The box elder and Asian beatles were controlled. Very few outside and non in the house after most recent treatment.
The mice continue to be a problem. They build nests in cars, 4 Wheelers, and hot tubs. There are 5 bait stations outside and I only received 4 pictures of rebaiting.

After only two treatments we canceled our Aptive Pest Control service, and I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere.
A door-to-door sales representative knocked and offered a full service for $100. It sounded like good value based on what he described was included. On the first visit, the technician spent his time dealing with a wasp nest and then said he had run out of time to do anything else. I was relieved the nest was gone, but my wife immediately noted that nothing else had been treated — a red flag we should have taken more seriously. I hoped the next visit would be more complete.
A few days after the second treatment, our house was overrun with boxelder bugs and stink bugs. Every time we opened a door they flew inside or at us and the kids. It was extremely frustrating to have this level of activity so soon after they had just been there.
When I called to cancel, the representative asked why and, after I explained the situation, pushed hard to schedule another visit to “fix the problem.” I repeatedly said I wanted to cancel and was done with the service. Only then was I told there was a $199 cancellation fee unless I stayed with them for 24 months. I was never informed of any cancellation fee during the sales process. Being charged to exit a service that did not deliver on what was promised feels like a very effective way of locking customers in.

I had a very bad experience with Aptive Pest Control. They sent me a bill for services that were never provided. Nobody came to my home to perform the service, yet they are still asking me to pay. I never signed a contract agreeing to their services.
I believe this billing is unfair and unacceptable. A company should not charge customers for services they never received or bill them without a valid agreement. I am very disappointed with how this situation has been handled.
I strongly recommend that anyone considering this company carefully review all paperwork and keep records of any communication. I will not pay for services that were never performed and that I never agreed to purchase. I want this billing issue resolved and the charges removed.

Absolutely terrible experience. We have had other pest control companies in the past with no issues. We switched to Aptive due to a nice salesperson and price. We have bugs covering our east side of the house for the first time ever, and bugs coming into the house. We’ve had employees stop over multiple times to say they cannot do anything and it’s just fall bugs to deal with. Absolutely unacceptable when that should be included in the plan we signed up for. We are having to hire additional companies to take care of the pests that Aptive cannot seem to assist with as advertised. Very disappointed.

I was already unhappy with the actual pest-control results, especially after my dog ended up getting Lyme disease while I was paying for their services. I understand no pest-control company can guarantee that a dog will never get a tick, but combined with everything else, I had completely lost confidence in the service.
The billing situation is what really pushed me over the edge. Aptive repeatedly sent me notices saying I owed $69, while their own representatives repeatedly confirmed my balance was $0 and told me the notices were an error and not to worry about them. Then I received a notice threatening to automatically send the balance to collections.
I have now spent an absurd amount of time trying to make sure THEIR error doesn’t potentially affect MY credit. Customer service sends me to their third-party collections company. The collections company confirms I owe $0 and sends me back to Aptive. Aptive sends me somewhere else, and eventually I end up right back at customer service. Everyone agrees I owe $0, yet nobody will take responsibility for confirming that the erroneous collection issue itself has actually been corrected.
Then when I finally terminated my service, they tried charging me another $199 despite previously agreeing in writing to waive it. After even more emails, they finally honored the waiver.
This is beyond ridiculous. If you’re going to threaten someone’s credit with collections, you better have your billing records straight and be able to correct your own mistakes. A customer should not have to spend hours being bounced between departments and third-party companies trying to protect themselves from a debt the company admits they don’t even owe.
Horrible communication, terrible customer service, disappointing results, and a billing system I have absolutely no confidence in. I’m beyond fed up and extremely relieved to be done with this company. I would never use Aptive again.

Why am I still seeing pests after my first treatment?
If you are seeing pests right after your treatment, odds are you are witnessing them flee your property, which typically means the treatment is effective. If after a week you are still seeing pests, give us a call and our service professional will gladly return to treat your home at no additional cost.
How much does professional pest control cost?
Our professional pest control plans start as low as $49 to $55 per month for our Basic plan, depending on your location. We offer three primary tiers—Basic, Pro, and Premium—designed to fit different levels of protection needs and budgets.
Do you offer same-day pest control services?
Yes, depending on current technician availability. If you call before noon, we can often provide same-day service for urgent pest issues.
How soon can a technician come out for an emergency?
We strive for 24 to 48-hour response times. For emergencies like a yellow jacket nest or indoor roach sightings, we prioritize your call in our daily schedule.
Do you spray both the inside and outside of the house?
Yes, standard service covers both. We focus on the exterior to stop pests at the source and treat the interior (baseboards/under sinks) to eliminate any that have already entered.
What areas are included in a "perimeter" treatment?
A perimeter treatment covers 3 feet up the foundation and 3 feet out into the yard. We also treat windowsills, door frames, and eaves.
How do I get rid of an ant infestation in my kitchen?
To stop ants, we use "transferable" baits. Workers carry the bait back to the queen, killing the entire colony rather than just the ants you see on the counter.
What is the best treatment for German cockroaches?
German roaches require a combination of baiting, insect growth regulators (IGRs), and sanitation. They are resilient, so 2–3 follow-up visits are often required for total elimination.
Is pest control safe for children and infants?
Yes, we prioritize family-safe applications. By focusing on the exterior and using low-toxicity indoor treatments, we minimize exposure. We recommend keeping children out of treated areas for 30–60 minutes until dry.
What is your "Pest-Free Guarantee"?
Our guarantee means if the pests return between scheduled visits, we return for free. We stay until the problem is solved.
Do you offer free re-treatments?
Yes, all of our recurring plans include unlimited free re-treatments for covered pests.
Why am I still seeing bugs after my first service?
This is the "flush out" period. The treatment is driving pests out of their hiding spots. They will die off shortly after coming into contact with the product.
Why is the pest problem getting worse?
This usually happens with ants and roaches as they are attracted to our baits. This "surge" is a sign that the colony is actively feeding on the treatment.
How can I tell if a treatment was successful?
Success is measured by a steady decrease in sightings and finding dead insects rather than live ones.
Do you guarantee 100% elimination?
We guarantee to control and manage populations to the point where they do not infest your living space. No one can stop every single bug from ever entering, but we ensure they don't stay.
