Yes, Aptive Environmental, a residential pest control company headquartered in Provo, Utah, has been involved in lawsuits, including consumer protection and sales practices litigation, which is common for door-to-door pest control companies. Aptive has faced lawsuits and regulatory actions related to allegations of deceptive sales tactics, automatic renewal of contracts, and difficulty canceling service. For example, there have been class action lawsuits filed by customers alleging that Aptive continued billing after cancellation requests and did not clearly disclose contract terms. State attorneys general in several states have investigated pest control companies including Aptive for door-to-door sales practices. Additionally, Aptive has faced lawsuits from competitors regarding non-compete and employee recruitment practices. In 2021, Aptive settled with the FTC and other agencies regarding sales practices. The company has also been subject to Better Business Bureau complaints about contract issues, though it has improved disclosure. Like Terminix, Orkin, and other large pest control firms, Aptive operates in a litigious industry where contract disputes arise. If you are customer concerned about lawsuit, check your state attorney general website and consult contract terms, as most disputes relate to cancellation and auto-renewal, not safety of products. Aptive maintains it complies with laws and has updated practices.
