number, everything improved. The techs have been good and the service is thorough and effective.

Probably the worst company I have ever…
Probably the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of doing business with. Firstly, their product is terrible. Still had bugs. Didnt do a thing. Worst part is they make it impossible to cancel. You have jump through a million hoops and send multiple emails. They are basically engaged in unlawful business practices.

Hi Nicholas,
We're genuinely sorry to hear that your experience with Aptive has been this frustrating. It's clear we've fallen short of the trust you placed in us, and that's something we take seriously. No one should feel stuck or unheard, especially when dealing with something as important as protecting your home.

Please reach out to us directly at socialmedia@goaptive.com so we can look into your account to better understand what went wrong, both with your service results and your cancellation experience.
