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.
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.

Gary was a perfect gentleman. Put on his booties to come inside to treat for ladybugs. I appreciated that admitted he didn't know how to treat for them and he called to find out how to treat for them and carried it out. We can't all know everything but we can all ask for assistance.

I would just like to say Steven has been absolutely amazing. I have had other techs on-site and my security cameras have caught them servicing my property for about 4-5 minutes then leaving. Every time Steven has been assigned to my property I know the full treatment will be completed and I have nothing to worry about. If I could have Steven assigned to my property for all service visits I definitely see my self renewing my service contract when it expires. As mentioned if Steven was assigned for all my visits I would have no issues giving aptive a 5 star rating in every aspect.

I signed up for Aptive and after several instances of technicians "mimicking" as if they were disbursing out granulets, I ended the contract. I have a 360 degree visibility of my home via my home security camera system and observed the technicians run out of granulates and then pretend to put them down on the remainder of my property. I overlooked the first instance, and then called after the second one...and several other instances is what broke the camel's back. Customer service "wiaved" the early termination fee, yet still charged me for the service that wasn't completely fufilled. I went on travel abroad for some months, and when I returned, I had a collections notice for $149, premised on the services 'rendered'. After several instances of unethical practices, it's easy to see that this is a breach of contract - however, Aptive's "management" is citing they cannot do anything since the charges are already in collections. BEWARE of this company - while their products do seem to work, their practices (by way of some of their technicians) are shady at best. I really tried to work this out, to no avail.

Cons: Expensive. Not all technicians are thorough if I’m not home to instruct. I hardly ever get advanced notice of what time in the day they will be arriving other than like 10min right before. I wish there were more organic options. Pros: little to no pests.

Yesterday was my first introduction to your company. I had the pleasure to meet your salesperson Connor who earned my business. Later that day I had my first service . Jason was my service rep who could not have been more attentive to my needs that I had discussed with Connor earlier in the day. I had a horrible hornet’s nest that he addressed immediately. He made me aware of all of the procedures and efficacy oF the products that were used. Both of your representatives are consummate professionals and I look forward to doing business with your company.

My tech TJ is awesome. Professional. Polite. Detailed in his work. He should be promoted and utilized as an Ambassador for other field techs. I think he needs to be utilized for his strengths to help grow business which will be sustainable excellence in customer service in the field. That will create long term relationships and word of mouth opportunities for sales. I know talent as a former executive. Act quickly.

This company is a complete scam! DONT USE THEM! I live on over a half acre and the tech would spend only 10 mins spraying my yard and then sit in his struck for 15 mins. He also left the water running on the hose when he filled up the tank, when I mentioned this to him on his next visit he started yelling at me on my front porch. Custom service said they would have a different tech come out to service my yard, which only happened once. They send me a text message of service dates and then when it comes time for the appointment I get a text that says, “an Aptive service professional visited your home for an appointment on but it looks like we missed you.“ I work from home and have been for every appointment. To make matters worst the bug problem has only gotten worst since having their service.

The tech was excellent. I haven't seen much more benefit from Aptive than when I use insecticide myself as lawn spiders have come back just as quickly as when I do the job myself. Additionally, I am paying 8 times as much as when I bought a bag of insecticide myself last year. Nonetheless, it works, they're reliable, they came in the rain, and the tech was kind, thorough and knowledgeable.

I greeted the technician when he arrived and informed him of the pest issues we had. I told him that I had been seeing black ants around the back patio, back steps and around the chimney and that side of the house. He was nice but he said because of the rain spraying might be ineffective because the rain would wash it away. Please call back to treat for the ants we are seeing when dry conditions exist.

The guy was very meticulous in doing the job. Despite being third visit, the bait boxes were empty and not filled during the last visit and as a result, there is a mouse in the backyard. Basement has numerous spiders which were shown to the service guy. Ants are still all around the premise and in the kitchen. Not satisfied by Aptive till date.

I recently had the pleasure of using Aptive's service, and I am delighted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience, particularly with their technician, Tara. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly set her apart, making her an outstanding asset to the Aptive team. From the moment Tara arrived at our property, it was evident that she was genuinely dedicated to providing excellent service. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease, creating a comfortable atmosphere for discussing our specific needs and concerns. Tara's ability to actively listen and understand our requirements ensured that she tailored her approach to address our unique pest control needs effectively. What impressed me most about Tara was her exceptional knowledge and expertise in her field. She took the time to explain the entire process, educating us about the pests she was targeting, their habits, and the most appropriate treatment methods. Her informative explanations not only increased our understanding but also instilled confidence in the service being provided. Tara's attention to detail was truly commendable. She meticulously inspected our property, leaving no stone unturned in her search for potential pest entry points. Her thoroughness and diligence were reassuring, as we knew she was committed to providing a comprehensive and long-lasting solution to our bug problems. Beyond her technical proficiency, Tara's customer-oriented approach truly stood out. She went above and beyond to ensure that we felt heard and valued as customers. She spoke with us about the issues outside and how she was going to fix it. Her willingness to address our questions and concerns, no matter how trivial, exemplified her dedication . Based on my experience with Tara, I would like to formally request her presence for all our future bug sprayer services. Her professionalism, expertise, and customer-focused approach make her an absolute pleasure to work with. Tara's commitment to delivering outstanding service undoubtedly earns her a well-deserved 10/10 rating.

We have used Aptive at two different properties now and the service is great. It is best to be home when they spray so you can mention to the tech specific areas of concern. They successfully treated scorpions before and are now treating for cockroaches. Today, Roger came out and he was fantastic! FANTASTIC! He warned me about setting traps in my garage with my kids but they are older and I will take ownership of that risk. He set them up and showed me where. And then he sprayed outside thoroughly for me. I LOVE their complimentary respray. Yes, they come out every 60-90days, but you can ask for a respray if you see something. Thank you, Roger!

Living in the foothills, we had mice getting into our house. Aptive has worked well to prevent them from getting in the house with a combination of traps inside the basement room and inside the garage doors along with 4 bait boxes strategically placed outside to draw them away from the house. Secondly,, the service technicians have been polite, informative, and timely. And lastly, when my mother died earlier this year and I needed to cancel a service, I received a very kind email the manager suggesting my account be put on hold and resume when I was ready. This felt thoughtful and accommodating since I was continuing to make monthly trips out of state to manage her estate. Giving a little kindness can create loyal customers. No longer are there any mice inside my house and Aptive has been accommodating as well.
