For the segment, Aptive collaborated with homeowners Morrelle and Dominic Scicchitano of Pompano Beach, Florida, to address their pest problem, and help their family enjoy their home, inside and out.

The program goes on to illustrate how the couple’s peace of mind and home benefit from Aptive’s local expertise and national support footprint.

“We just couldn’t handle it ourselves anymore,” said the Scicchitanos. “We were trying to treat and get rid of them, clean the house, and do everything we could, but nothing compares to getting a professional to do the job.”

Aptive sent Trent Frazer, Senior Director of Quality Assurance, to service the Scicchitano’s home. Trent provided treatments for the growing cockroach, ant, and spider problem that was affecting their daily lives.

“The Designing Spaces segment highlights our expertise and demonstrates how pest control can contribute to a more comfortable and enjoyable home,” said Frazer. “At Aptive, we strive to match the customer’s needs with the best pest control solutions that are custom-suited to keep their home protected.”

Aptive is dedicated to prioritizing home protection through innovative pest management solutions, furthering their mission of every home enjoyed.

“My advice is that if you’re thinking about calling Aptive, do it,” said Dominic Scicchitano. “I have peace of mind after using Aptive because I know that my home is safe for my pets and children, and we can just enjoy everything without having to worry about pests.”
