“I found mud tubes near the irrigation valve box along the back fence line and had two companies come out before calling David. The first two wanted to sell me a full-wrap bond. David inspected first, applied a Termidor barrier at the active zone, and came back at 90 days to confirm the colony was gone. No upsell, no bond — just a treatment that worked.”
Katy Termite Treatment
Termite Treatment in Katy, TX
Katy's large slab homes, drip-irrigated landscaping, and post-Harvey soil disturbance create conditions where standard termite treatment approaches may fall short. Resolve applies Termidor SC liquid barriers and Sentricon bait systems tailored to Katy's specific soil conditions, irrigation layouts, and slab construction — with follow-up inspection at 90 days to confirm the treatment is working.
- Termidor SC liquid barrier — the most effective available treatment for active subterranean infestations in Katy slab homes
- Sentricon bait system — ideal for Katy homes with heavy foundation landscaping that limits soil access
- Irrigation and moisture assessment included — treats the source conditions, not just the active infestation
- 90-day follow-up inspection included — confirms colony elimination before treatment is considered complete
Why Katy Homeowners Trust Resolve for Termite Treatment
The right treatment product matched to Katy's soil conditions — not the most expensive option.
- David selects treatment method based on inspection findings — not a one-size sales package applied regardless of infestation type
- Termidor SC is the industry's leading liquid termiticide — fast colony impact through transfer among foraging workers
- Sentricon bait provides long-term colony elimination without soil injection — preferred when Katy foundation landscaping limits access
- Moisture and irrigation assessment included — drip systems near the foundation are flagged and addressed as part of the treatment plan
- 90-day follow-up inspection included — David confirms treatment effectiveness before considering the job complete
- Satisfaction guarantee — if activity returns after treatment, Resolve returns at no additional charge
Katy Homeowners on Resolve's Termite Treatment
Termidor certified 90-day follow-up No contracts
“David treated our home after finding subterranean activity near the back foundation. He also pointed out that our drip irrigation emitters were running right at the slab edge — something none of the other pest companies had ever mentioned. We adjusted the irrigation, got the Termidor treatment, and the 90-day follow-up was clean.”
“We had Sentricon stations installed because our landscaping along the front foundation made soil injection difficult. David placed them at the right intervals and explained exactly how the bait system works. He checked bait uptake at 90 days and had clear documentation ready. This is what professional termite treatment should look like.”
Termite Treatment Options Resolve Uses in Katy
Two proven treatment approaches, matched to Katy's slab construction and landscape conditions.
Termidor SC Liquid Barrier
Termidor SC applied continuously in the soil at the foundation perimeter. Termites moving through the treated zone are exposed and transfer product to colony mates through normal contact and feeding behavior. The leading choice for active subterranean infestations in Katy slab homes.
Sentricon Bait System
In-ground bait stations installed at the foundation perimeter intercept foraging termites. Bait is carried back to the colony and shared, eliminating workers and eventually the reproductive population. Preferred for Katy homes with extensive foundation landscaping or dense mulch that limits soil injection.
Combination Treatment
Some Katy infestations benefit from Termidor barrier at the most accessible perimeter sections combined with Sentricon stations at heavily landscaped zones where injection is impractical. David selects this approach when the infestation and property layout both call for it.
Irrigation and Moisture Review
Drip irrigation systems common in Katy's large-lot neighborhoods can undermine termite treatment by keeping foundation soil persistently moist. David reviews irrigation emitter placement and identifies adjustments that reduce moisture accumulation at the slab edge as part of every treatment plan.
Trench-and-Treat Application
For active infestation zones, David trenches through mulch beds and foundation plantings to access soil at the slab edge for direct Termidor application. This ensures a continuous barrier even where landscaping covers the foundation perimeter.
90-Day Follow-Up Inspection
Included with every treatment. At 90 days, David inspects for new mud tube activity, checks Sentricon bait uptake, and documents the post-treatment status. Treatment is not considered complete until the follow-up confirms the colony is no longer active.

Case Study
Nottingham Country Slab Home: Irrigation-Driven Termite Infestation Treated and Eliminated
The Problem
A Nottingham Country homeowner had a 16-zone drip irrigation system that had run along all four sides of the foundation for 11 years. A routine landscape contractor noticed soft wood at the base of a garage door frame and alerted the homeowner. Two pest companies said the home needed immediate full-perimeter treatment under a long-term bond.
Our Solution
David inspected the full foundation perimeter, the garage interior, and the irrigation layout. He found active subterranean termite foraging at two irrigation trench runs along the back and left foundation segments — the only areas where irrigation emitters had been pointed directly at the slab edge. He applied Termidor SC via trench-and-treat at both active segments and installed four Sentricon stations at the high-activity zones. He also documented the irrigation layout and recommended redirecting three emitter zones.
The Outcome
The 90-day follow-up found Sentricon bait taken at three of four stations and no new mud tube evidence at the treated segments. The soft wood at the garage frame was limited to surface damage and did not require structural repair. The homeowner had the irrigation emitters redirected by a landscaper and enrolled in an annual termite inspection plan.
Termite Treatment FAQs for Katy Homeowners
How long does Termidor treatment last in Katy's soil conditions?
Termidor SC typically remains effective for 5-10 years in controlled soil conditions. Katy's sandy-loam soil drains faster than Houston's inner-loop clay, which can affect how long the barrier holds in areas with active irrigation. Annual inspection is recommended to catch any re-entry at the foundation perimeter before new activity starts.
Do I need to leave my Katy home during termite treatment?
No. Termidor liquid barrier is applied in the soil at the foundation exterior — not inside the home. Residents do not need to vacate during or after treatment. Sentricon bait stations are placed entirely in the ground outside the structure. David explains any relevant re-entry precautions when treating specific interior access points.
How many Sentricon stations does a Katy slab home need?
The number of stations depends on the perimeter length and infestation activity. David spaces stations according to the infestation level and property layout — active zones get stations closer together, and low-activity perimeter segments use standard spacing. A typical Katy slab home requires 8-14 stations for full perimeter coverage.
Can I treat termites myself in Katy?
Consumer-grade termite products are far less effective than professional-applied Termidor SC and cannot be applied as a continuous liquid barrier without professional equipment. Termite infestations in Katy slab homes involve soil conditions, irrigation factors, and colony behavior that require professional assessment to treat effectively. DIY treatments frequently create a false sense of security while the colony continues to expand.
What if termites come back after treatment?
Resolve's satisfaction guarantee covers return service if termite activity is detected between scheduled inspections after treatment. David comes back and assesses the new activity — at no additional charge — to determine whether a barrier gap, irrigation change, or new colony entry is responsible.
