Lauren Cravenre: Cingo
★★☆☆☆10y ago

Yes they are reasonably priced, however, the service was horrible. Had to call differnet 3 times to schedule a cl100 for our house. The week before we close I finally call again and complain about no hearing back and then they called within 20 minutes to schedule everything. After hoping things would get better. The day comes for the inspection and 10 comes and goes and he never shows. Finally called about 1030 and asks what time the appointment was for! After telling him I had plans at 12 to pl

Lauren, thank you for reaching out to us. One of our core values is to make pest control EASY. Your experience with Allgood definitely doesn't sound that way, and we call this an "Easy Fail."

I have had my service with Vinx for 6 years now and I wouldnt consider changing to another company. I have never been happier with my pest control service. The lovely Palmettobug has taken up residence elsewhere. I dont seem to have the mole cricket or fire ant problems I have had in the past. My yard loves that !. The service continues to consistently deliver the desired result. Anthony one of heir technicians is knowledgeable, polite, and reliable. It is safe for my Doodle and effective.

Cassie Kinserre: ProCore Pest Control
★★★★★1mo ago

My parents had a bed bug infestation after a stay at a local nursing facility and had had a national company treat their house with no change after several treatments. By the time we got in touch with ProCore it was a massive infestation and we couldn’t believe the difference in the results. After heat treatment there was a huge drop in the number we saw. They responded to our calls for more treatment within 24 hours and treated with spray. Within three total treatments they were gone! Believe

As a realtor I have worked with many pest control companies in and around Charleston. I have been using Pro core as my preferred pest control vendor for a while now and couldn't be happier with their service. They're always punctual, courteous and they are THE MOST thorough I have ever worked with. What really sets them apart is the professionalism and consistency from their team. Gene, Bridget and Aaron are all amazing and make the normally pesky deal of pest control, fun! I have used them for

Anthony Darrer

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Lookout Pest Control. What they advertise and what you actually get are two completely different things. They claim to offer “unlimited service,” but that only applies to very specific situations. There are plenty of restrictions buried in the fine print of the contract that they don’t clearly explain upfront. Don’t take their word for it—you really have to read every detail yourself or you’ll end up surprised. When I tried to address the issue,

We have had HAWX services done for over a year. From the salesman upon first contact with HAWX and every technician that has come to our home every quarter, the service and communication has been great including customer service (though there is nobody to speak to in any local office nationwide). I would say that for a monthly charge of 49.99 may be a bit costly for a quarterly visit. That said, they will come out for no charge if you call and advise there are still issues after services are don

This location was called out about a month ago to adress a termite situation. I was not home when the young man arrived. 1) He did not have a latter to address the situation properly. So he was provided with a latter. 2) Second appointment to check bait trap he was 1 hour late no latter again. This time I was home I told him the ladder that he used the first time was an outside latter that was very dirty, he said I will make a call to the shop to see if he could find a latter. 3)The young man

If I could rate them a zero, that is what I would do. I signed a yearly contract in September 2017 for four treatments, which were to be done quarterly. My grandmother passed away and I recently moved back home, about 175 miles away.

If they had zero stars, I would choose zero Stars. I used their service for over 2 years and they could never figure out how to kill the weeds and or to help my grass grow. I canceled that contract and hired a different person, and he had my weeds gone on his first application. He also took a soil sample and found out the soil had zero nutrients that is why my grass was not growing and the weeds were thriving.

I live about a hundred yards from a creek in Mount Pleasant and every spring my backyard becomes unbearable to enjoy because of mosquitos and noseeums. We found GreenLeaf Pest Solutions because they’re a locally owned company and we have been super pleased with their services. Finally able to enjoy the backyard without getting eaten alive - they also took care of a small rodent issue we were having as well. Their prices are super affordable, can’t recommend these guys enough!
