Attorney General Kathy Jennings, through her Consumer Protection Unit, has obtained a settlement with door-to-door pest control company Aptive Environmental, LLC. The AG has filed the settlement in the Court of Chancery, requesting an order awarding the state $600,000 for Aptive’s multiple violations of Delaware’s consumer protection laws and directing that Aptive undertake specific actions to ensure that no violations of law will occur in the future.

“Aptive’s history of misleading customers with their sales practices and locking them into unwanted terms is equal parts shameful and unlawful. That behavior is exactly the type of lawlessness that the Consumer Protection Unit was created to stop, and it’s what we intend to do here.” – AG Jennings
