Latest Aptive Reviews
Just left a young 20 year old door-to-door cold call salesman who desperately wanted to lock me into a deal which after a little due diligence is quite similar to what I see below from thoroughly disappointed customers. Their bottom line recommendation "don't use this company" is codespeak for DON'T SIGN UP FOR THIS COMPANY! This pushy saleskid simply did not want to take "NO" for an answer nor give me the opportunity to do independent due diligence research & competitive shopping. As he left he was ungracious enough to complain that I wasted his time. Wow. Didn't he understand the inverse, that he was equally wasting my time. He couldn't verbalize how their pest control wouldn't affect... Read More
I regret ever signing up with Aptive. After canceling my service and getting both email and verbal confirmation, the technician still showed up my house anyway. I even texted the technician directly, but instead of acknowledging my request, he ignored me and instead replied that the service was done and which areas he focused on. Meanwhile, my daughter called me in a panic because a stranger was walking around our house. That was the last straw. I immediately requested to terminate the contract as it became a safety issue, but Aptive still hit me with the full $199 cancellation fee—taking zero responsibility for how unsafe the whole situation made us feel and why we were terminating .

We originally signed up for Aptive in 2018 as a safer alternative to other pest control services. The price was decent for the time and seemed like a great option. At first we didn't see much of an improvement in ants, spiders, beetles, or much else. We gave it another chance and after the 2nd application it seemed like it was finally working. We kept service up for a year, decided to take a break and then restarted in 2023 after noticing an uptick in various species of ants and many other pests including mice, rats, and more. Again, didn't see much improvement after the first visit even though the service person did a very thorough job. After that first service, I noticed a decrease in... Read More
Lies, Lies, Lies! Hard pressure sale with lies. 1 all your neighbors have joined, Lie! 2 It will only cost you $300/year if you sign a 2 year contract, Lie! The cost is $200/month with a minimum of $2400.00 over 2 years, and they don't kill the bugs. Mosquitoes got so much worse. The only thing they killed were bees and butterflies. Absolutely no value for the money spent. Horrible customer service with no care or concern for how the service was sold and the lies the salesman told. They deserve zero stars. Big cancellation fee, $200 Just slam the door when they come.
I agree to try this service for 99.00 every month for a couple of months and then after that every other month. Imagine my surprise when I found out they were charging me 159.00 a month. This was only for the outside of my house. I canceled today and they charged 199.00 to do that. They did not give me what they told me. Please do not get service through them. They will take advantage of you!!!
Just wanted to send a shout out for your tech Mark on his latest treatment of my house. Once again another great job,thanks for your help.
Hired Active to treat yard and inside for pest control The first few treatments went fine both inside and the yard. Their one service tech "Drake" does an excellent job. However experiences with their other techs are less than satisfactory. They literally do the minimum and I have caught them not treating the yard and only doing a quick walk around the perimeter of the house to treat the 1 acre lot. From ringing the doorbell to "treating" my yard and leaving was literally 10 minutes. It's recorded on the Ring Camera. And showing up at 7:15pm when I've literally waited all day for the "treatment" is not acceptable. This has happened in the past with other techs from Aptive. Sorry... Read More
Promises to perform pest control at reasonable prices. We have a large area that was discussed being treated and the technician twice performed their services in less than 20 minutes. First, "initial" treatment was ineffective, and we ended up treating the area ourselves with much better results. Second treatment was 25 minutes. Decided to cancel after the minimal effort to treat the entire area.
Was charged for discontinuing services based on the contract. Would not recommend their services.
This company is horrible to deal with. They told me I was signing up for inside and outside treatments but the technicians that have showed up say they are not qualified to do in house treatments. They also randomly schedule appointments and then rarely show up for that appointment while you have been left waiting all day. Then when you go to cancel your contract, they want to charge you $199 when they are not providing the services they said I was signing up for. Completely terrible company
All they want is your money and nothing else. Very hard to cancel the subscription and when you give them permission to charge your card, if it is at the limit they just bill you without telling you. When you call and say that you are going through financial hardships they just say in order to do anything about cancelling you must pay now. Very poor customer service.
Absolutely Horrendous! Lying sales reps sign people on contracts and dont disclose any information. Then want to double charge and then a $199.oo cancelation fee. Biggest scam in pest control.
I just cancelled my subscription after receiving 2 treatments and they made me pay $199 to cancel. They offered to give me a stronger solution with my treatments but I think they should do that right away. They also offered multiple discounts when I called to cancel, but I refused. Read the contract because eventhough the guy who sold me the subscription said it would cost me $100 to cancel if I didn't complete the 12 month package, they said the contract says otherwise. Also, I had to follow them around the entire house inside and outside to be sure they were doing what they were to do. Eventually, on the second visit, I noted that they didn't spray the eaves as they said they would... Read More
When they come to your door to solicit, say NO THANK YOU. Salesman does not give full story about the cost.
When they come to your door to solicit you, just save yourself a lot of future grief by saying , no thank you, and shut the door.
I can't say anything bad about this company. They show up when they say, do their job, and if there were any bugs, there isn't any now.
I was driving on the toll road westbound, adjacent to the 91 this morning around 7:45am. I was following one of your trucks, CA Plate: 64736M3. He was driving approximately 65 mph. I moved to pass him as I was traveling approximately 75 mph. Your driver sped up, attempting to prevent the pass. I completed the pass and the driver was following very, very closely. I sped up to approximately 80 mph and the van then tried to pass me. When the van’s passenger door was parallel to th front bumper of my car, the driver sharply cut into my lane of traffic. I slammed on the brakes to avoid an accident. It was not just close. Had I not braked hard and quickly, we would have had an... Read More
Ditto to all the 1-star customer comments and reviews!!!
I regret having believed that they would deliver on what they said they would do!!!
When my contract is up, I will never have anything to do with Aptive!!!
Aptive is a scam and I wish there was a legal way to get away from them. I've seen them pull up to my home, walk around my house in 1 lap, take a few pictures, stick a sign in on my front lawn and leave all in 3 minutes!!! I have my more issues with bugs and mice than ever before! I had a bee problem when they came to my door, which is why I gave them a chance. They sad "no problem" and came real quick for first treatment (turns out that's to lock you in before you can cancel). Afterwards, I called them many times, saying there were still bee issues and I'm deathly allergic! They came back 2 times, still bees all around my doorway to my home. After a month of trying to work with them I had... Read More
I wish that I never would have contracted with this company. I thought they were going to come out on a quarterly basis, which I thought would be okay, but they come out every 45 - 60 days, which is way too often. I believe they do this so they can bill more, $128.82 each visit. They schedule visits with a 1-day notice. I was sick recently and was at the doctor's office, not knowing that they had scheduled a "treatment", until I saw the payment hit my bank account (their preferred method of payment). I called and complained, so they have scheduled a "re-treatment" at no extra charge. If there was a way to cancel this contract, I most definitely would!!
Customer service is terrible. They send me a text message stating a technician is coming on a certain date for a treatment without checking with me ahead of time to see if I'll even be home (happened 3 times); and trying to reschedule is impossible via text message. You're dealing with BOTS and so extremely frustrating. Via text message, we agreed on a date of December 27, then I receive a text message this morning (December 18) that someone will be here the following day, which was not the agreed upon date. I called customer service and explained the situation, asked her to check my account, and the date of December 27 wasn't recorded; only December 19. Explained to the customer... Read More
Their service is awful. The men come to our house take a photo and then go away without ringing the doorbell. They did this on multiple occasions. Also, they failed to notice that we had a rat problem. Never again will I use this company.
Was lied to from the sales rep stating I would have mosquito service included at no cost, when I received my first statement that was not the case. They billed me for the mosquito service and did not want to provide what the salesperson and I agreed on. I canceled my service and yet they still tried to send techs out to service my property. They are now charging me to exit my contract when they are the ones who don’t want to hold up their end of the deal. Poor business ethics and principles
I called to Aptive twice to cancel the services. I've sent several emails, and they are still continue sending people and Chargin $190 usd even when they don't perform any service. What i should do to stop with this abuse. I have sent several emails indicating that i'm not authorizing any services in my property. But they are still continue schedule appointment.
Aptive goes door to door like home security services and I decided to give them a go. The problem is you do not get the same technician each and everytime and the difference in technician proficiency is like night and day. First of all, they do not let you know they are arriving and when they come to your door it is much of a surprise rather than letting you know in advance so you can place the appt on your calendar. Second, since it is always a different technician, they don't know where specific insect traps are set so they don't know to service them. getting out of contract with them is expensive, I will never use them again.
Aptive
Mr Sadot Canseco was the best I can see how much time he spent cleaning and then spraying all over , My request is to have him again I like how he takes pride in his work , APTIVE must be very happy with this worker thank you again it was so nice to meet him for the first time .
