“I noticed small pellets collecting in our master bedroom closet and didn't know what they were. David identified it immediately as drywood frass from a colony in the attic directly above. He inspected the full attic and found the damage was confined to one rafter section. Spot treatment was the right call and it was done in a single visit without us having to leave the house.”
Drywood Termite Treatment — Cypress, TX
Drywood Termite Treatment in Cypress, TX
Drywood termites don't need soil contact — they infest wood directly through exposed surfaces, joints, and cracks in fascia boards, window frames, attic framing, and exterior structural members. In Cypress's newer master-planned community homes, drywood activity often begins in attic spaces where ventilation gaps and post-construction roof work have exposed raw lumber. Resolve provides targeted spot treatment for drywood infestations throughout Cypress.

Drywood Termite Treatment Services for Cypress Homes
Targeted and whole-structure treatment options for drywood colonies at every infestation scope.
Spot Injection Treatment
For contained drywood colonies in accessible wood members — single window frames, door casings, fascia sections, or individual rafter members — targeted spot injection eliminates the colony without requiring the household to vacate.
Attic Framing Inspection
Most Cypress drywood infestations start in the attic — particularly in homes where roof repairs, ridge cap replacement, or ventilation modifications have exposed raw lumber. David inspects accessible attic space during every drywood assessment.
Fascia and Soffit Assessment
Fascia boards and soffit areas on Cypress homes are common drywood entry points — particularly at joints, nail holes, and paint-cracked sections. David inspects the full roofline perimeter during drywood assessments.
Window and Door Frame Treatment
Wood window and door frames are a primary drywood termite target in Cypress. Frass pellets near windowsills are often the first sign. David identifies and treats active colonies in frames before they spread to adjacent framing members.
Post-Treatment Inspection
A follow-up inspection at 30 to 60 days confirms the drywood colony has been fully eliminated, checks for any new infestation activity, and produces documentation suitable for real estate and lender use.
How Drywood Termite Treatment Works in Cypress
Assessment first, then the right treatment — no default recommendations.
- 1
David inspects the attic, fascia, exterior wood, and any reported frass accumulation areas. He identifies the drywood species, maps the extent of the infestation, and determines whether the activity is contained to accessible wood or has spread through structural framing systems.
- 2
Based on what was found, David recommends spot injection treatment scoped to the infestation identified. He explains the reasoning, the process, and what to expect before any work begins.
- 3
Spot injection is performed in a single visit with no household vacating required. David handles every step personally.

Post-treatment inspection confirms colony elimination. Written documentation is provided for your records, real estate transactions, or lender requirements. Annual re-inspection available to monitor for new drywood activity.
Case Study
Cypress: Drywood Colony in Window Frames Identified During Option Period
The Problem
A buyer purchasing a home in Cypress Creek Lakes noticed frass pellets collecting on the interior window sills of three second-floor rooms during the option period. A specialist was requested before the option period expired. Inspection found active drywood termite colonies in the window frame casings of all three rooms, with secondary evidence in the adjacent door casing of one room.
Our Solution
David assessed the infestation scope and determined that all active colonies were confined to the casing assemblies — no spread into the adjacent wall framing was detected. Spot injection treatment was performed at all four identified locations in a single visit while the buyers were at the property. No vacating was required. Written treatment documentation was prepared the same day.
The Outcome
The buyer's lender accepted the treatment documentation and the transaction proceeded. A 30-day post-treatment inspection found no new frass accumulation at any of the four treated locations. The buyers enrolled in a one-time 12-month re-inspection to confirm the treatment had held — which it had.
Drywood Termite FAQs for Cypress, TX
What are the signs of drywood termites in a Cypress home?
The most common sign is frass — small, pellet-like droppings that accumulate on windowsills, counters, or the floor beneath infested wood. Drywood termites don't produce mud tubes. Frass accumulation in specific spots, particularly near windows or below attic access points, is the primary indicator of a drywood colony.
Why do Cypress homes get drywood termites even though the soil is the main termite risk?
Drywood termites fly in during swarm season and infest exposed wood directly — no soil contact needed. Roof repairs that expose raw lumber, ventilation gaps, and unpainted or deteriorated wood surfaces on Cypress homes all create entry opportunities. New construction can be as vulnerable as older homes if the wood is exposed during or after construction.
How long does spot treatment take for a Cypress home?
Most spot injection treatments are completed in a single visit lasting 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number of treatment locations. No vacating is required.
Can drywood termites come back after treatment in Cypress?
A successfully treated colony is eliminated. However, new drywood colonies can establish in previously infested or newly exposed wood if conditions allow — particularly if ventilation gaps or exposed wood surfaces remain after treatment. A follow-up inspection and sealing any identified entry points reduces re-infestation risk significantly.
