Awesomely professional, above & beyond what we discussed ! Great preparation before performing the actual Termidor Termite treatment.. Great attention to details and rechecking them to ensure professional due diligence completion. Having the owner on-site for over two hours was the icing on the cake...and I love icing!!! All service companys should operate like this in their client relationships!!!
Description of Work: I needed a company to treat my home for termite repulsion via ground treatment with Termidor. Ledford's was the ONLY contractor out of three contacted who WANTED to do the job. They were highly professional, punctual, friendly and the Owner arrived on-site and stayed for two hours while the work was being performed and until the job was completed. Love these guys!! Great service above & beyond what I asked for. They have my business until I am recycled myself. Steven Sutherland 7103 Stall Road North Charleston, SC 29406

I have found 3x now that whatever Ledford's uses does not seem as effective as other companies, we have had to have them come back out repeatedly for continued live roaches. They are always kind, but not the best repellent we have had with other companies.

We did have an issue with some tiny ants and although he sprayed for that, we did have them back in about a week, but, you know, I guess it all depends if you leave stuff out, it is bound to happen.

Called this AM 11/17/15, mentioned to the person who answered the phone my intentions. Her reply, "we don't work Saturdays" . I then mentioned about a year ago a tech was at my home on a Saturday for the same reason, extremely friendly, said that Ledford's wants to earn my business and being here on a Saturday was not a concern, hence why they were the very first company to call now that I'm financially ready to commit to a long term agreement. I then asked her, you were at my home a year ago on a Saturday and are you not interested in my business, response, "hold on", so with that I hung up, not the way I want to start a long term Realtionship with.
Description of Work: Wanted to set up tech visit for termite inspection, long term contract for this Saturday.

Response from Ledford's Termite & Pest Control Inc
[Member name removed], It is true that we normally do not work on Saturdays this time of the year. We do work on Saturdays in the spring and summer when we are extremely busy. We were at your home last year in June which is at the height of our busy season, and yes we do work on most Saturdays during our busy time. When the secretary that you spoke with told you that we don't work on Saturdays during this time of the year and she sensed that you were obviously upset with that, she asked you to hold so that she could find out if we had someone that would be able to come in to do your inspection. When she relayed this information to me, I then picked up the phone to see what we could work out with you, but you had already hung up. I'm sorry that I was unable to speak with you that day, however, we would have been glad to see what could have been arranged. The secretary that you spoke with did not have the authority to set up a Saturday inspection at this time of the year on her own without checking with management first. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you and/or a bad impression of our company.

They've been very good and I've been pleased with their service. They come by once a year and do a pretty thorough check and provide me with a certificate. They're polite, they give me a call and arrange the time, and they're usually here at the time that they say they're going to be here.

Apparently, I din't have a bond, so they will not repair the damage, only kill the termites. I presume that they have. Read your contract carefully.

We called Ledford's at 4:00 o'clock pm. Mr. Ledford came to our home the next morning at 9:30am and performed the inspection. Although he was scheduled to go to meetings that day, he sent his crew under his son's direction that same day to treat the house. He also came back to personally make sure everything was done right. These folks are just wonderful people who make their customers feel that they really care about the quality of the work they perform. I will use them for annual inspection and treatments from now on.

I phoned the office to get their price on treating my home for pest control. I told her that I was having problems especially with fleas. She quoted me $90 for the treatment. Kyle, who was extremely professional, sprayed my home. He had told me that my pets and myself should leave my home for approximately 3 hrs. I told him that the office had not explained that to me but we would leave. We got back about 3 1/2 hrs later and every thing was fine. I noticed yesterday that we had palmetto bugs. I just called the office to tell them that I am still having a pest problem. After looking in their records, they told me that I did not have a complete pest control. And if I wanted him to come back out, it would be another $50. I told her that when I called to order the service I wanted the pest-control and I was also having a major problem with fleas. At this point, she told me that it was $50 for him to come back out. I told her no thank you. I would never use Ledfords again.

Response from Ledford's Termite & Pest Control Inc
We are very sorry for the misunderstanding as far as what service was done and the charge for that service. The office understood that you wanted a flea service only and that was what you were charged for and what the technician treated for. The application of pesticides for a flea service and a general pest control service is entirely different and an entirely different pesticide or pesticides are used for a general pest control service. Had we done a general pest control service and a flea service, the charge would have been $140.00 for both services based on the square footage of your home. The additional $50.00 charge would be to come out and apply the necessary pest control pesticides in the appropriate application method for a general pest control service. Once again, we apologize for any miscommunication.

When my existing pest control company wanted to charge me a and quot;re-establishmentand quot; fee after 5 years, I looked around. I found Ledford and could not be happier. Very professional, very thorough, and exactly according to what they tell you they would do. I witnessed what they did and they did an excellent job.

The experience was very good. There was one gentleman that they sent over, and I had asked for the green pest control and he sort of talked me out of it. I called the company and they fixed it by sending someone else who redid the job. I was satisfied.

They all come and go quickly. They remind me about my termites by keeping me up to date and things like that. They charge $70 quarterly. For termites, it is about $250 a year. They have an infinite program. If I refer people, they give me a discount. Overall, I have had a wonderful experience with them. Their price hasn't gone up inordinately high over many years. They are certainly easily accessible. I had ants one time, and they came right out and things like that. They don't put me off.

.. See above.... great... how do you place a price on peace of mind when one of your major investments is at stake. We know the rest of the job will be done as soon as an assessment is done and that it will be done right!
Description of Work: We have a stucco (real stucco..not the newer sprayed styrofoam method) office building that is approximately 3000 square feet. When the building was constructed in 1984, the site was treated with the termite controlling product at that time.(chlordane). From what we were told by the contractor, we would never have to worry about termites. Well, that may be true if the structure of the building is never breached by a termite.. but there are vents, cracks, etc. that open the permimeter to infestation and we are learning that whatever the construction.... get an opinion from a good exterminator on Day ONE of occupancy. And continue to have the building checked regularly regardless of claims by the contractor. About six months ago I noticed that a piece of window framing looked "wavy" in a small area.. about six inches of a four foot run of moulding. At the time I thought it seemed odd that the manufacturer would install it when it was so poorly sanded compared to the rest of the moulding. This past Thursday it was noticed that the entire piece of moulding was "wavy".. and spongy. Panic. We called Ledford's immediately and Charlie Ledford came by to check it out that afternoon. Definitely termite destruction. There was no other indication that anything was wrong. Tearing out the surrounding wood around the window, we found that all the wood in the immediate area was spongy and paper-like. It was incredible. Ledford's treated the immediate area and will be treating the entire building as a precaution. He said he would leave it up to us as to treating the entire structure... but we will definitely be doing whatever he suggests to protect our investment in this building. Everyone we know (we've been in the Charleston area since 1967) uses Ledford's and knows that for at least two generations, they are the folks you can trust to do it right and reasonably. The perimeter of the building will be trenched and treated (estimate around $1000) and attic spaces, etc. will be treated as per needed. Final inspection will dictate cost but we know it will be fair and reasonable. Simply no need to ever "shop around" when something as important as your home or other buildings are involved!
