They were very pushy with service and even saying no multiple times they kept trying to get me to sign up.

SCAM - Do not use this service. Does not work and salesmen are allowed to lie to you. Problem got worse in house because they sprayed outside and not inside. No option to close account and when you call the ask to authorize a 199$ charge to close out account. These people deserve to go out of business for unethical procedures. Sprayed chemical in and around my 3 cats food and water bowels and 2 of them died. Please stop using them read more

Aptive Pest Control - Not a damn thing. Just like what work they did - Pest Control Near Me - West Chester Township, Ohio

Like many of the other comments, I received abhorrent customer support from Aptive. I initially fell for the pressure of a knock on my door after getting my kid to bed; the salesman promised to address wasp nests and the vole tunnels through my yard. After several months of service, the vole situation has gotten noticeably worse with sections of the yard about to collapse from the tunnels. It took two attempts to cancel my service: the first call I was put on hold for 30 minutes waiting for a manager before going back to my day. I called again today and had a combative interaction with local manager Michael. Aptive had not been providing the services agreed to under "Standard Treatment - Pro" and could not detail what work they actually had done. They acknowledged they had never treated for voles or inside issues (pantry pests and fly traps) as defined in the standard support. I asked Michael for some type of remediation given Aptive had not fulfilled their end of the contract; he again commented that he could not verify what work was actually done during each service session. He offered to send the best rated serviceman to finally address the vole issue but could not detail why that worker would be providing a service different than what the others had already done (why were the better rated? how would they address it in the snow? why wasn't it already done?), and offered a discount. He could not explain why my account was past-due when I was enrolled in autopay, then escalated the cancellation fee. The biggest shocker was that he hung up the phone! read more

Unprofessional harassing, menacing door to door salesman who ignores "no soliciting" signs disturbing my baby's nap time, won't give his name, followed me home TWICE on his hoverboard, once recording me on his cell phone without my consent (showing him literally following me home, and me calling out to a neighbor for assistance). At first he claimed to not see my "no soliciting" sign, but then later said it wasn't "official" (??) so he didn't have to follow it. Called me a "Karen." Had to call the city police twice and now I'm terrified he's going to come back to my house and retaliate. Interactions today transcended "normal/mildly annoying salesman" behavior into true harassment. read more

Stay far away from this company. Paid for wasp and exterior rodent prevention, found the wasp bait station laying in the wood and didn't have any inspection recorded on it for 6 months or so, mice infestation on the patio that destroyed 100's in patio furniture coverings, couldn't find a bait station but suspect it was in same situation as wasp station. Don't remember seeing the sam person for any of the 6-7 visits and looks like they will hire anyone who can hold a spray bottle. When they sprayed in the house, all over the floor, walls, etc. Beyond horrible. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Hired them for a service to come out and remove a wasps nest last week. The tech stated that if the wasps came back within 30 days they would come back out free of charge. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with 4 different people telling me they don't offer that guarantee and I'd need to pay them to come back out. Eventually got it escalated and a gentlemen called me today saying that as a one time exception they could come back out in a week...I have little kids who are scared to go outside bc of this wasp nest. They then refused to give me a refund for not completing the service. Scammy way to do business. read more

Aptive quickly responded to an issue at our home. Pricing was competitive. Technician Danny Gebreab was excellent. He walked through the process with us. Checked the entire property and addressed all concerns. He was professional and very kind. We hope to have him as our regular tech. read more

Beware: They will charge you a $199 fee to cancel your account if you do not get 6 treatments. So even though they say you can cancel at anytime, they will charge the fee if you don't meet the 6 treatment requirement (which they don't tell you about when you sign the agreement). While the actual service was good and effective, it was alarming that they weren't honest upfront about the cancellation costs and requirements. read more

Very aggressive. When asked for a number or business card refused and tried to continue to sell claiming the neighbors already agreed.

A very pushy salesman forced us to annual contract and now we are liable for it. Terms and conditions were not fully clear to us

The Company is a scam. The sales team lie to you to make the sale, the customer service is unhelpful in every way. They will never do a refund and have a large cancelation fee. Routinely break the contract they signed. Their team members will not respond to messages as promised. They are worth zero dollars much less the amount they make you pay. read more

I haven't used this company at all and I won't. I am writing this review based on sales persons coming to my door 3 times in 2 weeks. The first time, my husband said we weren't interested and that was it. The second time, I said we weren't interested and that was it. The third time, which bothered me the MOST, was less than an hour ago. I am on the clock working from home. So, I go to the door and the sales person started his schpiel and I had to interrupt him VERY quickly to tell him I'm working and I can't respond to him. He was trying to sell a "group rate" for our street. I understand they are trying to get business but just put a flier on the doorknob and I'll call you if and when I'm interested in your services. Otherwise, don't knock on people's doors or ring their doorbell if it's during working hours for most people. read more

cancelled my enrollment with Aptive and they immediately charged me $200 for cancelling, only sent one letter saying I owed them and they have already sent me to collections for it. This company is a scam. read more

They came out and did my neighbor house about two weeks ago!! And it literally did nothing!! Because her roach infestation has gotten worse. I've been spraying my yard to control the situation because they have invaded my trash can the tech said he would do a very thorough job inside & out. But it seems to have gotten worse yall definitely need to send qualified techs out!!! I personally would never use Aptive read more

Hands down the worst all around and most expensive. The monthly fees are higher than other companies and they don't work. 12 months in, and our house was overrun with spiders. Their mosquito spray does nothing, neither does their mole treatment. We were home when the technicians would come and it was a 50/50 shot on whether they would actually do a thorough job or not. At one point, a tech didn't show but the company said they did. It took a week and a half of arguing back and forth for them to realize the person went to the wrong house and for them to send someone else out. After 12 months, we decided to cancel, talked to a rep and was told it was fine and we'd have no fees. Fast forward to 3 months after that and start getting phone calls from aptive telling us we owe them $199 for cancellation fees! We had to pay or be sent to collections. So, not only did we pay more per month than we ever have with any company for 12 months for the worst services ever but we also got to pay an extra $200 just to get away from them! Just terrible! read more

Just spoke with a very pushy salesman. Not impressed and there is no way I will ever use them now. He didn't offer any material to read and wanted me to decide to use them immediately. Not going to happen. read more

Products seem to produce more bugs than anything. They were responsive in keeping appointments and billing... I recently got hate mail that I needed to pay $0.00 or they would report me to the credit bureau. Not sure the best way to handle that Customer service is snotty Please find anyone else you can!! read more

Aptive is a horrible company please do not do business with them. I have more spider and bugs since they came. They came a 2nd time without my permission. I signed up for a special they were offering and their employee signed me up for a 24 month plan and emailed me the contract that I never seen it signed up for. I signed up and paid for my part upfront. Tried to charged me $199 cancelliation fee for a contract I didn't ask, agree or sign up for. I paid for 2 visits with the special and we should be even. Contacting BBB asap read more

Very god service always easy to get appointments have very knowledgeable expert that keep you well informed of any needs

Signed up for the mosquito treatment, after dealing with a super pushy sales guy, who said that they'd continue to service until all pests were gone, except when you call for a retreatment, it's a 2-3 week wait, and you continue to deal with mosquito the entire summer, and they keep charging you for the service despite it not working, then if you ask to cancel since they haven't provided the requested service they will charge you to cancel. End up with a $199 cancelation charge and more bugs than when they started. Waste of money, avoid! read more

This company has horrible door to door salespeople who won't take no for an answer. They've been to my home 4 times. They are rude and persistent. read more

Horrible. More bugs after they came then before. Do not come back out when you call or request them.

I've dealt with pushy salespeople before but Tyler (based out of Westchester, OH) was the absolute worst. Would not take no for an answer, and continued with his sales pitch even after I went back inside and closed the storm door. He also lied about treating my neighbors right from the start. Claimed "everyone" was moving from Termini to Aptive. I will not do business with them and advise to stay away. The reviews online backed up my experience with them. The company and everyone who works for them should be ashamed to be associated with such underhanded dealings. read more

Great service great treatment great people! Was worried about how this would go since I had never bought from a door salesmen be he was kind patient and answered all my questions the service was very thorough and my expectations were met! read more

Today was my second experience with door-to-door solicitors from **Aptive Environmental, LLC** out of West Chester, Ohio. Just as with their prior visit, the woman at my door immediately began with a false canned story about how she was letting me know I "would soon see their truck on the street" as our "neighbor's house was being treated for bugs." Word to the wise: When the door-to-door sales person opens with a lie, it's never a good idea to consider doing business with the company they represent. Caveat emptor! read more

In the two days my mom has been home recovering from her double mastectomy, these Aptive sales people have been to our house THREE times, trying to take advantage of my father when he is dealing with caring for my mom. When they came for the third time I had to forcefully ask them to leave and stop bothering my parents . Not to mention they showed up with no masks during this pandemic! Very pushy sales tactics that have no place in these times. read more

Door to door salesman when there is a pandemic. Refused to email information. Very pushy and high pressure sales. I would not recommend signing up with this company. read more

I thought the knock was the tree removal company. The Aptive salesman had no mask and was rude, mocking, and belligerent when I asked him to leave my property. Aptive had no permit to solicit door-to-door. This could be the scam where one keeps you at the door while the other sneaks in the back. read more

Aptive Pest Control - Two Aptive salespersons, no permit, no health department mandated masks during COVID-19 - Pest Control Near Me - West Chester Township, Ohio

An extremely aggressive salesperson claiming to be from this company came to our door and started getting angry with my wife for not using this company. I will NEVER do business with people that think this is an acceptable business practice. read more

The salesperson lied to my husband when they signed him up and forged his signature and initials. When he called to cancel, they said they would have to send it up the chain and the email response was ridiculous! They just told my husband how he had signed the agreement and didn't even address the issue that his initials and signature were forged! read more

Terrible business. One to be avoided at all costs. Their sales people hound our neighborhood with data mined about the neighbors with public data. Rude and pushy sales people! read more

Like other reviews - I found their pushy salesperson to be bothersome. I can just be glad that I have a security system which took the guys photos... just in case. There was something about this guy which just didn't feel right. In any regard, he would not accept no, no matter how many times I tried. I finally had to simply tell him to leave. Note to management at Aptive - you really, really need to change your sales practices. As it now stands, I would have zero trust in anything they sell. BTW - I have purchased similar services in the past - but your firm would never be considered. read more

The reps who sign you up will straight up lie to you. The reps will say anything to get the service and of course know that you will not read the entire contract. The person insisted that all charges would be refunded and that the contract would be void if we did not see a lasting and marked improvement regarding pests and insects. The effects of the treatments are indeed seen - though only for about 2-3 weeks and then everything returns to the way it was (and perhaps worse). I have now paid over $250 to this horrible company and they are billing me for an additional $150 per the terms of the contract. To make matters worse, I am now receiving menacing calls from these people insisting the amount must be paid. If not paid the matter will be sent to collections. read more

A pushy salesperson who would not take no for an answer. I decided to go ahead and give it a try. My first visit was supposed to be a thorough assessment of my house with the technician providing a review of his findings. Was told to expect 60 - 90 minutes. The technician was here less than 20 minutes with no review provided. After my first "service" I walked around my house and found several spider webs. (The attached pictures were taken within an hour of the technician being on-site). On top of that, they withdrew funds from my bank account twice for the same service. I am waiting on the phone for the 4th time in 3 weeks to get the double charge credited. In my closing comments, I will say that I have had more bugs in my house since that initial service than I have had in the last 5 years. On the positive, their Customer Service is attentive, polite, and understanding. Not enough to justify wasting your money though. read more

See all

Door-to-Door sales tactics make it seem like a scam. No permits, "have a truck around the corner" instant sale tactics. Not interested in giving a card with company number because that allows customer to think. Talks a hundred miles a minute using big words to confuse you into signing a contract. I will never do business with companies like this. read more

Came to my home during a pandemic without a mask to tell us someone else would be in the neighborhood tomorrow. My husband told him we were laying out baby down for bed and he needed to leave and he did not. In the meantime our dog escaped, so my husband has to go chase him around the front yard while I was waiting for this virus-spreading man to leave so I could put my baby down for bed. Irresponsible and ridiculous. I'd never heard of this company before today and you can bet I will NEVER use them or recommend and if my neighbors, friends or family to. Awful. read more

Company has horrible sales practices. The guy would not take no for answer. I will never do business with this company. Poor poor customer service. read more

i would strongly recommend not using this company. Talk to a sales rep they signed me up they told me their product was safe for kids pets etc. when it came down to actually providing the service the technician told me I had to kick my kids out of the house I have all my pets out of the house for at least three hours. And that's not even the main issue the main issue is the billing and billing department. Was never called by the technician was told he did a service on my house check my security cameras no service was completed it was raining and no one was home. He supposedly treated around my house and around my garage and then the billing department tried to charge me for a full service over $140 when I spoke to the billing department and customer service told him did not receive the service and that I was not paying. their billing department would call me 3 to 4 times a day and after talking to numerous people they sent me to collection's had to threaten them with legal representation to get them to stop the collection and wipe my account. Stay away from them read more

Sales pitch was awesome, first treatment was effective, maybe due too all the additional chemicals they use on the first time. After that the services were very brief with no significant change after they were completed. After my year of mostly wasted service canceling is a nightmare similar to Time Warner / Spectrum. So far 30 min on hold waiting for account retention to cancel my service. Beware of great sounding salesman. read more

I received an email saying Aptive would be doing my service on the 30th of December and I called to cancel that service because my son is staying with me and he has 2 pit bulls that I wouldn't trust if a stranger was going from room to room in my house. I explained to the manager that my son would be closing on his new house and would be moving from my home by the end of January , she told me that she couldn't schedule the service past the 24th of January but that she could have the service person come out on the 24th to do the outside and then they could schedule a follow visit for the 31st to do the inside. I told her if their service person is out working around the outside of my home and in my yard that the dogs are going to be going crazy and I didn't want to have to listen to that and I preferred to have the service done on the 31st of Jan. and I am the one paying for the service and should be able to decide when I want the service done and she said she was sorry but she could not schedule any later then Jan. 24th. I told her I now understand why their company gets such bad reviews and that I would also write one. They will be charging me for the service because they have me on auto pay for $95 a quarter. I told her I wanted to cancel my 3rd and 4th quarter services and she said that my penalty charge would be $200 to do that, so basically you end up paying for the services whether you have them done or not. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Beware read more
