EPA Approved Pest Control Products
Aptive's pest control products and applications are EPA approved, indicating that they are safe for the environment and your home, and that your health will be protected upon application of your pest control treatment.
Simple and Customizable Pest Control
Aptive doesn't offer a one-size-fits-all pest control solution. Instead, the company offers customizable pest control treatments that will meet your needs and protect your home. The Aptive pest control process is simple and includes the following three steps:
- Pick your pest control plan
- Get your pest control
- Choose treatment frequency
Based on the pest control plan that you choose, a treatment schedule will be determined, ensuring that an Aptive technician visits your home regularly to keep pests away. If pests come back, Aptive offers re-services at no additional cost.
Wide Range of Targeted Pests
Aptive pest control products specialize in eradicating almost any conceivable pest problem:
- Ants — A number of different types of ants may find their way into your home. Whether it is the Argentine Ant, Fire Ant, Odorous Ant, Pavement Ant, Pharaoh Ant, or Thief Ants it is likely that they are looking for food or water that may have been spilled in the kitchen. It is important to remember that where there is one ant, there is an entire colony. Aptive's pest control products help kill not only the ants that venture into your home, but the entire colony.
- Cockroaches — Similar to ants, a number of different types of cockroaches exist in the United States. Some include: The American Cockroach, Brown Banded Cockroach, German Cockroach, oriental Cockroach, and Smokybrown Cockroach. If you start seeing cockroaches in your home, there are likely a number of them as they are very good at hiding.
- Spiders — A large number of species of spiders can be found in your home. Some of the most common include: The Black Widow, Brown Recluse, Garden Spider, Hobo Spider, House Spider, and Wolf Spider. Though some spider bites may just cause irritation or swelling, others can pose serious health risks.
- Rodents — Mice and rats are quite good and chewing through most things keeping them out of your home. In the process, they can cause thousands of dollars of damage.
- Stingers and biters — Some of these insects that may find their way into your home are: Centipedes, Mud Daubers, Scorpions, Tick and Flea control, Wasps, Yellow Jackets and other stinging insects. The pest control company carries special pest control products to target each of these pests.
- Pantry pests — These pests include, but are not limited to, Indian Meal Moths, Grain Beetles, Granary Weevils, and Rice Weevils.
- Mosquitoes - Aptive employs a range of treatments to combat mosquitoes, including targeted sprays, foggers, and water treatments. Focused efforts are directed at shaded areas, trees, bushes, and under eaves to effectively target mosquitoes on your property.
- Other common pests — Depending on the season and your geographical location, it is not uncommon to see: Aphids, Crickets, Earwigs, Millipedes, Pill Bugs, Silverfish Bugs, and Snails.
If you are unsure whether or not Aptive offers services to remove a certain type of insect, contact a customer representative for inquiries.

Many other pest control companies offer wildlife control, lawn services (fertilization, weed control, lawn care), crawl space services, and attic services (attic insulation and attic restoration).
Limited State Coverage
Aptive Environmental is only offered in 28 states in the United States. Only residents of the following states can sign up for Aptive's services:

I purchased a home to rehab that was empty but had fleas. I paid a onetime service fee of $323.67. They came out on time and sprayed the home. I told the technician that the house is completely empty and to spray heavy. The house was fine for 3 days then I started noticing the fleas again. I called Aptive and requested that they come back out and spray again. They told me I would have to sign a 1-year contract in order for them to come kill the fleas I had already paid to have killed. They said this happens sometimes and they will just come every few weeks until they are gone. I declined because no one told me this when I paid for the one-time service. The rep on the phone told me he couldn't approve them to come back out, and his manager would review and call me back. That was 2 weeks ago, and no one have bothered to call. I would not recommend Aptive at this point. Why offer one time service on empty homes with no pets and not kill the fleas? why not just tell me you don't care instead of telling me someone would call me back to resolve the issue? I didn't ask for any money back or anything additional. Just kill the fleas I paid to have killed.

I can't be paying $90 a month, especially near the Holidays! And now to cancel I will be charge $199! that is nuts. What is the difference! I don't need service in the cold weather nor do I have rodents. I don't like to be locked in and pay for not using something.

Absolutely terrible company! Has more than 1200 complaints with the BBB and a 1 star yelp review! And as a former customer, I can tell you the poor reviews are 100% accurate!! My home was overrun with bugs! The number left with me when I agreed to the service was never answered nor were text messages responded to. When I finally got in touch with customer service they were incredibly rude, talking over me and disregarding everything I said. When it became obvious that I could not continue using this company due to their poor product and terrible customer service, I called to cancel. The customer service agent apologized for the poor service, stated she had stopped my service, removed my credit card information and told me she would have a manager reach out to "make things right." This was in July. In October, I still haven't heard from any manager, but my card starts being charged again and I get a message that they have scheduled my service. I call and am told my service was never cancelled and that if I want to cancel I have to pay $199.......I have to pay money because your service is terrible?!?!?! What?!?!?! Not happening. Ask again to have my credit card information deleted and request a refund for the money charged to my card in October after canceling my service in July. Not only was the fraudulent charge not refunded, but about two weeks later they charge my card $199! The card I had asked to have removed from my account back in July! Crooks. Looking to cheat people out of their hard earned money. Wish I had been smart enough to read reviews before I agreed to try their services!

I was in a quarterly plan with this company for quite sometime paying $185 per quarter. I don’t have any complaints about their technicians who were all very nice. My issue started when one of their salesmen came to my door & misled me into signing up for their mosquito treatment add on, which he told me would only add an additional $10 to my bill.. so I agreed to the service. Suddenly I was shocked to realize when looking through my credit card statements, that they started charging me $196 per MONTH since July! That’s a lot more than an extra $10 each quarter! Then when I called to complain, they refused to issue me a refund for those charges, so I cancelled. Now they lost a loyal long time customer… and unfortunately I’m also like $600 poorer. Not a loss I can easily afford. I definitely do not recommend this company and their shady sales tactics. This was a lesson for me to make sure to always read the fine print & not believe the words some salesperson tells me.

I purchased their service for my elderly mother, who had plans to move in the next few months, but wanted something to take care of the bugs she was seeing. I told the salesperson that she would be moving in a few months, and he told me that I could cancel the contract whenever, no problem. He forgot to mention it would cost us $200 if we cancelled within 2 years. Mom's on SS, so I guess I'm eating that. Then the person who was supposed to cancel the service, never cancelled it, and a technician came out to the house. Hopefully they don't charge me for that - I will dispute it. All I can say is beware of the bait and switch sales pitch and make sure you're ready to be locked in.

Aptive is good at getting 5* reviews because the one thing they are excellent in is sending reviews. I do think customers are happy in the beginning with their service. We have been customers of Aptive for over a year now and are locked into a contract. It is not cancel whenever (as advertised on some platforms). We have to pay out our 2 year contract in order to cancel. We pay roughly $130 each time they come and they come every 30-40 days (not what I was sold when signing up). Their solution does not get rid of the insects and critters. We still have all kinds.
Whatever you do, don't ask them to treat for mosquitos because you pay extra (which they don't tell you) and it is like sugar water. Fortunately, I was able to cancel the mosquito add-on. Aptive is a well-oiled machine. They have smooth salesmen that make it sounds like a great company. I

I truly hope that no ones falls for the bad service this company provides. I let them know multiple times the service did not work and actually made some problems worse. Then on one of the appointments the tech shows up, my friend was trimming the bushes went inside to get out of their way. When they went back outside as they were leaving the clippers were gone with them! One of the appointments they claimed to have come out they never showed up. And to add insult to injury when i called to cancel this sorry service with them they still charged me $199.00! I talked them about this twice with no resolve. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THIS COMPANY AND IT'S SORRY CUSTOMER SERVICE.

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.

The customer service representative that answered my phone call was very professional but could not resolve my issue. Aptive team was very unprofessional and provided me with very poor service and accordingly I requested to stop the service. Aptive team did not care about my concern and only cared about one outstanding bill. I paid that bill although I have not receive any service at that time. Now Aptive is repeating the same thing and posting another bill without any service received. It’s a vicious cycle Aptive keeps scheduling service visits although I called them many times advising them not to send any technician to my house but they keep posting invoices on my acount for about ~$49 without any service provided and keep asking me to pay to clear my balance. Unbelievable business.

CANCELLED my service and Aptive said there is a $199 cancellation fee.

I should have known when they knocked on the door. The service sucks. Totally ineffective. Can’t get anyone on the phone without waiting over an hour. No appointments available online. Our bug problem is worse 6 months in to the contract. Run to a local pest control company and stay far far away from this scam.

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.

They put in so much effort to not do their job. The first service was amazing, everything following has been like pulling teeth. I have to call them (roughly 2-3 times weekly) to get an appointment scheduled, and they don’t offer recurring appointments to be scheduled. When the technicians finally do come out they sweep spider webs so it “looks” like they did something and then leave. No spraying, no treatments, no anything. I have spiders/ ants/ stink bugs/ mice & rats/ etc. that I have taken care of by myself because Aptive can’t be bothered to do their job

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.

Terrible customer service. You will never get hold of them. When you call, you are directed to a call center. The wait is over 30 minutes. When you cancel, there's a fee, over $100. So it is not a cancel whenever you want. Beware of this company.

A rating of 1 is too good for this company - I’ve never had so much trouble with ants until Aptive started treating my home in June 2025 - 5 treatments in two months didn’t solve it - over the counter Terro worked so much better.

Deceptive practices. I asked 4+ times on the phone to have a technician come every 3 months. They tried to send someone every 2 months each time. I finally had enough.

I was with the company for a year didn’t see much improvement at all. They would schedule appointments. Send you a text. Never knock or call when they arrive. Anything they could do to avoid actually doing the work spray my front door and consider it work complete I’ve had enough in the day I canceled. I was charged early on my billing cycle when I advised the customer service representative. He told me we can come out and service at one more time but no refund was available. This place is a scam. Complete waste of money.

Used them for months saw no difference in them being here or not. Tthey missed a month without contacting me so I cancelled my plan they charged me over two months price to cancel. So it’s a company that will skip servicing your home charge you anyways and then charge you on the way out the door. If you wanna pay for four months of service to never see them a single time this is the business for you…..

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.

I canceled the service in January, but was billed $85.30 on July 1. Called on July 16—refund promised but never received. Then got charged another $85.30 on July 31. $170.60 taken with no refund. Billing department is unreliable and untrustworthy.
If you value honest billing and responsive customer service, be very cautious.

SCAM!! They come spray and it does NOT work. Then when you've had several different sprays and it doesn't work, good luck canceling their crappy service. They charge you $199 to cancel. They expect you to hold up your end of the deal by paying the cancelation fee but they don't hold up their end of the deal by providing services that actually work.

I called in and canceled my service. I was still charged why. I called in and talked to someone waited on hold for 30 plus minutes to be told a manager would call me back in 10 minutes and reimburse my money. I never got a call back. I called back 1 hour later for someone to tell me I am not getting my money back and I would get a call back from a manager it’s the next day and still no call back. The call was recorded when I called in to cancel my service which I clearly stated i want to cancel my service.

I signed up for a one-time service. The technician came to my home and performed the service for exactly 14 minutes, which included 2 minutes of talking with me on at my front door. They proceeded to waive a wand around my yard and walk around the perimeter of my house. The service was completely ineffective.
This company has fradualent business practices. Do not use them.

If I could give less than one star I would. I have more bug bites than ever. They don't show when they say they do. I have ants, moles, tics, and mosquitos. They have not helped in any way whatsoever. Then you get a call and are told how they are going to help. But no one shows and when they do they focus on everything but what you wanted. They actually hung things to attract mosquitos where we play corn hole and volleyball. My old company never had to be called back. They came once a month and we had no issues.

This is a shit termites period. They are unprofessional, their poison doent kill cockroaches, they keep charging you month to month even though they don't appear at your place to do the service. There customer service doesn't have one single person to br in charge for the service. Other day I stay over an hour on the phone trying to resolve the problem. They overcharge you if you don't keep your eyes open and check your account.
They are awful. I tried to hire the Orkin company,I don't know why my call was directed to this shit company.

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.

The Pest Control business is very fraudulent, they show up and are on your property for less than 15 minutes. If they were concerned about keeping customers, they would take time to really treat my property with care.

Junk service in st Charles mo … then go to cancel service and they want to make it as hard as they can. … I suggest finding a smaller based company and not so corporate plus they are hard to talk to.

Super aggressive, horrible company!!! Completely disregarded our community’s clearly stated no soliciting policy. Numerous people asked them to leave and the police were called. Yet, they persisted in disturbing the neighborhood. A company that shows such blatant disregard for an entire community can’t be trusted.

Pricing changed drastically. Also, there was little consistency on when services were performed. When prices jumped to $187 per month they were performing services much more frequently until we noticed.
After I called to cancel they offered $111 per service to stay which was insulting.

Terrible salesman pounding on my door. Service sucked and they don’t get into the details that it’s a monthly charge. So glad I didnt fall for their bull crap. Also if you are reading this and work here, then tell your sales kids to take no for a answer before they get hurt.

Company constantly sends people to solicit business and they hit the houses that are on ‘no solicitation’ lists - clearly violating permit regulations. This wasn’t a one-time offense either. The company is rude and unscrupulous.

Worst company I have ever done business with. Products are ineffective. And goodluck trying to cancel. My wife called and emailed. They said they would cancel but then they sent her another email, without telling her, that they required she respond to in order to "complete" the cancellation. These are predatory business practices and illegal. They are designed to continue charging you. This company is awful. DO NOT USE.

Dishonest business practices. 1. Since the initial contract, Aptive has raised the monthly cost of my service and provided no supportive documentation for why or when. 2. Now again they are attempting the increase the monthly cost with no notice or explanation. They just indicate a higher cost on the account. 3. My contract was for quarterly appointments but they use an automated system that schedules appointments every 2 months and the system makes it impossible to reschedule to achieve a quarterly schedule.

An absolute waste of $577! I pray this company does'nt make another dime scamming people. They came to my house and set mice traps with roach bait. No wonder my issue was never resolved. At least not by them as soon as I cleaned the roach bait out of the traps and added peanut butter BOOM just like that, I caught 5 mice in one day and my issue was resolved. Save yourself some money and order your traps/bait from amazon and DO IT YOURSELF.
