I actually wondered this after a salesman knocked on my door one summer. I asked neighbors about Aptive, and most said it’s a regular pest control company, just very sales-heavy. I booked once out of curiosity, and the service itself was normal. What stood out was how fast their phone support handled my cancellation when I moved—they processed it instantly, no drama. The door-to-door approach can feel pushy, but that doesn’t make it a pyramid scheme. Always research, read reviews, and don’t be afraid to call and ask direct questions before signing up.
