the bugs are gone
The technician sprayed the perimeter thoroughly and was careful in the kitchen being mindful of pets. I'd say it was a success because the ants are gone.

technicians are fine
technicians are fine. However the company as a whole is something else. There IVR system is a joke. You can reschedule using he IVR but it does not mean it is ligit. I reschedule an application thru IVR but is was not 'honored' I waited a whole day for Aptive to show up and but no ne came. Later I received an email with a different appointment. They're service is over priced and they keep trying to schedule appointment too soon( should be every 30 to 40 days.

I get an email soon after his work wanting to know how he did. How am I supposed to know? It takes several days to see if any insects are still around after treatment

Hi Steve,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand how frustrating it can be to receive a follow-up email before having the chance to see the results of your treatment. Pest control often takes a few days to see the full effects, and we want to make sure you have the time and information needed to accurately evaluate the service.
I also understand your concern about not being able to speak with the service professional directly. At Aptive, we aim to provide clear communication and a personal touch, and your feedback shows we can improve in this area.
Please reach out to our team if you have any ongoing concerns or notice continued pest activity. We want to make sure your home is fully protected and that your experience with Aptive reflects the quality and care we stand behind.

The worst!
The spray they use to kill insects is useless. I’ve had them come out several times and it does no good. Do not waste your money on something that doesn’t work.

The man who came& told our neighbor about a large wasp's nest that was located in a electrical box that goes to his (not mine). I thought that was nice that he did that while servicing my house. He then sprayed a little "bug juice" in his box. I was fine with that & thought it was a good public relations gesture.

They do keep pests away
They do keep pests away, but the service is very expensive. It’s also supposed to be every 20-40 days, and they ALWAYS schedule every 20 days. So you have to go in and reschedule, but there’s never dates available past a few days. So you have to keep rescheduling every few days to get closer to every 40 days. It’s obnoxious.
So it definitely helps with pest prevention, but it seems they purposely reschedule every 20 days to get even more money from you.

Hi Kellie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're really glad to hear that the service has been effective in keeping pests away—that’s always our top priority at Aptive. That said, we completely understand your frustration around the scheduling frequency and the difficulty finding convenient dates. While our standard recurring range is between 20–40 days, your feedback highlights a gap in how we’re supporting flexibility and ease in managing that. I’d love the chance to review your account and see how we can better align your schedule with your preferences. If you could reach out to us at socialmedia@goaptive.com with your service address, we’ll make sure you’re set up in a way that works best for you. Thank you again for being part of the Aptive family—we truly value your feedback and are here to help make your experience smoother going forward.

Bad service
There is usually someone who knocks at our door. And we give them permission to spray after that. But instead of just going back then coming back later the guy just sprayed all over and took the money I personally did not have like seriously what kind of service is this.

Great company
I've had Aptive treat my home for about 4 years and have been very happy with the results. There is an outside entrance to a basement utility area which they also treat including the stairway down to it. They also treat the lawn for bugs/bug eggs.
Their applicators are all very friendly. Great company!
