We moved to Mount Pleasant almost a year ago and have been very pleased with the service and responsiveness we’ve received from Lightning Termite & Pest in that time. April (in the office) has always been responsive and courteous, and each technician we’ve met has been punctual, efficient, patient and friendly. We are happy to be working with them.

Provider response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate your business.

The technician arrived and explained the process before treatment began. He did an internal walk thru of our home for potential issues and saw nothing of concern. He then proceeded to treat the outside of the house and gave us an update before leaving. The gentleman was pleasant, informative and professional. I am beyond pleased with Lighting Termite and can confidently recommend them for the exceptional service they provide.

Provider response

Thank you so much for the kind review, Lynn! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience and that our technician took the time to thoroughly explain the process and keep you informed. We truly appreciate your trust in Lighting Termite and your recommendation. It means a lot to our team!

As a Yankee transplant I had no idea what a termite bond was...….These folks were great as far as walking me through the process, answering questions, showing up on time (what a concept) and their professionalism. 12 years now, and not one issue!

Provider response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re happy we could make the termite bond process easy and earn your trust. It means a lot to have taken care of your home for the past 12 years — we truly appreciate you!

This the first company I’ve dealt with that I have to call them each time to do their job. Every other company comes out on a monthly visit to spray for insects. So I don’t feel I get the service that I pay for

Provider response

I do apologize that you feel we are not doing our job. You currently have yearly pest control service. This is using integrated pest management limiting chemicals in your home. If you would like to change to a monthly or quarterly service please let me know or we will maintain the as needed basis.<br><br><br>

Technician John showed up smelling like weed so did not use. Was not impressed. Looked elsewhere. I did get a reply that they drug test. This is very untrue I personally witnessed employee smoking weed and again I would highly recommend not to associate with this company. Very unfriendly staff. They are also associated with tail race storage in moncks corner which is overpriced and security lacking. Expect to have your things stolen.

Provider response

Please call me 843-569-0374

Would have given a higher number of stars, but the serviceman who came to our home in Mt. Pleasant did not wear a mask, as required in Mt. Pleasant. Not wearing a mask also conveys a lack of concern for the customer.

Provider response

I greatly apologize that the Technician did not wear a mask. I will address the lack of proper protection.

I was called to renew our service, the lady was very pleasant and helpful. She asked to schedule an appointment for 10am I said: do inspectors need to come inside to check? If so we have to re schedule so we can be home. She said they would call me back, but I was not able to get to the phone. Therefore, I left a message saying: “ if inspectors need to come inside we must te schedule, if inspections are only done outside then 10am would be fine” I did not hear hear back until I called myself, so I was told: “there was no visible damage on the outside” so I asked, isn’t it necessary to check the inside too? I asked but I never got an answer, (I checked google and it says it is important to check inside as well) the lady put me on hold and then said “ because you CHOSE to do the outside inspection on your voice message, if we came back you would have to pay again” which was not the case: I did not choose the outside inspection only, I asked twice and got no reply, just the invoice afterwards saying there was no visible damage on the outside... now if you can assure me, that there no termites in my property inside or outside based on the outside inspection then I’m fine with that. To which she said: “well the inspectors say there is no visible damage on the outside” Still not the answer we are looking for... It made me feel they were twisting my words to make me pay again. I did not like it. I hope we don’t have a situation with termite, and I mostly hope I don’t hear back from them saying; “well we could have checked the inside, but you were not home”.... Not pleasant ..

Provider response

I apologize for the misunderstanding. There is no charge for additional inspections for the termite contract. The contract is for one full year. If you would like the interior inspected please call to schedule. April

We inherited the termite bond with this company. They were inspecting the house for 16 years. When we opened the walls to remodel the kitchen, unbelievable termite damage was quite obvious. They acknowledged the damage, but their crooked insurance company ( somewhere in New Jersey) refused to pay for repairs. Just beware of dishonest and lousy people.

Provider response

I apologize that you feel this way. I would like to help in any way to change you opinion. Please contact April. Admin@lightning termite.com

I used them to inspect my house. They had no copies of my CL100 and said my address was not on file. After I sent a copy to them, saying I had a termite problem, they warranted nothing and offered even less. The young gal in the office was rude and spoke over me. Sheer disappointment.

Provider response

The Cl-100 is an evaluation of the property substructure for wood destroying insects. This is an inspection of what is present at the time of service (no warranty /good for 30 days). We responded to your suspicion of termite in less than 24 hours with a set appointment to evaluate your property. No one was present at the time of appointment. You later called upset that the problem was not taken care of. Per notations of conversation your concerns presented was termite suspected in a tree. Trees are not the substructure that was inspected six months ago. An arborist would need to be contacted in reference to trees. Suspicion of termites in substructure would warrant an inspection of the property and the offer of an inspection was again given at that time. I apologize that you felt the secretary was impolite in her communication of your concerns. If you have any concerns about the home that we can help with , please contact us.

Very disappointing. I have some extensive termite damage now that although I have a termite bond with Lightning Termite and Pest Control, and have paid on time and had them inspect my home as scheduled, they will not cover. Yes, there is some water damage from a window leak, but the inspector did an incomplete inspection some months ago and completely missed a termite tube coming up into the house. They felt no obligation by missing the tube -- the way the termites came into my home. The inspector simply said "Nobody's perfect." Plenty of companies out there - try another one! They admitted missing the termite tubes - the entire point of the annual inspection - and feel no obligation about the damage that incurred because of missing the termite tubes!

Provider response

We apologize for any misunderstanding and we are sorry that you are dissatisfied with our service.<br>The termite warranty does not protect against moisture or a secondary water source. Please refer to the termite bond provided.
