Sorry product with sorry business practices. Huge ripoff!! 100% do NOT recommend. You’d be better off buying a spray off of amazon and spraying your house yourself. Their sales rep initially said that I could try 1 service to see how it worked. Then when they showed up to do everything said I could only sign for a year contract. They have a $199 cancellation fee, so I was very hesitant about signing. But the sales person assured me that if the service wasn’t working, they wouldn’t charge it to me. They then did the service, removed spiderwebs, sprayed inside and outside. Gave me some cheap crappy fly catcher blue light plug in. I noticed their spray killed 1 roach, and made some outdoor spiders actually come inside the windows. The second time the came, they only sprayed outside. I tried their service for 2 months, mainly for the spiders. I still have tons of spiders and spiderwebs. I called to cancel, because $684 a year, or $57/month, is too much to spend on a service that doesn’t work, especially for a single mom… and of course, I had to pay $199 to cancel because their sales rep just spouted off a bunch of lies to get me to sign. Now I’m a single mom, out over $300, that still has a bunch of spiders.

Canceling my contract with this company. Used to be great but has gone downhill. A few months ago I took off from work to be there for service (to let them in our home), but the tech showed up and left saying he didn't have time and to just reschedule. I gave them another shot and again took off from work to let them in the house, but the tech came sprayed the outside and just left. When I complained the first time, I did not hear back from the company. The second time I called to complain, their solution was a $20 discount off of shot $300 worth of service charges. When I didn't even end up receiving service at all one of those times. Save your money and your time. Look elsewhere for service.

The first time we used them, we had an issue because there were yellow jackets swarming a part of the house that was higher up. We called they came back. Wonderful, really happy about their quick response to us. Then the 3rd visit I believe (today) they came and we noticed after they left a dent in the fence we have between us and our neighbor. Will be contacting customer service to send following pictures as well as footage.

I like that re services are free and the company is quick to reply but some of the technicians they send out lack training or attention to detail. Others, like Gary really make you feel like they care about your home and do their best to control pests that are becoming a nuisance.

The technician showed up at 8:00PM called me 5 times until I answered. Rang my doorbell 3 times, woke my daughter up in the process, and didn’t even wait until I opened the door before heading back down to his vehicle. He made excuses as to why he was late telling me stories about wasps nests and how Aptive makes him drive too far during his day. Then proceeded to continue to call me at 8:30 at night to come open my gate in my backyard because he couldn’t see the latch..he was wearing sunglasses…..he sent me 7 different text pictures of him spraying, all were blurry and didn’t show anything. By far the worst service we’ve had with Aptive.

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.

Michael Ball Greenfield, IN

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.
