“After the big rain in spring, we noticed mud tubes inside the garage about six weeks later. David came out quickly, found active subterranean activity along the rear slab, and treated the same week. He explained exactly how flooding accelerates termite behavior in this area — you can tell he knows east Houston specifically, not just pest control in general. Clean follow-up inspection.”

Pasadena Homeowners on Resolve Termite Control
Post-Flood Specialists No Contracts Owner-Operated
“Our home was built in 1963 and we'd never had a termite inspection. David found drywood termite damage in the attic framing and subterranean activity near the back porch. He treated both in one visit and explained everything without making it feel overwhelming. Honest about what needed immediate attention and what could wait. Really appreciated that.”
“We needed a WDO inspection to refinance and David had us scheduled the next day. Report was delivered in 48 hours and the $175 fee went toward the spot treatment we ended up needing on a window frame. The whole thing was done before our lender deadline. No drama, no surprises.”
Termite Control Services for Pasadena Homes
Comprehensive termite management from inspection through long-term colony prevention — matched to Pasadena's specific pest environment.
WDO Inspection and Reports
Licensed wood-destroying organism inspection covering the main structure, foundation, accessible framing, and perimeter. The $175 inspection fee is credited toward treatment. Fast report delivery for mortgage, refinance, and resale transactions in Pasadena.
Liquid Termite Barrier
Full-perimeter Termidor application creates a continuous barrier that kills active subterranean colonies foraging toward the foundation. Essential for Pasadena homes in flood-prone areas where soil disturbance accelerates colony movement.
Sentricon Always Active Monitoring
In-ground bait stations placed at intervals around the property perimeter intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Ideal for ongoing protection in Pasadena's high-moisture soil environment and along drainage-adjacent lots.
Drywood Termite Spot Treatment
Pasadena's 1950s–1970s framing has had decades to accumulate drywood termite activity in attics, window headers, and door frames. Targeted spot treatment and localized fumigation eliminates colonies in original wood without full-structure fumigation in most cases.
Post-Flood Termite Assessment
Flooding saturates soil and displaces established termite colonies toward structures. Resolve offers focused post-flood inspections for Pasadena homeowners who experienced flooding in the past 4 to 12 weeks and want to get ahead of accelerated colony activity.
Annual Monitoring Re-Inspection
Yearly re-inspections confirm treatment effectiveness and catch new activity early. Given Pasadena's flood frequency and high subterranean pressure, annual monitoring is one of the highest-value investments a Pasadena homeowner can make.

Full Property Inspection
David inspects the full foundation perimeter, slab edges, attic framing, garage, utility areas, and crawlspace access points. For post-flood calls, he specifically maps soil saturation zones and the most likely colony migration pathways toward the structure.
- 3
Treatment Application
Treatment is matched to what was found. Active subterranean colonies get liquid barriers at affected zones. Drywood activity gets spot treatment. Monitoring stations are placed where ongoing pressure is likely. No standard packages, no upsells.

Follow-Up and Ongoing Monitoring
A follow-up inspection confirms treatment effectiveness. Annual monitoring plans are available with no long-term commitment — enroll, pause, or cancel based on your own schedule and comfort level.

Case Study
Pasadena: Drywood and Subterranean Activity Found in 1967 Ranch Home
The Problem
A Pasadena homeowner purchased a 1967 ranch home and scheduled a WDO inspection prior to closing. The inspection revealed two separate termite species problems: drywood termite pellets and galleries in the attic framing above the primary bedroom, and fresh subterranean mud tubes along the rear garage slab — the first post-flooding termite activity the previous owner had not noticed.
Our Solution
David applied targeted drywood spot treatment to the identified attic framing gallery areas and treated the rear garage slab perimeter with a liquid termiticide barrier. Four Sentricon Always Active stations were installed along the rear foundation edge given the property's history of post-flood subterranean activity. Written treatment documentation was provided for the lender.
The Outcome
Both the drywood spot treatment and the liquid barrier application were completed within 72 hours of the inspection, allowing the real estate transaction to close on schedule. A 60-day follow-up found no new pellet activity in the attic and no new mud tube formation in the garage. The new owners enrolled in annual monitoring.
Termite Control FAQs for Pasadena, TX
Why does Pasadena have such high termite pressure compared to other Harris County cities?
Pasadena combines three major termite risk factors: heavy clay soil that retains moisture and supports subterranean colonies year-round, frequent flooding events that disturb soil and accelerate foraging, and a large stock of original 1950s–1970s housing with untreated framing. Most properties in Pasadena carry more cumulative termite risk than newer construction elsewhere in the county.
How long after a flood should I schedule a termite inspection?
The most common window for post-flood termite activity to become visible is 4 to 10 weeks after significant flooding. Soil saturation displaces colonies and forces aggressive new foraging. Scheduling an inspection 4 to 6 weeks after a flooding event gives David the best chance to catch activity early, before mud tubes reach interior walls.
What does a WDO inspection cover and how much does it cost?
A WDO inspection covers all visible wood-destroying organism activity in the main structure, accessible attic and crawlspace areas, attached structures, and the full foundation perimeter. The $175 fee is credited toward treatment if active activity is found. Written reports are issued in a format that satisfies most lender and insurance requirements.
What is the difference between subterranean and drywood termite treatment?
Subterranean termites live in the soil and forage up into the structure — they require soil-applied liquid barriers or in-ground bait stations to interrupt the colony. Drywood termites live entirely within the wood itself — they require direct wood treatment, spot fumigation, or in severe cases full-structure fumigation. Many Pasadena homes have pressure from both species simultaneously.
Do I need annual termite monitoring or is a one-time treatment enough?
For most Pasadena properties, one-time treatment addresses the active infestation but does not permanently prevent future colonies. Harris County's clay soil and Pasadena's flood frequency mean new colony pressure is ongoing. Annual monitoring intercepts new foraging before it reaches the structure and provides early warning for homes in high-pressure areas.
How quickly can you schedule in Pasadena?
David typically schedules within 1 to 2 business days, and often same-day for urgent situations such as real estate closings or visible active infestations. Call (832) 519-6650 directly — no hold queue or automated system.
