Service tech arrived at our home when it was pouring rain. He did not have glue boards with him to swap out which were in the garage or in the basement. I asked him about spraying specifically around the upper exterior & under of our deck which is screened but, again he really couldn’t do it completely due to the rain. He was very nice, but I would like a free return trip out to address all these issues. Also, Not sure if the bait stations outside were reloaded either!

Mrs. S San Diego, CA

On 7/26/23 an Aptive sales guy tried selling me on some pest control services in the Clairemont neighborhood of San Diego. He didn’t provide his name or the company he worked for. Simply showed me a laminated page with some pics of bugs that I looked at warily. He asked if I was “the boss” and if the homeowners would be interested in signing up. Claimed 13 of my neighbors just signed up and he’d be back in the area tomorrow to service their homes. Wanted to cut me in on a good deal. I firmly declined repeatedly. He asked if anyone in charge would be home tomorrow. I firmly said there’s no interest and he made a note in his iPad before continuing along on his hover board. Then on 7/27/23, around 10 am he came back. He rang the bell, yelled out hello and loudly knocked on the door. A minute or so went by, and he rang, yelled and knocked again. After several seconds he attempted to to open my front door … aggressively trying to see if it would open. Fortunately we always lock and deadbolt our door! My dog was barking like crazy at this point. He then waits a moment before trying to open the door for a second time. After a few more moments he takes off on his hover board. Please be on the lookout and lock your doors! We called the company to file a complaint as well as with SDPD. Adaptive took down the info but gave us the run around when we tried to escalate the complaint and get in touch with the area manager. Very shady employees and business.

Ray was pleasant and polite. What I dint appreciate from the company, you were quick to charge. Young lady put some traps in the garage but needed to stop because of rain. Yard was not treated. No one called to schedule. Last night someone when to my neighbour and told her I am using you. I have not received service to recommend but seems like my name is used as though I have been a client. This is not ethical.

If I could give them a zero, I would. I was promised a time of 8:30 a.m. for them to take care of a wasp/bee/hornet nest this morning. I have used this company for 8 years for preventative maintenance. I have specifically asked them to dust for wasps/hornets whatever is on our deck every summer. The effectiveness of preventative maintenance has been subpar for the past year or two. We disrupted a nest and we were stung over 40 times two days ago. We were promised that someone come out yesterday, then promised a time of 8:30 this morning, 11:00, then 1:00. I was promised many things by manager Connor who had to explain that he has two years of seniority and is a big shot with the company. What a joke! I was lied to by Connor numerous times. He said Shelly the area manager would call, never did, the list goes on and on. And then, when the service technician Alex finally showed up, (he texted that he would be there in an hour or less. He came two hours late.) I was admonished by him saying that they don't do bees and that it was crazy for him to be asked to pick up the cloth grill covering the bee nest had been in. He was extremely cocky and rude. He escalated the situation and soon I was yelling back at him. Do NOT use this company!!!!! In the midst of it all, I got another text to pay a 130 dollar charge to Aptive by manager Taylor. I couldn't believe it! Their customer service has gone downhill. I have canceled my account, and paid off everything even though I don't think it is fair that I had to. STEER clear of them! They will take your money and will treat you poorly. Take your business someplace else.

Before signing the contract, I was clear that my most significant concern was an ant problem around my home. A week after the initial treatment, the ant problem was worse than ever. I called Customer Service to ask for help. I never received a call or email message to resolve the problem. After emailing and request to cancel the service (no response received), I then called to cancel the service. Cancellation cost me another 199.00. The bottom line is I paid $300.00, and received NOTHING in return. This company is a huge disappointment. All I really wanted was a resolution to my pest problem, and I could not even raise a response from their 'customer service' team. Very disappointing.

Two of six appointments were mysteriously canceled without notification. Their technician told me that their dispatcher has issues. That meant that I had to wait around for no one to show - twice. One third of my appointments so far have been frustrating scheduling complications from the company. After a week of no response from customer service, I finally received an email that stated they were human and err sometimes (read: oh well, sucker). The email also included language to remind me that if I cancel, they will charge me a fee.

NEVER USE THESE GUYS ---- Take a look at how poorly we were treated and then the underhanded deed they did. We signed up with Aptive Environmental in May of 2022, they asked for $145 for the initial service and required us to sign up for a year commitment prior to doing any work. (at $200 for the year) I agreed. They sprayed our property on May 9th 2022. And let us know that since we were signed up for a year, that we can have them come back and spray at any time that we need it. We needed it on Tuesday June 7th. Our kitchen counter was overrun with ants. I called Aptive to ask them to come out as soon as possible because this invasion was so bad that it was practically an unlivable situation. No one answered the phone. I left two messages that day but didn’t get a call back. They instead, responded with a text saying they couldn’t be out until June 10th. This was entirely unacceptable. I left two more messages letting them know that this was an urgent need. I didn’t hear back from them. Friday the 10th comes, and instead of them coming out on June 10th, they sent a text saying they would not be able to come out until June 15th. This was beyond unacceptable. I called them and told them not to bother and to cancel our contract. They said that whether the technician comes out or not we would still owe the $200. I argued that because they hadn’t been able to live up to their end of the agreement that I don’t owe the $200. They kept insisting because I signed the agreement form that I owed them $200 no matter what. I told them go ahead and charge the $200 and I’ll dispute the charges when they show up. That was the last I heard from them until November 15th when... I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM A COLLECTIONS COMPANY CALLED A.R.M.!! WHAT!?!? How can they be that shady? Just despicable. They didn’t do the honorable thing which would have been to apologize and cancel the contract. They didn’t try to bill us, even though they had our credit card on file. (Probably because they knew I would dispute the charges and most likely win) Instead, they did something very underhanded (and possibly illegal) and sent the account to collections. (Thus an attempt to hurt our credit rating rather than trying to either charge off the balance or call us and attempt to resolve the issue.) NEVER EVER EVER EVEN TALK TO THESE GUYS!!!!!

I opened an account for pest control services with a customer service agent who told me I was signing up for "flea and rodent" services. My first appointment was cancelled abruptly after I had waited all morning, and I had to contact the company to reschedule. When they did come, they did not provide "flea and rodent services." They only sprayed for different insects. I reached out to the company to complain, so they rescheduled other technicians, who did some of what they were supposed to, including laying traps to check for next time. However, on my second appointment, the technician had no idea he was supposed to be treating for fleas and rodents. He also told me that the package I believed I had purchased was no longer offered by the company. He was not aware that he was supposed to check traps, and he did not perform any "flea and rodent" services. The receipts I received via email did not list any flea or rodent services either. When I reached out to the company, they said they had not bothered to put "flea and rodent" services on the notes for the technician, and wanted to schedule another time for someone to come out. I said no - I wanted to close my account and cancel services with them, because I am tired of waiting for technicians, not getting the services I ordered, and needing to chase down the company's customer service department every single time. They told me I need to pay a "cancellation fee" of $199. I find this unacceptable - I am paying two hundred dollars for the privilege of no longer paying for a service that is not the one I signed up for? I just want my account closed so I no longer have to deal with them.

I don't normally leave reviews, but this was such a terrible experience that I felt the need to share. The sign-up and first treatment went great. Zero issues. For the second treatment, I got stood up twice - Aptive just no-showed. When someone finally showed up (try #3), I got zero notification that they were headed my way. Once they arrived, they were onsite less than 5 minutes. I know because my Ring doorbell caught the tech's movement. I had another treatment today and same thing - the guy was here less than 5 minutes. No way you can provide quality treatment in that amount of time, especially for what I'm paying them. The worst part is instead of offering any refund (they did offer $10 off the first time....big whoop), they offer to send someone else out. No, thank you! Stay away from Aptive!

Be Careful with this company!! Deceitful !! Trick you getting in to contract by giving you false details!! Once you sign the contract they will show you their real face. I would have given zero or negative rating if there was an option. I have not seen such an unethical company like Aptive Environmental. Their service is very sloppy. In fact, after the treatment pest activity has increased. Also, person who did the service did such a sloppy job, that I have to show him what all places he missed to clean the webs and apply pest control products(though they were in front of our eyes). Don't ever..ever...ever....ever... signup with this company.

I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied in the service provided my Aptive Environmental. I have made multiple complaints regarding the worthless service rendered on my property to address a rat and mice problem in my backyard. My cat continues to bring half dead rats/mice into my home and is doing a better job than Aptive at addressing the problem. A technician randomly contacted me on 9/21 stating they would be providing another service and I informed them that I was out of town and when I would return. The technician came to my home anyway and completed an unapproved service in my front yard only due to not having access to my backyard (the issues is not in my front yard) then next thing I know I was charged for the unapproved service. Now Aptive Environmental is refusing to issue me a full refund for this unapproved “service.” Not acceptable. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! They do not communicate well, their remedies are ineffective for rats and rodents, they are unprofessional, and they will not honor their 10/10 customer experience rating guarantee. Horrible experience overall.
