Need mower a little lower
Need mower a little lower. The edging is perfect. Mow backyard a little shorter.

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the edging and overall service.
At Aptive, our goal is to make sure every detail is handled in a way that matches your expectations, so we appreciate you sharing your preference on the mowing height. That said, it looks like this review may have been left for the wrong company, as Aptive provides pest control services rather than lawn mowing.

Poor communication rip off
Poor communication. Every month they tried to squeeze in more trips so they could charge me more. They never could get the schedule right it was always off. I only had certain days when I could have them come out and they rarely got it right when I canceled. They charged me an extra 250 bucks places a rip off.

Hi Randy,
Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re sorry to hear about the frustration you experienced with scheduling and billing, that’s not the level of clarity or consistency we want for any Aptive customer.
At Aptive, we aim for every visit and charge to be clearly communicated and fully handled without confusion. What you described falls short of that standard, especially around your availability and scheduling. Please reach out to socialmedia@goaptive.com directly so we can review your account in detail and work toward a proper resolution.

***Will never use this service again***
Out of the whole year Ive had this service, I've only had 3 really good techs. I had one that was doing my front yard. He went to my backyard, looked over the fence, and was walking away until I caught him. I said you're not going to do the backyard? Then I watched him spray the yard. They had charged my account, and my bank reversed the charge because they did not provide the service, as I sent an email to the bank showing the text that I texted the tech not to come. I hated doing business with this company and will never do so again.

Thank you for sharing this with us, Stephanie. It’s disappointing to hear that you felt the quality of service was inconsistent and that some treatments did not meet your expectations.

Long read but buyer beware
Long read but buyer beware!
First off we live in Florida where bugs, ants, mosquitos and more swamp-land critters live and thrive so pest control down here is a must!
We were promised they would take care of the ants, small critters, mosquitos, and other bugs but to "give it time to work". They placed mosquito pods "up" (I say up, but really they just put them on the ground in the back yard and didnt bother hanging them up like they said they were going to do) and never came back out to re-service those like we were told they would do...
Well after a year and 10 months we have more ants than ever on my property, mosquitos are still VERY prevalent, as well as all the other bugs and critters.
After complaining to them about the massive amounts of mosquitos and red anys on the property, they said they will come out and do extra sprays on the lawn to help take care of the problem....
Well they NEVER showed up to those appointments, nor did they show up to the regular scheduled appointments that we are PAYING FOR! They never called to apologize or reschedule.... Just no call, no show...
After calling again they told me that if we do end up canceling our service, due to their contract, we would be paying around $500 cancelation fee!
Save your money, save your time, save your frustrations and go with another, better company that will actually show up and do as promised.

It’s really disheartening to hear how frustrating this experience has been, especially after reaching out about continued mosquito, ant, and general pest activity and expecting follow-up treatments to take place.
We’d like the opportunity to review your account details, including the service history, appointment concerns, mosquito stations, and service agreement terms. Please email socialmedia@goaptive.com with your service address and any additional details you’d like us to look into. We are here to help in any way we can!

As usual a business ruins everything for their employees and customers.
The service technicians and customer service representatives are great! The company itself is shit! Their policies and broken systems make their employees jobs and lives harder than they need to be on a daily basis. They want to force their customers into all day service windows from 8am until 8pm if they make an appointment. They send out surveys for treatments and tie the specific treatment for a day and that technician’s performance into whether the customer will renew their contract with the company which is wrong. I can go on and on.

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us, Brent. We’re glad to hear you’ve had positive interactions with both the service professionals and customer service team, but we’re sorry to hear your overall experience has been frustrating and that aspects of scheduling and internal processes haven’t felt customer-friendly.
We understand how important it is for appointment windows to feel reasonable and for feedback processes to feel fair and not overly tied to individual visits in a way that creates pressure. We also hear your broader concerns about how these systems impact both customers and service professionals.

It took over 2 weeks and 4 scheduled appointments (that were canceled or marked completed by the company) for the company to come out regarding a termite issue. TERMITES. I had to call each time to find out why the tech didn't show up, not the company calling me! Also, I have been paying for termites coverage for over a year, they said they have one person that was being trained during my request....so what have I been paying for?

Reply from Aptive Pest Control - Tampa
Hi there,
I can understand why this would be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’re dealing with something as serious as termites. Having multiple appointments changed or marked incorrectly, and then needing to call in for updates instead of being proactively contacted, is not the experience we want you to have with Aptive.
Termite concerns require clear communication, consistency, and urgency, and I hear your concern about the delay and confusion around coverage and staffing. I’d like to take a closer look at your account, the service history, and what happened with those appointments so we can understand exactly where things went wrong and make sure it’s properly addressed.
If you’re open to it, please reach out to socialmedia@goaptive.com with your service address so we can review everything in detail and work toward getting this fully handled the right way for you.
At Aptive, situations like this should always feel clearly communicated and handled with urgency, especially when it involves termites, and I’d appreciate the chance to help make that right.

This time treatment is not satisfied
This time the gentleman who came for the treatment didn’t clean the web spider in the lanai from inside and didn’t enter the lanai to spray it. I was in the house and didn’t realise that he came at all.

Reply from Aptive Pest Control - Tampa
Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to share this, I’m really sorry this visit felt incomplete. If the lanai wasn’t serviced as expected and there wasn’t any clear indication the service professional had been there, I can understand why that would be disappointing.
At Aptive, part of our commitment is making sure every area included in the service is properly treated and that you feel confident the job was fully handled. What you described doesn’t reflect that standard, and we want to take a closer look.
If you’re open to it, please reach out to us at socialmedia@goaptive.com with your service address so we can review your account and follow up on this specific service. We’d like the chance to correct this and make sure your next visit is handled more thoroughly and clearly.
