Nice folks but follow up a concern
The folks from Aptive have all been very nice; however, I was told someone would be out to fix some canisters that my mower ripped (sorry about that). Not sure if this is being scheduled as I haven't heard back since last week.

We will not use them again
They never call before coming like I asked them too. They say they'll call you back but never do. The tech never had a clue what he's supposed to be doing when he comes to the house. My mom is 90 and was so stressed out about all of this.

I would give zero stars if possible
I would give zero stars if possible. It has been a horrible experience. Response to emails is terrible. Customer service wait times is ridiculous 45 minutes to talk to someone. Spoke to 4 different supervisors trying to get the problem solved. Technician response was “pick it up yourself” tried to cancel contract said they would charge me fee to cancel even though they have not provided service promised. Please stay away from this company. Use ANYONE else

Hi Stacy,
We’re truly sorry to hear how disappointing your experience with Aptive has been. The long wait times, lack of responsiveness, and especially the dismissive service professional comment are completely unacceptable and not reflective of the service we’re committed to providing. You’ve clearly made every effort to get the issue resolved, and we regret that you've had to speak with multiple supervisors without getting the support you deserve.
We want to make this right. Please email us at socialmedia@goaptive.com with your service address so we can immediately review your account, understand what went wrong, and work toward a resolution that reflects our commitment to integrity and customer care. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to try to rebuild your trust.

Ants Galore!!!
I signed a contract with Aptive for two years and they never resolved my ant problem! They did cut down on the other creepy crawlies significantly. I chose not to renew as the ants are still taking up residence and I am now naming them as they are clearly my pets at this point…Currently looking for ittty bitty collars.

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear we helped reduce other pests, but understand how frustrating it is that the ants are still hanging around — your “itty bitty collars” comment made us smile, though!
At Aptive, we aim to fully resolve pest issues, and we’re sorry we didn’t meet that mark with your ants. If you’d like, we’d be happy to review your account and see if there’s anything more we can do.
Thanks for choosing Aptive and being part of our neighborhood. We hope you find a comfortable solution soon!

Issue #1
Issue #1 - They only EMAIL you one (1) day before you have been placed on their schedule for service!
Issue #2 - They do not make sure that their technicians follow "special" instructions requested by the customer. This does not apply to all of their technicians, but far too many of them.
Issue #3- It appears that they have a very high employee turnover, because the BEST, most professional and efficient technicians do not seem to continue working there very long.

I always receive great service from Aptive
I always receive great service from Aptive. My provider was Jerome S. He provided excellent service (10/10). He made me aware of his arrival time beforehand, checked to see if there were any specific issues. Took pictures of all the areas treated and reminded me to secure the gate and the garage after the service was completed. Very polite and respectful.
