My wife specifically told your salesman that we have a toddler and a dog and that we could have no toxic products applied to our yard. You lied to her flat out. Per your invoice, you covered our yard in Bifen (Bifenthrin). Per Wikipedia the U.S. EPA classified bifenthrin as a Category C, possible human carcinogen (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogen). It is toxic to mammals. Bifenthrin can be absorbed by humans either by skin contact or ingestion. It is a persistent chemical and is not water soluble. Making it very difficult to wash off. This has made at our yard a no go zone for our dog and our child. You even put a sign in our yard specifically with a picture of a dog and a child saying "keep off lawn". I knew immediately when I got home from work something was wrong as my saddled feet started to burn. Bifenthrin has a half-life in the soil of up to eight months. Meaning we could be exposed to this for years. How greedy must your company be to put children and pets in danger for a few dollars. Then again except for obvious shills for your company nobody has anything nice to say.

A tree Aptive killed.
Mark M.

Been an Aptive customer for 2 years now and that's probably 23 months too long. Their services are sub standard and I couldn't agree more with some of the comments about service guys sitting in their vehicle and driving away. They're supposed to remove cobwebs, but they seem to miss them, all the time, even on return visits. On the last visit they killed this tree......their chemicals they say are safe for vegetation, and while non of the other plants are damaged, this tree was quite healthy until their last visit, a few days later it looked like this. When I called them they pretty much called me a liar and that they couldn't have done this. Such carelessness and poor service shouldn't be allowed to continue. Would g ive negative stars if I could. Avoid this company. If Aptive is the only company you can get make sure you baby sit them when they arrive.

This company sends people to ring doorbells AND knock on doors after bedtime. Inexcusable.

He was super polite and asked if there were any particular areas that needed attention and then he followed up afterwards to see if I had any questions.

Good, first visit, shall wait for the second one to see the progress, so far ok, will decide soonread more

We used Orkin Indianapolis (3932 Pendleton Way, Indianapolis, IN) for a mice issue and were shocked…read moreby the sales approach after the inspection. After documenting relatively standard mouse activity in areas like the kitchen, laundry room, fireplace, and garage, Orkin then presented us with a $21,000 "full attic restoration" proposal that included nearly $9,000 to remove insulation, another $9,000 to reinstall insulation, and over $3,000 for ridge vent protection. What bothered us most was how quickly the conversation shifted from solving the rodent problem to selling an extremely expensive attic package. The proposal leaned heavily on fear-based language about contamination, bacteria, and long-term damage, but there was very little actual evidence provided to justify a complete attic overhaul at that price. The original service report mainly referenced mouse droppings, bait stations, and recommendations to seal gaps around the home -- not catastrophic damage requiring a $21,000 renovation package. We expected a straightforward pest control inspection focused on identifying entry points, sealing the home, and addressing the mice problem. Instead, it felt more like a high-pressure home restoration sales pitch with financing options immediately offered. Before signing anything with Orkin Indianapolis, I strongly recommend getting multiple opinions from local exterminators and attic specialists. Based on our experience, there are likely far more transparent and reasonably priced solutions available.

Critter Removal Indianapolis - Team ready for remediation

Critter Removal Indianapolis

A few months ago, I walked into my upstairs storage closet and discovered insulation scattered all…read moreover the floor. As I looked closer, I found walnuts. That's when I knew immediately the squirrels had made their way into the attic. They had taken up residence in my detached garage the previous summer and were humanely ushered out, so I suppose they were just looking for a new home! As a devoted animal lover and supporter, it was very important to me to find a company that would address the issue humanely and not harm the animals. That's when I found Critter Removal Indianapolis. From my very first contact, they were professional, personable, and extremely thorough in explaining their services and pricing. I immediately hired them and I can honestly say they have to be one of the best in the city. Throughout the entire process, they quietly monitored the situation and kept me updated in a timely and reassuring manner. Their approach is thoughtful and humane, which meant everything to me. Upon completion, they honored my request to text me when the work was done and to let me know the invoice had been emailed (I get so much spam and didn't want to miss it!). That level of attentiveness says so much about their customer care. The technicians were professional and respectful, and the home office communication was absolutely spot-on. I truly hope you never have attic critters but if you do, Critter Removal Indianapolis is the company to call. Humane, professional, and exceptional service from start to finish.

I had a mouse issue at my residence. Critter Removal came late last year (2025) and placed outdoor…read morebait boxes. This spring when I checked the boxes they were 100% empty (4 of them). I removed the empty boxes and placed store-bought bait boxes to continue treatment for mice. A few weeks later, the Tech shows up to do "quarterly service" for the boxes. I show him the empty boxes which he says he will re-bait and place back around the house. The next day, I look in the boxes and they are 100% empty. If you're using this company, check that you're actually getting what is promised. I wasn't.
