Hi Heidi,
Thank you for sharing this. I can understand how frustrating it would be to feel like you cannot get in touch with someone, especially when there is a billing concern involved. That is not the experience we want anyone to have with Aptive.
You should never feel like you have to “fight” to resolve a charge or question whether service was completed. At Aptive, we document each visit and strive to communicate clearly before and after treatments. If there is ever uncertainty about whether a service was performed, that is something we absolutely want to review and clarify right away.
We also take accessibility seriously. If you had difficulty reaching our team, that is feedback we need to hear. We want our customers to feel supported and able to speak with someone who can provide clear answers.
Please reach out to us directly at socialmedia@goaptive.com with your name and service address so we can review your account, verify service history, and address any billing concerns. If a mistake was made, we will work to correct it. We appreciate the opportunity to make this right and to improve the experience you have with Aptive.

Scheduled Appointment
The technician called me about 30-45 minutes ahead of his arrival. Asked me for anything he should give special attention to, other than his regular locations. I asked him to get the inside of the garage and the lower level, inside the house. The technician was on time and handled my request(s).

New person
New person, explained why no one has been here for quite a while. Did his job and left, for forgot to set traps for nice in the garage. After leaving, I hadn't thought he had left any traps for mice, but after exploring, I saw he had left a few, but not in all of the garage. We gave a deep gaeage and there are lots of evidence of mice.
