Leo did a great job. Let us know when he would be arriving. Arrived when he said he would. Was conscientious of the fact we had a dog.

Leo sounds like he nailed the little details that make a visit go smoothly, and we love to hear that, Susan! We’re so glad he kept you informed, arrived when promised, and was thoughtful about having your dog on the property as well. That kind of care and consideration goes a long way.
We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Leo and his team. Thank you for choosing Aptive and for recognizing one of our local experts!

Not as good as Orkin
We were with Orkin and they did a great job. They showed up about every month and took care of everything. This company is deceiving and makes it seem like they’re at least as good but they only show up every couple of months or so. They are willing to come back if you ask them to, but I shouldn’t have to keep asking them to come back.

More expensive without any better outcome
The staff/service application is Ok.
The price is high and lack other combo options (application every other month for example).
And worst, I did not see any difference between Aptive and my previous pest control. I was promised even better mosquito control but definitely no impact...
I will probably go back to my previous company which was cheaper and gives same result.

Absolutely horrible door to door rep…
Absolutely horrible door to door rep that disregarded private property no trespassing sign, disregarded our no soliciting sign, and disregarded our "do not knock or ring doorbell, no excuses no exceptions" sign. Knocked loudly and rang our doorbell. When I confronted him about this, he attempted insulting me, rode his Segway around in circles and got off it and danced, trying to escalate the situation. He stayed in front of my house for 5 minutes loudly arguing with me.

Hi there,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're very sorry to hear about your experience. The behavior you described is completely unacceptable and does not reflect Aptive's expectations for professionalism or respect. Our representatives are expected to honor posted signage and interact with homeowners courteously at all times.
We'd appreciate the opportunity to have this handled by our local leadership team. Please email us at socialmedia@goaptive.com with your address and any additional details so we can investigate this matter, address the representative's conduct, and take the appropriate action.

Disappointed in several things:
Disappointed in several things:
I was told I could cancel at any time. No, I'm stuck in a year contract. I was charged the day I signed up and a technician came to treat my yard that day. I wasn't able to get out of my contract with my company because they needed a month's notice. So two treatments and two services in one month.
Upon my yard being treated I received pictures of my neighbors house being treated. I called and reported that.
After my place was treated , I asked the technician if the dirt bank was treated with granuals which penetrated 3 inches deep. That was my selling point! They had to schedule another time to come out to spread the granuals.
I've had two different technicians the past two months; both did a great job. I would prefer one technician each time.
Will see how this year goes. I hope I didn’t make a mistake by changing from company that we have had since 1995!

Tim completely turned around my…
Tim completely turned around my experience with Aptive during a recent re-treatment visit. After my initial service on 27May2026, I still had concerns about ant activity and noticed that the eaves and spider webs around my home had not been thoroughly cleaned, nor ant baits was add to the correct location when the infestation occured.
Tim took the time to carefully inspect the situation, patiently explain the ant activity I was seeing, and walk me through the treatment plan. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cared about addressing my concerns rather than rushing through the appointment.
What impressed me most was his attention to detail. He thoroughly cleaned the eaves and removed spider webs that should have been addressed during the previous service 4 days ago. He took pride in his work and made sure everything was completed properly before leaving.
Customer service and workmanship make a huge difference, and Tim delivered both. He transformed what had been a disappointing experience into a positive one and restored my confidence in Aptive's service. Thank you, Tim, for your professionalism, patience, and dedication to doing the job right.
