I have been an Aptive customer since 2021 and had been pleased with their service in the past. Today I canceled their service due to poor service and customer support. They tried to say previous included services were no longer part of my plan and wanted to charge me additional fees. The technician left before completing the work. When I called customer service, after speaking with 3 different people, they were of no help. One representative even told me they already charged me for a service never completed. Not until canceling with Aptive did they inform me I would not be charged. The representative also confirmed that I should not have been told I would have to pay additional charges. Beware of poor service, and attempts to up charge. read more

Horrible customer service, ineffective pest control. Over a year of telling them there was a rat in my garage, over and over every technician, would just add more bait to ineffective traps. We fall on hard financial times and express they are not able to catch the rat, and not worth the price also financial hardship wanted even more money to get out. Then tragedy hits our home and my husband died, I really can't afford it now and they still won't let me out of the contract, not one ounce of compassion. Horrible business model. read more

Sales rep Mary Reed rude and inconsiderate. They rode vehicle on my property without permission when asked them not to ride it on the property the got right on it and I had to address with them again not to ride it on my property. If this is how their sales people are it is a clear picture of how the company operates! Will never use Aptive!!! read more

By the way, I spoke to the customer service and was told I was on a 1 year contract with them which I was never told when the rap signed me up. Their rap said you can cancelled the service at any time. We ended up with a huge argument and finally they said they will cancel my service without charging me. I knew it won't be that easy, so I had to call my bank to block this company from any future charges. As expected, few days later they called back and told me to pay the early termination fee of $199 or they will send it to collection. I won't pay a penny to this bs scam company and will fight them till the end. Again, this company is a complete SCAM, DO NO EVER FALL FOR THEIR LIES! read more

I would leave negative star rating if possible. Products do not work, and no option to transfer service without signing a new service agreement. Likely a violation that needs the attention of the FTC. Their customer service guaranteed a no-fee cancelation of service after several complaints, yet they continued to bill me. One of my worst experiences with a business. I swear they are spraying a neutral solution around my property because I had spiders/webs and ants all over the exterior of the home after several applications. Photos to prove. They need to be put out of business immediately. read more

Service was ineffective. sales Reps will say ANYTHING to get you to sign up. Cancelled 3 times and was told I was responsible for 2 months that my yard wasn't even treated because I didn't properly cancel. And also...don't forget the rediculous cancellation fees on top of 2 months of no services rendered! AND I had to purchase more anti bug products from Menards, after aptive treated my yard twice because the bugs were destroying my grass!! So as far as I'm concerned...aptive owes me for 2 ineffective treatments along with what was spent at Menards...not me owing them 2 months of no treatments and $199 for a cancellation fee!!! Don't waste your time or money! read more

I used these guys for a year over 4 years ago. I was not satisfied with the results, especially when I started having an ant and flying insect problem. I called for return service and they never got back to me. So, I canceled my service. Fast forward to today. Guy comes and rings my doorbell. I have a No Soliciting sign right at my front door. He says they serviced me in the past and wanted to know if I wanted to resume service. I said no. He asked why. I said I had a service that I really liked, less expensive. To his credit, he wasn't pushy and left. That's why I'm not giving them 1 star. But, they do ignore signs posted. I didn't realize they still have so many 1-star reviews. This salesman implied that they fixed their problems. Not hardly. read more

Representative for Aptive come by AGAIN today. Already told them no thanks twice before. Took me a while to answer the door and caught the guy looking around my kitchen through the window. WTH?! Gave me very creepy, casing the joint, vibes. Opened the door, and like before, they immediately start dropping names of the people on my street who they are supposedly doing business with. Why would it matter if they tell me Neighbor X used them, or not? It's not an actual referral. Then they start immediately going into the sales pitch about mosquitos... We have very little foliage in our yard, no standing water, regularly treat our patio furniture, etc. Spraying would be next to useless, and even if we did need it, we already have a pest control company we use. And I tell them that every time, and every time they want to know who we use and won't let it go. So pushy. I get that they are trying to make a sale, but I am under zero obligation to tell them who I do business with, especially when it's some stranger who has approached me while I'm at home. This time when I got tired of repeating that we already had someone, and no, I was not interested in continuing to discuss it with them, and began closing the door; the representative got really rude and said, so you don't got anyone then. Again, WTH? Because I won't stand there and give you want you want after you chose to knock on my door in the middle of the day, I'm the bad guy? Wow. I plan to share this experience with every neighbor I can, especially the ones they name dropped. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH APTIVE. read more

This company is the worst! They get you to agree to a 2 year contract, and then dont show up. The poor technicians are expected to treat 20 homes a day. The company is based in Utah. DON'T HIRE THIS COMPANY! read more

DO NOT SIGN UP for this company. They will hook you with a low price and then lock you into an 18 month contract. They will charge you $200 if you break the contract before the 18 months. They came out 2 times to treat our home and literally there has been zero change to our pest issue. Do not sign up for this service! read more

This company not only didn't show up for scheduled services, they rescheduled without speaking to me first. Their were multiple no-shows and I was still being charged. And time was taken off of work to meet them! Now they have put me in collections because I signed a contract - YET THEY HAVEN'T FULFILLED THEIR END OF THE CONTRACT. This company is a TOTAL FRAUD!! They cancelled my account so I couldn't provide proof of their criminal and lousy business. STAY AWAY FROM APTIVE!!!!! I have also reported them to the Better Business Bureau. read more

SCAM!!!! Sales rep claimed their big sale price was 39.99 per visit. That the only reason why I did it. Very misleading. Bunch of liars. You think you are signing for a 39.99 per visit deal, but you're not. The rest are 135.00. Then you have to pay 199.00 to cancel. Do not sign up for this. read more

Aptive Pest Control is the worse pest control company. They promised superior service over the competitors. We used them once and we had more flies after they sprayed. Communication with them is less than professional. We will stick with Brooks Pest Control, read more

They are scammers, They charge you $199 to cancel your appointment that is automatically booked online without your consent!?

Beware! One day a sales representative from Aptive pest control came to my house and offered Aptive services for pest control, his name was Mathew. He offered a one time treatment for fifty ($50). I issued a check for $50 to start same day. Few days later, I received a text message to let me know there is a follow up visit to check if the initial service was satisfactory. Days went by and upon looking at my account, there was several bills posted on my account. I call Aptive customer service and found out that I signed a contract for monthly service. The customer service that picked up the line was from Africa who was very very difficult to understand besides the line was bad. I was on hold for 45 mins then the call was dropped. I made a few more attempts but was unsuccessful, I decided to check my account with the local bank just to find out that the check I issued was never cashed but instead Aptive was using the routing # and account # to charge multiple charges. This is fraud practice by this company Aptive pest control. If you get a sales representative come to offer services, please don't buy on this one time offer otherwise you will be a victim just like me. Please take note of this and I reported this malpractice to avoid future deception. read more

Aptive sold me originally based on mosquito control. The traps they placed in my yard never worked and they were always out of refills for the in home plugs. They are terrible at customer service and my dog died because they left a bait trap open. They denied my claim and any responsibility and no one is available to talk to about it other than their customer service people who only put a note in the file but don't do anything. It is a horrible, tragic way to lose a beloved pet and they are horrible to ignore the problem. I hope no one else has to go through this due to poorly trained , negligent personnel. They also brushed black dirt onto all of my white eaves which took forever to get them to clean. All in all, expensive, didn't provide the services promised, and they caused the death of my dog. read more

signed up with a discounted rate. the service was not working. Went to cancel and they charged me a $200 cancellation fee. Was told I could cancel at anytime, no questions asked. Horrible customer service. read more

highway robbery, they just want to steal customers money! buyer beware, total con shop. almost 2k spent and no results. horrible investment!!! im now fighting to cancel, if they ring your doorbell do not answer!!!! Never Again! Update: They shut down my account and threatened to charge me $199 and are still trying to rope me into more services. I now have over 10 email exchanges with them acting like they do not understand that I do not owe them money, they owe me money Total Scammers!!! read more

This story seems to be common place, an aptive rep knocked on our door and he asked for the owner. I told him several times that we were not interested in the service to which he replied "but are you the owner?". Super unproffesional, as I closed the door he said to not worry that he could wait here for the owner. He left a couple minutes later. I don't know who trains these guys but they are doing a terrible job. We're never using aptive again. read more

Aptive - Eastvale has been awesome the past 5 years in our new community. Super responsive and friendly. NEVER had an issue with ants after the first spray. Had an issue with mosquitoes and they added traps. Now no mosquito issues! I had a wasp nest near my two-story roof, which they took care of easily. They're also very knowledgeable and can advise a creature's behavior. I don't understand the negative reviews. I think different locations should be reviewed differently. I am very happy with the service and totally recommend them if you're local. read more

The service is horrible we didn't have any improvements the customer service representative said it may take a few months. The over the phone contract was such a scam they stated we have 12 months of service or a $200 fee for cancellation. read more

Agressive and Rude. Sales person refused to leave after I said I wasn't interested. I proceeded to shut the door, and even after I shut the door, they continued to stand on my porch and talk to me through my closed door. read more

Hello, Hector came out for the monthly service. He was very thorough & asked what specific areas of concern. The usual spiders & fleas! He did a fantastic job! Showed me pics of what was done & explained what to expect in the next few days. read more

Seriously. This company needs to stop doing door to door sales. My house clearly has a no soliciting sign on the door and the salesperson (on a holiday) still knocked on my door. He seemed to claim he could not read the sign and didn't know what it meant. He also claimed he was not selling anything. This company repeatedly does this. I don't understand how any of these company's are successful with these types of tactics. I would never use or recommend this company. Ever. read more

I scheduled an appointment for 8/20/2025 between 8am and 10am. I called at 10:05 as no one had reached out to me. I received lip service from the call center person, oh he will be calling you quickly I just spoke with him. I called back at 11am, again oh he is very busy today he will get to you. Again lip service. I canceled my account and the appointment. This company has no integrity and their customer service lacks service. I will find another company that has integrity and keeps their schedule and if they are going to be late they contact you and advise what their ETA is. read more

Aptive came knocking on my door at 8:30 at night, which already felt way too late for sales calls. The representative was very pushy and wouldn't take no for an answer. I found the approach unprofessional and uncomfortable. If this is their sales tactic, it's a big red flag for me. read more

Beware of their shady business practices. Technicians and services I have no complaints, but they start doing funny things with the schedule are start booking more and more frequent visits and you get billed each time. What was a good value 4 visits a year price somehow transformed into 8+ visits. Impossible to get refund, impossible to reschedule, impossible to rectify their actions. read more

This business came too my doorstep when I was in need of help with my pests and I specifically asked questions to make sure I wasn't gonna dig myself in a hole with this purchase of services asking if I would be charged if I decided to cancel later on because I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue having service they make you sign these contracts they lie about the requirements and circumstances and when you want to cancel they charge 200$ this company came to my house one time and it resulted in 240$ for one time it does not say anything about cancellation fees nor do they tell you about it I would never come back to this company a complete rip off that I can't afford! read more

Terrible company with horrible customer service. They caused property damage and never fixed it.

Truly an unscrupulous buisness that is impossible to get hold of, and does not respond. they don't perform and they only try to upsell their products. When asked to spray certain areas like the garage and yard they say they're still take care of it but they don't perform the work. They're only interest in money which they stole $199 from me so if you want a company that doesn't perform and take your money these are the guys. read more

Absolute worst company ever! Guy comes to our door and sells us this awesome thought of not having mosquitos anymore. Long story short, not only do I have triple the amount of mosquitos, but now I have tons of spiders and all sorts of other insects. The last guy ran out of what he was spraying and went to my hose, filled his tank and continued to spray with just water. Not to mention he was horribly sloppy during the entire treatment. Now I'm trying to cancel and although I've explained that what they sold me doesn't work or is a scam they refuse to waive the $199 cancellation fee. TOTAL SCAM!!! I rates a 1 star only because you can't rate a zero read more

This company does not deserve even one star. Every treatment visit after the first time had an issue. Each treatment was done by a different representative, and each time an area was skipped. Not completed as promised when signing initial agreement. One visit I was charged for a no show. I was home, gate unlocked, & no one rang the doorbell. My dog never barked. The technician returned and knocked so lightly at my door if I hadn't been within 2 feet of door I would not of heard the light tap at my door. I notified company I needed to schedule the dates not them due to other workers on property such as a poolman. They continued to schedule and did not reply to texts, email or phone calls. I feel so RIPPED OFF by this company in so many ways. BEWARE! Wish I had researched the company first, because there are a lot of unhappy customers and lawsuits. I've been charged twice for NO SHOWS! read more

No stars a lot of money goes in the trash with their services Plus cancellation fees of $200. It's pretty much a rip off I didn't see a change and bugs and spiders are still a problem, I paid extra money for flies and mosquitoes and they brought me wasp bags for the flys I don't even have a problem with wasps so they didn't treat the flies, flies and mosquitoes are still an issue the sellers are very persistent. They won't leave unless you accept the service. read more

I've been using this service for pest control for years, now and I love it. The techs are always friendly and through. They always address my needs and check in with me before leaving to ensure they covered all the basis. read more

Kevin Arroyo sold me a full-property service plan that was stated to exceed the level of service I previously had from Urbanex and also include fire ant coverage for the entire property. If I recall correctly, he said he was a manager with his brother that ran the Plano office. After I received an email, it looks like he was a sales rep and lied to me about his position. Before switching to Aptive, I had just finished a service from Urbanex the previous week, and at that time I had zero pest concerns. The only reason I switched over was because I could combine multiple services and seemed like it would cover more property with a slightly higher cost. I explained to Kevin that the primary concern is companies scheduling service without any coordination and then showing up when I'm not available and not being able to treat the inside and make sure they're actually treating the property. I was told the first day that the full service would treat the entire property, but the weather was bad, so there was concern about being able to spray the roofline of the home. Kevin stated that they would come back to do a second full treatment since they were running out of daylight and the weather was bad. As I monitored the crew, they sent some initial pictures, but I did not see them actually complete a lot of the service. It seemed more like they took pictures to show they were doing work and never finished each task, but just wanted to make it look like they really treated the entire property. All of the existing Urbanex pest traps remained in my house, and I was told they would all be replaced. To this day, they have never been replaced. The follow-up treatment was supposed to have been a full property re-service since the first seemed rush and they didn't treat the full property, but I was not present and the bugs continued. Over the next couple months, I found a growing amount of pests in the home. Beetles, spiders, etc. I found wasp nests, and fire ant mounds began to multiply. I made a complaint on Google Reviews and scheduled a reserve. I received a text message for a service date that was not ok. I requested a new date and the only options I was given was a month or two later, which was unacceptable. Just going around the yard to take care of my trees, I accidentally stuck my hand into a fire and mound that was hidden under grass. I am highly allergic and almost died by being stung previously. I called and complained and a woman told me she would schedule an entire full-property reservice that week, inside and out. The tech that came out said he was only given a shaker cup and was not told anything about a full property reservice. The truck itself was falling apart, and he said they did not give him anything to be able to take care of anything but fire ants. I also showed the tech the Urbanex traps that were still present on the property and he told me those should have been replaced on day one and routinely replaced. He admitted that he could not treat the property for all the issues I was still having, but said he would do what he can with what they gave him. He had no sprayer or any equipment. They didn't even give him personal protection equipment and the poor person was dealing with pesticide, and was very concerning to me. I gave the tech a pack of latex gloves, because someone needs to care about this guy's health. The tech found a significant amount of fire ant mounts all over the property that were not there prior to my service and noted that there was no way the property could have been treated properly. A week or so later, I went to check the areas he showed me, and the fire ants were still present, which tells me the chemicals being used are also not adequate, and they're just giving their techs granules and telling them it is effective when it's not. I had service with Aptive back in 2018 and cancelled the service after about a year because the techs would always try to show up when I wasn't around. If I was around, I would see them pull up and park, be on their phone in the truck for about 20-30 minutes and then walk around the property once with a backpack sprayer and leave. I gave this company another chance because Kevin Arroyo said all that had changed and that was not the same office. This was all clearly a lie to get a sale. Patrick Sinegar (Operations Manager Dallas) was made aware of my complaint and emailed June 18, 2025 with an apology, but no attempt to come rectify the pest issues has been made. read more

See all

Thank you Steven for your kindness, professionalism and caring personality shown as you serviced my property today! Your unwavering compassion, dedication, and commitment to making sure your customers are satisfied with Aptive's service through a job well done, will keep me continuing my service and Promoting your company to friends and neighbors! Thanks again!! Don Pearson Very Happy Customer read more

Something felt shady about the pushy sales guy who came knocking at my door in the evening. By the time he left, I'd made my decision to use literally any pest control company that ISN'T Aptive. Upon reading these reviews, turns out I was right. read more

Straight up LIARS! Do NOT under any circumstance go with this company. They swindled me paying way more. I was told by their salesman at my door it would be $139 for a full year. I clarified 3 separate times "is that the cost for the full year". Micah the salesmen in Orange County said yes each time. I even said that it sounded like a great price, he smiled and said "I Know". Fast forward 2 months, after 2 services of them coming and spraying for a few minutes (still had several spiders after), I got charged $139 a second time. I thought that was strange but we just had a baby and I figured I'd deal with it later. Next month, ANOTHER $139 fee. I call to cancel and get a refund, and get informed it will be $199 to cancel otherwise they send it to collections. I try to call the very top and every step of the way, no one would help. I will be letting the BBB know about their shady sales tactics, and their deliberate lying. If I can save even ONE of you from not signing up with them, I will feel happy knowing that this terrible company didn't get more money. DO NOT USE THEM! read more

Goes door to door looks through your windows won't leave when you ask them to. Very unprofessional business, I would stay away and I plan on reporting so they can't solicit in my neighborhood anymore. I suggest to be careful with these people. read more

Very expensive and they charge you if you discontinue service before the contract is up
