Aptive Pest Control

Phil was very polite and he answered all my questions. I'm very pleased with the service!

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. If you need to call them to help you with an issue, make sure you have at least 45 minutes. Also, be aware that you will not be speaking with someone in the United States.

Tried to cancel service, they said it was cancelled paid up for the contract and but never cancelled it Kept billing me even though they never came out. Had to cancel again and pay for service never given. Do not sign a service contract use somebody else it will be cheaper for you.

RIP OFF, BIG TIME RIP OFF!!!! I'LL NEVER LET ANOTHER SOLICOTOR STEP FOOT IN MY YARD AGAIN!!! THEY'LL TELL YOU ONE THING AND CONTRACT READS ANOTHER, HAD TO CANCEL MY CARD JUST TO GET THEM TO STOP INVOICING, ADVICE, DO IT YOURSELF OR DON'T APTIVE! EVER!!!!

They promise a lot and deliver very little. Unless you watch them do the pest control or complain about lack of service they do very little they're in and out of a half acre property in less than 5 minutes. I've seen no difference whatsoever with the amt problem I originally hired them for Do not waste your money!

I have tried to cancel my account several times, but Aptive will not let me cancel early without a penalty. I am having to pay $199 for early termination. The last service technician that came to my home was here less than 4 minutes and did not even come up to my front porch. I am very dissatisfied with the service that I have received.

Were it possible for me to give one star, I absolutely would. This company has zero transparency regarding how many treatments you have left under your contract. Even once your contract expires, they will continue to show up and, of course, bill you. It is virtually impossible to get them to agree to stop showing up every month. And they refuse to provide written confirmation that the contract has been fulfilled and is no longer in effect. DO NOT USE!

This company is not trustworthy. The sales man told me that my plan is to for them to spray every 40-50 days, but in reality, they sprayed every two months. In addition, they told me there is no penalty if you cancel the plan, after 8 months, I really do not see effective result, there are still bugs on the windows, so I tried to cancel it, they charged me $200!!! For early cancelation. Never use it, either the salesman or the company is lying.

Please do not use this company. I signed a service agreement to handle a pesky Yellow jacket problem. The company did multiple treatments without any results, if anything it just made the hive angry. We called out another company and the Yellow jacket infestation was handled within 24 hours. Now upon attempting to cancel my agreement they are charging me a $199 cancelation fee.

This company has nice technicians, the business end of this company are the worst! Sent a number of requests to stop service due to the terrible scheduling service app. I repeatedly sent emails to customer service email....no return ever. I finally made a call to the customer service phone. the rep was nice but English was not her first language and was just a call center.... not in Utah or Texas. Every way of communicating with this company is just wasted time. I did speak with the call center and stated that I was billed for a visit to my home that I canceled- $59. I cancelled my service and the call center person told me that I would be bill $199 termination fee. Terrible business practice, already upset with how long it took to actually cancel service or get someone to answer my request .

You can also call our customer service hotline directly at 844-573-7111 if you’d like immediate assistance. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention. We truly value your time and appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Best regards, Customer beware, read the fine print apparently a verbal agreement doesn't with this company is not binding, I made an agreement with the tech representative that this would be a one service and he agreed!! I was text a message from Aptive pest control that they were sending out a tech to spray again. They said I signed a contract for services I did not agree upon on the day I spoke with the sale representative and had my house sprayed.

Where to begin…from day one, the company was horrific to work with!!!!! I was told one thing by the original salesman, but when it came time to have my appointment, it was cancelled because I was supposed to be home for the initial treatment, but because I have a very busy schedule, I was told by both sales and supervisors that I do not need to be home and this back and forth went on for about three times, until I made a day work in my schedule and the crew that came out was 28 minutes late past the schedule window. Afterwards, I called the company and they agreed to give me my first three treatments for free, but this wasn’t the case as I have been charged for both services so far. I wanted to cancel my contract with them, but a fee was in place to cancel, so I was told to wait out the contract expiration and then it doesn’t cost you anything, except a supervisor told me I could cancel my contract, but that is not the case. I have been hung up on several times by supervisors, mislead, lied to, and false promises have been made by them. The absolute worst company to work with by far. I wouldn’t recommend this company to my worst enemy, you’ve been warned.

The guy came to our door and the services sounded great. They came out two days later after we got rid of our previous bug people and the bugs started coming back slowly. After a month you couldn’t even be out in our yard for the mosquitos. We called them multiple times to come out and they would spray and the bugs would be gone for a day or so and be right back. This went on for a few weeks. Finally we canceled the card that we had service with them through and went back to our local pest company. Do not waste your money. It is a scam. Plus when you call customer service it’s not even someone from this country.

Hello, Hope you are well. This is more about scheduling issues. I am not sure how customer service updates their technicians but somewhere it is not working. This has been happening almost every time where either technician comes way early than the given time window, or way late. Also, they are not calling 30 mins ahead of time. Today our service window is from 4pm to 7pm. Brandon came at 7am in the morning knocking hard on the door. I understand few minutes here and there but we have schedule for reasons. We had just woke up and that loud noise of knocking door made us fearful. When I requested the person please come back in the scheduled window he started explaining. Finally he agreed to come back in the committed window. Then again they came around 3pm in the middle of the my client meeting, where I can not come and open the door. We have different meetings and schedules that's why we made an effort to schedule specific time. I am not sure how hard it is to come in the committed window of 4pm to 7pm. Also, call 30 mins before so we can be ready. If can not done every time than I feel that there is no accountability nor care for customer's request. I am still waiting today now in the actual window for them to come for service. I have the feeling they will not come in the actual window at all like last few times. I hope this can be addressed. Thank you.

Do not use Aptive. We paid extra specifically to have mosquito treatment included in our service — it was the only reason we switched providers. Despite this being in our contract and repeated reminders to both technicians and customer service, they have never actually treated for mosquitoes. Their techs don’t seem to understand how mosquito control works — they just spread granules for ants and call it a day. No spraying into trees or shrubs, no effective treatment, no accountability. The company is inflexible, unresponsive, and clearly not delivering the service they’re paid for. Extremely disappointing. Avoid Aptive.

★☆☆☆☆ – Total Scam, Stay Away I strongly advise against using Aptive Pest Control. Their products do not work — plain and simple. The mosquito treatment was completely ineffective. I noticed zero difference after the service, despite their promises. Worse, I was quoted $800 for termite traps, which I agreed to only because I was told it included monthly inspections at $59 and that I could cancel at any time. That was a lie. When I tried to cancel, I was met with runaround excuses, hidden fees, and unhelpful customer service. They make it nearly impossible to get out of their contract. This company will scam you with slick sales tactics, lock you into unnecessary services, and then provide cheap, ineffective treatments. You truly get what you pay for — and in this case, even that’s a stretch. Don’t fall for it.

The salesman that came to my door lied. Do NOT trust company. He stated that they sprayed for bees and I showed him where the area was. This was the main reason , I signed with the company. The salesman also told me the first application was free which it was not and I was charged. I contacted the company after the paper they left after treating did not state anything about treating the bee area, and was told that they do not treat bees. I explained what the salesman stated but was stilled charged. It is NOT an amazing company when they lie and then do not reimburse you. Their survey also ask if you were treated for bees/ wasps. Never sent me a receipt of the contract nor bill. Only the best rating show on their reviews.

I heard a very aggressive knock at my door, thinking it was a neighbor needing something, I immediately opened it. That was my first regret. I had the “pleasure” of dealing with someone who questioned if I was the owner of the home with a certain tone, didn’t introduce himself or ask me for my name and went into his whole song and dance without me getting a word in. I gave every hint that I was busy and needing to leave…out of the blue he asked if I’d want treatment today, even after telling him I’m already on a monthly payment with a different company. Upon telling him I wasn’t interested at this time, he didn’t thank me for my time and rudely left. If you want someone’s business, I highly suggest you make someone feel appreciated and well informed…not rip their current decisions on pest control and act like it’s surprising that you’re in fact the home owner. Try to be more Adaptive and less “Aptive”

I had the sales representative stop by my house on Saturday. He promised that the people would visit every month during the warmer months and less often when it go cold. He stated that they now spray three feet up from the base boards around the perimeter, and he stated that they spray at the top where they dust away the spider webs. When the tech showed up he presented the contract, the price quoted by sales covered nothing promised and the tech stated that none of the procedures I described were true. The sales rep said they prided themselves in communication and gave a big speech about it, but every word that came out of his mouth turned out to be false. If this is the Aptive way of trying to secure business, they are going to have trouble moving forward. The sales guy promises one thing, then the tech shows up a few days later and says "Hey, you forgot to go over the contract with sales. Here it is."... and then the paperwork is nothing what the sales team promised. Very dishonest. Luckily I was able to send the guy away before he did any work. This was in San Jose, CA on May 17th, 2025 when this all happened.

Very disappointed with customer service representative. Call in today to decide not to continue my service with Aptive Environmental. Well during call I was told I have to meet my 2-year agreement. My reply was I've had service with you for over 3 years. Only thing I ever did was call for a lower price. Which when I made this call I got locked back into a 2-year agreement apparently without my knowledge. Closed out my old account and started a new one. Further both the representative on the call and her manager told me I only had one contract with them the excising one. Manager boldly said give me the old account number then. Which they had no idea that they were talking with career Human Resources representative. I keep a copy of everything. Now once I read the old account number to them miraculously the manager had the ability to find my old account. Now this is after she Boldly told me she looks in all locations for my name, email address, and phone number. To add more insult after all this I still have to pay the penalty to leave a service I never signed up for again. Good luck, but after this today I recommend keeping copies of everything you can with Aptive Enviornmental.

The door-to-door salesperson who showed up at my home was overly pushy and took far too long to come to terms with the fact that I was not interested in signing a contract. My interaction with him (the most uncomfortable one I've had with a door-to-door salesperson) makes me completely uninterested in considering Aptive in the future. Some of his comments and questions were irrelevant, unnecessary, and as was the case with a previous reviewer (Danielle C), disrespectful towards women. When I made it clear that I don't make decisions like signing pest control contracts without discussing with my wife first, his response to attempt to get me to sign something immediately was "if there's one thing I know about the ladies, it's that they don't like bugs and they like a good deal", and "you have a mortgage and car payments, this is just pest control, man". At one point, he even asked me to go get my credit card, and no salesperson has ever said that to me before. Nor has any salesperson before this one ever asked me where I'm from. I understand that there's always going to be an element of pushiness with this sales approach and it can often yield success, but my honest feedback to Aptive would be to examine the potential detrimental impact going about this without sufficient tact can have on their business.

I went with this company thinking everything would be okay, first off they don't come like i was told initially from the start, I was told they would come back every week if they had to make sure we were bug free, everything sounded good to you signed that contract, and then the attitudes come from the office from their customer service reps, I had issues with spiders and had lots of issues with mosquitoes I contacted them I was told they'd be back in 2 to 3 weeks I said I was told you guys would come back to the very next week if it wasn't fixed that wasn't the case, they're rude and just want money and that's all they really care about, they talked me into putting down some snake stuff some brown powder I asked him several times even the office this is safe for pets am I correct they stated it was my dogs got into it I guess around the yard but he really wasn't around the yard that they got into it their tech left a black bucket full of it behind my house I found that later on when my dogs were drinking out of it after it rained one of my dogs passed away wasn't exactly sure what it's from wasn't worth trying to figure it out, the other one was vomiting for almost 4 days we were so scared that we were going to lose him thank God we didn't, I contacted them and let him know their answer was well it's supposed to be snake away and it is safe for your dogs so we don't understand what happened we'll just take it off your bill still charge me for that one session. What's to be honest with you did nothing because we did find a copperhead underneath our deck thank God we were able to use a stick and get rehome him to the woods , this has been one nightmare and then they hold over your head at 200 bill I wonder if they want to pay the vet bills. I definitely would stay away from these guys they're not professional they don't seem to know what they're doing.

This is a ripoff service. Steer clear unless you like to burn money. I consider myself a pretty astute consumer, but what was offered and what was delivered were two different things. The first service was offered at a discount and was reasonable, although I could have done the same thing with easily obtained chemicals and a stepladder. After that, deplorable. The second "visit" should have been enough to cause me to cancel, but I was too busy. The third was over the top--they sent one of their service people out on a rainy day (and not in the service "window"), and he immediately informed me he could not do a treatment because it was raining. He was at my home for literally 10 minutes, took pictures, and left, and I was charged in excess of $100. I finally was so pissed I cancelled, even though I had to pay a cancellation fee. So, BUYER BEWARE.

Our technician, Sasha, does a great job. She always lets us know what treatments she has performed & asks if we have any issues that she needs to address.

The tech did a great job. He really took the time to treat the yard! First time I can say that your tech actually treated my yard the way it should be!

Our technician Gunnar always do a great job servicing our home. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of and to our satisfaction.

Patrick did an amazing job of servicing my house. He asked if I had any particular issues that I was concerned. He explained what he did with pictures.

I'd liked that pictures of the back door, garage door, front door, side of the house with HVAC, a piece of the fence, and curb showed the area that was treated. What I didn't like were: 1) I'd told told customer service that I needed to be called to ensure shsomeone is home. I don't look at my text during the day as I am an elementary teacher. So I wasn't aware that the service was done when I had no one home to treat the interior of my house to which I'd paid for as we have German 🪳. 2) For the value of the service one day one hour noticed isn't enough time to schedule ahead to ensure the value of money won't be wasted. 3) Because I was working and don't look at the text, I was unable to tell the service man we have a tick infestation. We still have that German 🪳. Lastly, I'm done with this company. It doesn't fit in my lifestyle. The company dictates their schedule and I can no longer work the inconvenience of it.

Your sales representatives did not say it was a 12 service agreement. Your representative used your visual advertisement that showed even after short treatments the product eliminated and minimized bug activity drastically. Then promises with “continuous use” to keep the activity dormant. You have two issues here. Your representative did not say it was a 12 month contact or 12 service agreement. He did say do a couple treatments, see if it works like it’s worked for everyone, and as the results cancel the policy. You’ll get charged a fee if you cancel before the first one, so many sure the first one happens. Then cancel after that if you’re not satisfied. i definitely have it more the. 1 treatment. It was several months. I reached out originally expressing I do not want you to come back because your product failed to show any change in the activity. I actually saw an increase in plant eating bugs, gnat, flys, ants, spiders, and more. I lost several crops after they sprayed. Not only planted variety, but berry bushes. It’s cheaper and safer to do it yourself. I had no issues when I bought and managed pest control. It became an issue once they arrived though. So, between the shady representatives that lied and cost me $199 and the loss of money buys plants, planting, tenting, trying to save, and watching them die. I wouldn’t mess with this company. All because I worked in sales a long time ago I figured I’d help the kid out. Only to bit me in… well you know the rest! Horrible company.
