Aptive Pest Control - Bad customer service. - Pest Control Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Worst company. Salesman lied right from the beginning. They came out twice and still haven't done what they were supposed to do. Stay away from this company. Get a reputable company to come in. They sent a 19 year old salesman who I found out knew nothing about what he was talking about and just told lies. Also took my neighbor for the same thing. You hear Aptiva RUN CLOSE YOUR DOOR. No matter what deal they try to give you still run. They now want to lower my monthly bill to 1:2 since I told them I would see them in court. They have been to the house twice and still haven't done yet to do what they were supposed to do. They want me to take another day off from work snd give them a 3rd chance. I don't think so. Just beware it's APTIVA PEST CONTROL! Stay away! read more

Aptive Pest Control is constantly sending sales reps into our neighborhood, and it's become overwhelming. They don't just come once in a while, sometimes they knock on the same house twice in a single day. Even after being told "no," they keep coming back. This aggressive door-to-door approach feels more like harassment than customer service. People should be able to enjoy their homes without being interrupted repeatedly by sales pitches. If this is how they treat potential customers, I can only imagine what the actual service is like. Residents in our community are frustrated, and I hope Aptive rethinks these tactics. read more

We are a no soliciting neighborhood and I don't appreciate a salesman disturbing me during one meeting but coming around to disturb me later during a second meeting. Nothing turns me away from a business as door to door sales. Use targeted ads to their advantage. read more

Shady contract and billing practices.. Contact was for 129 per quarter and they charged me 129 per visit.. Didn't catch it until almost a year later. They would not correct it. I would avoid them, there are plenty other pest companies read more

I signed a contract and now regret it. They are double charging me. The customer service will hang up on you when they can't fix a problem. Having to stay home all day from work for them to come is ridiculous. And on top of everything their products do nothing in my house or outside. Myself and 4 others in my neighborhood are just waiting for the contract to end. So disappointed. The only bright side is the techs are very nice. Other than that I have nothing good to say. Aptive you have to do better or your company is going to fail. Tell you last customer service rep thanks for hanging up on me because she is why I was inspired to write this review. read more

Do not use this company. The guy we signed up with said we could cancel any time. NOPE 24 month contract. My dogs and I get sick everytime they come. read more

I would give a -100%- I had a real bad experience with Aptive the service not provided as promise never did the inside of the home and when claimed the services for 75 a month were on point to charge my card before anything was done and provided this information to costumer service and was treated real bad they acted like a was never promised services inside just out the home. So I was not reimbursed by the last 2 payments done and not complete services. The costumer service person even treated me like she was bullying me. I just left it alone but had a real bad experience with both services and bad costumer service worst one ever. They charge my card $75 and cancel for the tech not to come they kept my money and previous month too in which I had requested for them to redo since the full service was not done. Didn't get the service or my 2 month reimbursement. read more

This company sends out solicitors on hoverboards who are aggressive and become smart asses. Just read a few reviews. Most of today's scams come in a digital form but this comes via hoverboards. I'm betting this company changes names 2x a year, they clearly dont have your pest needs in mind, only your money. If it weren't for the fact of losing my job I would have taken a baseball bat to this POS solicitor. I was only called to his attention after a female neighbor contacted me saying she was uncomfortable with his presence. read more

DO NOT USE APTIVE: we used them for about three years and the quality has fallen immensely. The final straw was a visit that left up wasps nest and a lot of spider webs (even on the FRONT DOOR). They weren't even trying and they still wanted to collect money from us. If they can't be trusted to do the highly visible stuff, how can they be trusted to do anything else? Stay away. read more

Aptive Pest Control - Text message sent by Aptive. - Pest Control Near Me - Orlando, Florida

With bi-monthly service for moles, Critter Control has been an utter failure. I have texted several times to have the technician talk to me about the problem getting out of control in the back yard. Never any response. I finally emailed and cancelled service. I got a confirmation response back, but no questions about why I cancelled. Apparently they only care about the $$$. Trutech came today and I was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY by the customer service. My yard was much worse than I thought. They are going to fumigate tunnels, bait and trap. Got the right company now! read more

I'm looking ahead and already dreading the experience I expect to have with this service. It feels inevitable that I'll end up overpaying, especially with the unprofessional individuals likely to show up for pest control. I can already picture myself being charged $100 a month for just five minutes of work at my property. I'm bracing myself for the frustration of being locked into a 24-month contract, knowing that trying to cancel will come with a hefty fee. I expect the customer service to be terrible. I can see myself enduring a long two-hour wait just to get the cancellation process started, only to find that three months later they'll still be billing me. I just know I'll have to engage in a long argument to find out it'll cost me $300 to break free from this contract. I'm already feeling motivated to take matters into my own hands and spray for bugs myself. Do yourself a favor: avoid this company and go with a reputable one instead. I'm sure I'll find far better service for the same price. Honestly, I wish I didn't even have to give them one star because they don't deserve it at all. read more

The sales person promises everything and then they deliver half of those promises. You don't find out until after cancellation period that they cannot do what the sales person promised, so you are either stuck with the HIGH monthly cost or pay the $199 cancellation fee. I determined it was cheaper to pay the cancellation fee! Low quality for the highest fee out there, avoid!!! read more

1. A sales guy came to my house, started by saying "let me do 1 service" then they hand you something to sign that says you're signing up for a year. 2. The first treatment was fine and did help with the ants. The second treatment, didnt even happen. We have cameras at my house. The pest control guy came to my house, he took a picture of himself in front of the house and left. 3. I called customer service and told them this and they didnt even seem to care. The lady I spoke with barely spoke english and sounded like she was just reading from a script. I told them I wanted to cancel and she said I can only cancel if I paid for the whole year of service... 4. Aptive is a scam. They hire ghetto people who don't actually do anything. read more

My experience is similar to others. Here's what happened. Young kid with an iPad and tells me there are 7 houses in 20 house community that Aprive services. He tells me about everything they do and what other companies don't do. I asked for documentation or a card, he stated he didn't carry any of that. I said, ok well, thanks I'll just review the website because I've never heard for this company and I want to research. He told me that was ok, but do not call the office number because they will charge double and to call him instead because he would give a discount. I said no and IF I became interested I would call the office not some random kid rollin up from the street, sorry. Then he proceeds to show me on Google how they have so many good reviews. He asks if I'm familiar with Forbes, then flashes some article. He said they would be providing service tomorrow to the 7 houses and would I be home. I said why, he said so I can come by and get you signed up. Uhhh I have to work. Thanks, bye. I don't only rely on Google, so I checked Yelp, to see if had the 4.5 star rating, and well, here we are. I won't be using this service. read more

When I started the service you could tell they did something. As time went on, their service was not up to par. When I caught them in a lie, I was told I was the lier. When I know if someone is in my yard and more than once they never entered the yard I finally got tired of it. I was told they have a cancel fee. I said I should be reimbursed because I did not get the service they claimed. Again, I am told I lied. Would not recommend them to anyone! read more

Sold me a service after soliciting me and then changed the terms. Then it's a constant issue for them to show when scheduled. Awful to do business with. I would never recommend. read more

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING with this company! I wish I had been at the door when Aptive's salesman roped my husband into a scam. Despite "NO SOLICITING" signs posted in our gated community, their high-pressure reps rode hoover boards and unicycles around the gates. The reps lied, claiming it was a one-time payment, not a contract. They even sent a second team out who didn't know we were already signed up, confirming the deceptive tactics. The "service" was a joke-a tech spent maybe 3 minutes on my half-acre property. When we tried to get a refund for services not rendered, they manager was completely unhelpful. They are quick to take your money each month but fail to deliver on their promises. Again DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING with this company. Read everything! Or just find a pest control company recommended by your neighbors. read more

This company will scam you and endorse thier slimy salesman. The salesman can up to my house and told me they offered great service and also told me they would cancel my current subscription on my behalf to include cancelation fees. Why on earth would I need to services? About 2 weeks later my other provider shows up to treat the house. Now Aptive wants to penalized me with a cancelation fee for me believing their lies. They would put themselves first before you and there is no accountability or honesty their. If their sales department is ran this way its safe to assume their whole business operates this way. I called them to try to reason with then and they stood their ground. read more

they actually don't deserve 1 star. Today was our last day of our contract. I can't say 1 good thing about their terrible service. Today, the guy showed up late, and was gone in 10 minutes ! Previously, after doing the " treatments " they always sent me a text message, with photos showing exactly what they did. Not today ! because no services were actually done. For this, we were charged $90.00 ! What a dispicable and dishonest " business " Aptive is. Shame on them. read more

Take my advice. Do not sign a contract with Aptive Environmental. In the event that you are dissatisfied with their service, you have to buy out the remainder of your contract. In my case, the buyout was $200. Here's my story. I live in DeLand, FL. Unfortunately, the pest control company I have dealt with for over forty years was sold and the new company didn't continue the high quality of service that I was accustomed to, so I had to look elsewhere. A salesperson from Aptive Environmental happened to come to my door at this time, so I explained that I had two needs to fill. I'd been using a perimeter treatment, which I was extremely pleased with, so I wanted a continuation of the same. Secondly, and VERY importantly, I'd been plagued with small red ants in my yard and I wanted them gone. The salesperson waxed poetic about the treatment to eradicate the ants. I was very specific in my questions to him and he assured me that they would be able to clear up the problem completely. I should add that the price he quoted me was well over three times the cost of my former provider's service, but that was okay as long as they were able to rid my yard of those tiny little demons. He handed me a iPad style tablet that had a mile long contract in mouse print that was so small I couldn't read it, but against my better judgment, I signed it. Rookie move! They also did not send me a copy of the contract, which was promised, so to this day I cannot review the terms of the agreement. Moving into the present, I've had many treatments and had them also return to re-treat, but there is zero improvement to the problem with the ants. This morning, I phoned to cancel the service and was informed of the $200 buyout. APTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL FAILED MISERABLY AT FULLING THE PROMISE OF THEIR SALESMAN TO MEET MY NEEDS. Apparently, in all that wordy mouse print, there is no clause about customer satisfaction. This customer is clearly NOT satisfied. If you're considering signing a contract with Aptive Environmental, don't be stupid like I was. BEFORE SIGNING THEIR CONTRACT, READ EVERY WORD OF THE MOUSE PRINT. IT WILL TAKE CONSIDERABLE TIME TO DO SO. HAVE THEM ADD TO THE DOCUMENT, ALL OF YOUR CONCERNS AND A CLAUSE TO WAIVE THE CONTRACT IF YOU ARE NOT FULLY SATISFIED WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE IN ADDRESSING THOSE CONCERNS. Enough said. read more

Sales kid rolling up the street on a Hover board tricked me into a conversation by asking if he can pet my dog.. he was kind when giving details. But when I said not now, I need to speak to my husband. he got real pushy asking to come to my porch . Asking to play tether ball with me..begging to put my home on the schedule. I just laugh and say no. I live in a gated, No solicitation neighborhood. This company needs to learn to take NO for an answer the first time not the 5th!! He'll be back around 9 PM ... we won't be answering the door. I hope u see this. Don't waste your time. read more

I was very happy with the service and technicians since signing up with Aptive last year on May 2024. However, they managed to upset with to the point that I no longer want to pursue a 2 year contract and have immediately cancelled my service. I have had ant, earwig, spider and roach problems inside and outside our home. We had a regular service call ($165 charge) on Mar 2025 but I was unable to open my backyard because I didn't hear the doorbell. I scheduled a reservice visit (no charge) earlier this month but still had issues with earwigs and ants. Then I scheduled a reservice call online and had them come out today, April 18. They have a service satisfaction guarantee but I guess they no longer honor this. The technician did a great job but I noticed I was charged $165. I called customer service and spoke to a manager to see if she could help me. She justified the service charge and said that I was due for a service anyway. Had I known they were going to charge me, I would never had scheduled the call. This is complete BS and they just lost thousands of dollars from me. I hope it was worth it for them. What a scam! read more

Aptive Pest Control - They still charged me!! - Pest Control Near Me - Orlando, Florida

if I could give zero stars i would. The worst pest control ever.The guy came and said how thorough they would the first service was really good. After that they came out for 5 minutes and charged 179 for each time. We called to cancel and they said that we couldn't unless we paid an extra 199 so they forced to paying them more money will never recommend them to anyone. the guy was out just out last week and we have more bugs than before he came. Worst company ever Don't waste your money read more

If only I had read the reviews before-hand, something the young salesperson did not recommend I do! Like most, we were approached at our private residence on a weekend, a day to recover from the work week and not worry about salesmen solicitors. However, we entertained the young salesmen approach just because of common Florida pest problems that arise in the home. Guy in a green aptive shirt with his Ipad, calming down our family dog. He proceeds to ask us what type of pests we were experiencing in the home, gives us a whole run down how their spray solutions are "eco-friendly", yeah friendly to just about every bug outside- it's useless on them. The pitch came in with a spray of $40 for mother's day weekend and how it was a great offer, we sat down in our foyer to discuss the CONtract of the frequency of visits, which we agreed to bimonthly. Gets our business. Upon the first visits, young guy comes and sprays the property for $169! About 2-3 more visits on a monthly visit, opposed to the bimonthly, we knew this was not a honest company, none of the treatments worked. In fact the waterbugs made their way inside the house! When and all said and done to terminate this bad contract, the customer support acts as another salesperson, trying to get you, after clearly explaining how it was bimonthly and their product does not work! After that, she proceeds to tell me about the $200 balance to close out! total rip-off, read those contracts and turn away this company at first sight! read more

I will tell you one thing..... I am VERY accustomed to the idiotic solicitors continuing to show show up to my door blatantly ignoring my NO SOLICITING SIGN and the added sign that states "do not knock or ring doorbell".... That is just the facts of life and the stupidity of today's society...... BUT when you show up to my door recording me at my private residence with not just one but TWO cameras hiding and recording me without my knowledge..... WE HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially when you have now invaded my privacy and I have minors in my household!!!!!!!!! Needless to say please do not do business with this disgusting business! read more

While Aptive appears to have resolved our problem with roaches the cost and very poor customer service means we will not use them again. Our first two appointments went well. Technician was scheduled "AM". Kind of vague but they arrived about 9am so our day was not wasted. Subsequent appointments went completely differently. Technicians schedule for morning appointments came late afternoon. Appointments were reschedule for later days without any notice. On-line scheduling tool often shows nothing available. I regret agreeing to a 1 year commitment at a cost almost twice that of other companies. read more

These people are liars. They showed up on my doorstep and normally I turn people like this away, but I had an ant problem. I got sucked right into their scam. They were only supposed to do four services, and that was it. So, when they tried to come for a fifth time, I declined the service. I went to cancel and they told me I had to pay $199. So, I moved my money out of the account they were drawing from, and it declined. They tried three times which they are allowed to do, and I also put a stop payment on them. From there, they have sent me many harassing e-mails and sent it to a collection agency. Good luck scumbags. You don't have my social security number, You are not getting a dime from me. You earned this review today through your repeated harassment! Suck on that like the maggots you are. read more

The company I was using (RIDD) was taken over by Aptive in my area of Brevard County. I never signed the contract they sent over after the switch. The company came out and sprayed one time, which was noted that he was unable to finish due to his backpack dying. Instead of calling them to finish the service, my husband and I decided we did not want to continue service with them. I emailed the customer support listed on my receipt of "service" on 5/28/25 stating I did not want to continue service and wanted my policy (unsigned) canceled. I stated to let me know if anything else was needed on my end. No response. Sent another email and left a voicemail trying to verify that the services were no longer being rendered and no payments would be drafted from my account. They call today (comes up as a toll free number, so naturally I didn't answer) and leave a voicemail. I return the call where the customer service rep says they haven't looked at emails yet today and can go ahead and cancel future arrives but my account was drafted last night so they can only offer to come out and spray. They refused to budge when I again forwarded my email correspondence with them from the 28th of the previous month, told them that I shouldn't be charged for a service that was never fully completed the first go around and I didn't want any other services. My new company had already come out and sprayed and taken care of things. I asked if there was someone else I could speak to and she said no, that all of the team members were supervisor levels. i was told that even though I had emailed, since no cancelation was completed or listed in my file, there was nothing she could do. I said so I'm being punished for a mistake on your end? She repeated no, that's not what she was saying... I said but you are by taking my money, not rendering complete services and refusing me a refund because YOUR staff didn't follow through. She canceled my policy and all of my billing information but refused to refund me for something that was drafted less than 24 hours ago, with no services rendered, and incomplete services rendered for the first treatment. I would give them zero stars if I could. Steer clear. Not worth the money or hassle. If you previously used RIDD, I'd be sure to make sure they remain your company or switch before they switch you to Aptive. read more

Dishonest and terrible service! Was initially told there was no contract and you only had to pay after each service was performed. The main issue I had was an ant problem in the yard. After 4 treatments the ants were still there and nothing else was treated like the inside of the house which was promised. After cancelling I was charged $199 fee for early cancellation. It's in the fine print. The salesmen knocked on my door. I did not reach out to them. Do not trust this company. read more

Do not engage these sales people. They are are extremely shady and will lie about your neighbors hiring them to make you feel more at ease. One of their reps came to my door today and tried to pitch me. When I told him I was happy with my current company, he began offering me all kinds of discounts. That's always a red flag for me considering you have to sign a contract. I declined and he continued adding more discounts. Do your research, this company has a lot of complaints nationwide. When companies have to solicit door to door, giant red flag goes up. I spoke to my neighbors and no one hired them so that makes him a liar as well. You've been warned! read more

We just had a visit from a 21 yr old young man at our front door. He kept ringing the doorbell and then started banging repeatedly on our door. He let his white Segway roll into our river rock landscaping and on top of a heather plant that I recently replaced. We have a doorbell cam so we got it all on video and I saved the clips. I was in the middle of eating my lunch which is another reason we have a NO SOLICITING sign just above our doorbell cam. I was going to use the doorbell app to tell him there's a NO SOLICITING sign right there above the doorbell and to leave our property but then saw his Segway in our landscaping. So I went to the door and called to him on the sidewalk in front of our garage. He persisted in trying to sell me bug spray. I let him know I didn't like him letting his Segway roll into my landscaping. So I went out to the street and called to him from my driveway to a driveway across the street. He would not answer me. I walked to the driveway and asked him for a card for my husband. He said he didn't have anything to give me. I asked him for the name of his company and he refused to tell me. I told him again we have a NO SOLICITING sign just above the doorbell cam. He didn't give a rat's ass. I asked him to show me some sort of ID for his company, or a permit, anything to prove his legitimacy. He said he didn't have to give me anything and told me to get a life. I started recording him as he went up the driveway to my neighbors' home where he once again told me to get a life. I have that on video. I called the sheriff and two deputies arrived quickly in our cul de sac. They talked to him. They acknowledged he's very aggressive. All they could do was tell him to not knock on doors with No Soliciting signs and to not come to our home again. Our neighbors aren't happy with him either. The deputies gave me the name of the company, so here I am. I tried calling the company. 3 options...Existing customer, Get a quote, Cancel service. Couldn't get through to anyone except the quote/sales people. I told him why I was calling and asked for a supervisor. The jerk transferred me right back to the memo options. I just filed a complaint with the Orlando BBB. A company's sales REPRESENTATIVES are the face of the company. Based on my experience with Aptive Environmental and their failed contact system, this company is not anyone we would ever want to do business with or doing work on our property. We will not ever call them for any kind of service. Scam site with reports on Aptive Environmental..... https://www.scamion.com/aptive-environmental-10#m188585 UPDATE Just found out Aptive Environmental has been in trouble before...... HARRISBURG -- Attorney General Josh Shapiro today announced that his office has reached a $101,430 settlement with Aptive Environmental, LLC, a Utah-based pest control company with regional offices in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Bugs that we have never seen before are coming in by the boatloads and dozens of them our setting up nests and camps in all of the rooms...

I understand trying to gain business is important when you're doing a commission-based job.... but being approached at 930 at night by someone on a hoverboard is absolutely ridiculous. A few weeks ago I answered the door to a gentleman with an APTIVE Shirt on and I told him I didn't want him to waste is time as I worked for another pest control company and I didn't need the service. He pushed the fact of still providing me information of "what they could do" Bi-Monthly and TWICE is much as what my company provides. RIDICULOUS. The Hoverboard woman told me "What if i can get you the service for $XX, I declined. She left and came back, spoke to my spouse and said "What if i can get your the service for free" How do you offer a service "for free" but require a card on file to sign up? On top of that, i WORK FOR A PEST CONTROL COMPANY! I wish i was making it all up, but it's just bad business. read more
