Don’t recommend

I signed up with Aptive because the offer sounded like a good deal, but I was very clear from the beginning that mosquitoes were my main concern. I specifically explained that several surrounding homes have pools and asked how effective the treatment could realistically be with standing water nearby. I was assured that it would still work.

Unfortunately, after several treatments and even a re-service, I noticed no improvement. Based on my personal experience, I believe Aptive is selling a service that simply does not work for mosquitoes. Even on the same day my property was treated, I would sit outside and immediately have four or five mosquitoes around me and biting me. I continued getting bitten and also continued seeing other pests, including roaches.

I do want to be fair and say that the technicians who came to my home were always friendly, professional, and kept me informed about what they were doing. My issue is not with them personally. However, the mosquito traps were never emptied, refilled, or properly maintained, so there were clearly parts of the service that were being overlooked. That made me question how thorough and effective the overall treatment plan really was.

My biggest issue, however, was the customer service I received when I tried to cancel.

A representative texted me at 5:04 a.m. Los Angeles time, then only three minutes later sent another message saying, “Since I did not receive any response…” and proceeded with closing my account and discussing the termination fee. How could I possibly have been expected to respond within three minutes at five in the morning? They have my address and should know what time zone I am in. That interaction was incredibly unprofessional and dismissive.

Instead of genuinely addressing why the service was not working, the focus immediately shifted to the contract, the $199 termination fee, and trying to sell me another service visit. Even after I explained everything repeatedly, I received generic and scripted responses rather than an actual solution.

I also reached back out to the sales representative who originally sold me the service and shared how disappointed I was with the customer service. I even sent him screenshots of the interaction, but he never responded to me again.

The deal may sound appealing when they come to your door, but carefully read the agreement before signing. You may be locked into a long contract even when the service is not producing results. Based on the lack of effectiveness and the way I was treated when I raised legitimate concerns, I cannot recommend Aptive.

Hi Glenda,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your experience. We're truly sorry to hear that we fell short of your expectations. We understand how frustrating it is when mosquito activity continues after multiple treatments, especially when that was the primary reason you enrolled in our service. We also appreciate your recognition of our service professionals and are sorry to hear that the maintenance of your mosquito traps and the overall results did not reflect the level of service you expected.

We're equally sorry to hear about your experience with our customer service team and the communication surrounding your cancellation request. We understand why the timing of those messages and the responses you received left you feeling frustrated and unheard.

We'd appreciate the opportunity to review your account, the services performed, and your interactions with our team. Please reach out to socialmedia@goaptive.com directly with your account information so our leadership team can thoroughly investigate your concerns and work toward a fair resolution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We've got this handled.

Not happy

They show up at my house without me being there and without my pets being inside. I still have the black ants which I told them to eliminate and now I have a yellow jacket nest somewhere in my front yard and I really need it eliminated. I need them to let me know when they are coming instead of calling me early in the morning when I’m still in bed I need someone to reach out to me the day before and plan a time

We understand the importance of making sure you're home so your pets can be safely inside during treatment.

We'd appreciate the opportunity to review your account, your notification preferences, and the pest concerns you've described. Please reach out to socialmedia@goaptive.com directly with your account information so we can arrange a reservice, address the ant and yellow jacket activity, and work with our local team to improve communication for future visits.

Nice guys doing the work, customer service is terrible

The service providers who came out to my house were very nice and did a fine job. When I wanted to cancel my services, they made it nearly impossible to close my account. I called about a week before my contract was up and was not allowed to cancel with the date of my contract being up without being charged. I then called back after the date my contract was up and they then said that my next service date was at the end of the month and they were refusing to cancel prior to that. I told them I did not want to continue my services and did not want my last service performed, that I wanted to just cancel my account and that I had fulfilled my commitment of my contract. When they asked my reason for cancelling, I just said I did not want to give a reason and I was told to call back when I had a reason that I was giving them for cancelling.

So, even though the guys who came out were really nice and did a good job, the corporation is not friendly.

Support a local company and you will probably get better customer service.

Disappointed with the service

I have gotten 4 treatments already and have seen no difference and the reason im not seen a difference is because I signed up for the service for mosquitos and I found out that the last 3 treatments that were done were not for mosquitos. So n im still dealing with the problem.

I was promised award-winning service when I signed up with Aptive Pest Control, but unfortunately, that was not my experience. The company failed to provide the services promised, yet continued billing me as an active customer.

When I brought these concerns to management’s attention, I was disappointed by the lack of accountability and the unwillingness to address the issue or make things right. A company’s true commitment to customer service is shown by how it handles problems, and Aptive did not meet that standard.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend using this company. I encourage others to carefully consider their options before signing up for their services.

I’m very disappointed with the quality of service that I’ve been receiving. My homes has been sprayed for the past 4 months. And I’m having the same issues that I was having when I first hired them. I think they’re treating my home with water.
