“We found active termites in our utility room after the last flood. Three companies quoted us — two were national franchises with contracts and high prices. David quoted us significantly less, came out within two days, and treated the whole perimeter with a liquid barrier. The 45-day follow-up was completely clean. No upsell, no contract. Just fixed it.”

Pasadena Homeowners on Resolve Termite Treatment
No Contracts Competitive Pricing Owner-Operated
“Our 1964 home had both subterranean activity under the porch and drywood damage in the attic. David explained the difference between the two species, why they needed different treatments, and did both in one visit. He was honest about which was urgent and which could wait. Very different from the company that just wanted to do a blanket fumigation for everything.”
“I've had three treatments with Resolve over seven years on my Pasadena property — two liquid barriers after flood years and one drywood spot treatment in the attic. Each time David gives me a straight assessment of what needs to be done without trying to add on services. I trust him specifically because he doesn't oversell.”
Termite Treatment Options for Pasadena Homes
Species-matched treatment — liquid barriers for soil-dwelling colonies, spot treatment for wood-dwelling drywood termites, Sentricon for ongoing interception.
Liquid Termiticide Barrier
Termidor or equivalent applied continuously along the full foundation perimeter creates a treated zone that kills foraging subterranean and Formosan termites and eliminates the colony. The most effective immediate treatment for active Pasadena subterranean infestations.
Sentricon Always Active Monitoring
In-ground bait stations installed at intervals around the property intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Especially effective in Pasadena where post-flood soil disturbance brings renewed colony pressure season after season.
Drywood Spot Treatment
Targeted injection and surface application eliminates drywood termite galleries in specific areas of attic framing, door headers, and window framing without requiring full-structure fumigation. Ideal for Pasadena's original 1950s–1970s housing stock with localized drywood activity.
Combined Liquid and Monitoring Treatment
For homes with active subterranean infestation and high ongoing pressure — common in flood-prone Pasadena neighborhoods near drainage channels — a combined liquid barrier plus Sentricon installation provides both immediate elimination and long-term interception.
Post-Flood Accelerated Treatment
Flooding displaces colonies and drives aggressive foraging. Resolve applies higher-concentration perimeter treatment in post-flood conditions and focuses initial monitoring on the drainage-adjacent sides of the foundation where activity is most likely to appear first.
Treatment Documentation
Written treatment records are provided after every service, including the product applied, application zones, and recommendations for re-inspection timing. Useful for mortgage lenders, insurance underwriters, and real estate disclosures.
How Termite Treatment Works in Pasadena
From inspection through follow-up — a clear, honest process matched to what your property actually needs.
- 1
Inspection and Species Identification
Treatment starts with a proper inspection. David identifies the termite species, assesses the infestation extent, and locates the most likely colony activity zones. Treatment is built on those findings — not on a standard package.
- 2
Treatment Application
For subterranean infestations, a continuous liquid barrier is applied along the foundation perimeter. For drywood activity, targeted spot treatment is applied directly to the affected framing. Sentricon stations are installed where ongoing interception is needed.
- 3
Post-Treatment Walkthrough
After treatment, David walks through what was done, the expected timeline for colony elimination, and any re-entry or precautionary guidance for your household. Written documentation is provided the same day.
- 4
Follow-Up Inspection
A follow-up inspection at 30 to 60 days confirms that the treatment is working and that no new activity has appeared. Annual monitoring is available without any contract commitment for ongoing peace of mind.

Case Study
Pasadena: Combination Treatment for Active Subterranean Infestation Near Drainage Channel
The Problem
A Pasadena homeowner on a street bordering a drainage channel found live termite swarmers inside two rooms of their 1969 slab home. An inspection revealed active subterranean mud tubes in three locations along the rear foundation wall — the side closest to the drainage channel — and evidence of an established colony foraging from a soil moisture zone that had developed after repeated flooding events.
Our Solution
David applied a full-perimeter liquid Termidor barrier with additional concentration along the rear foundation wall where colony activity was heaviest. Six Sentricon Always Active stations were installed along the rear perimeter and both side-yard zones closest to the drainage channel. Total application time was approximately five hours.
The Outcome
A 45-day re-inspection found no new mud tube activity inside or on the exterior. Sentricon stations on the drainage-side perimeter showed interception activity, confirming residual colony pressure from the channel-adjacent soil had been captured by the monitoring system. The homeowner continues annual monitoring given the property's location.
Termite Treatment FAQs for Pasadena, TX
How does a liquid termiticide barrier actually eliminate the colony?
Termidor and similar undetectable liquid termiticides are transferred from exposed termites back to the colony through normal grooming and feeding behavior. Because termites cannot detect the treatment, they walk through it repeatedly, spreading it through the colony. Colony elimination typically occurs within 30 to 90 days of application.
How long does a liquid barrier treatment last in Pasadena's soil?
In Harris County's clay soil, a properly applied liquid termiticide barrier typically remains effective for 5 to 10 years. However, Pasadena's flooding frequency can affect the longevity of treatment zones in areas with poor drainage. David recommends annual monitoring inspections for homes in flood-prone areas to catch any treated-zone gaps early.
How much does termite treatment cost in Pasadena?
Treatment cost depends on the home's linear footage, the species involved, and whether liquid barrier, Sentricon monitoring, or both are needed. Resolve provides upfront written quotes before any work begins — no hidden fees or contract lock-ins. David's owner-operated pricing is consistently lower than the national franchise companies serving Pasadena.
Can I stay home during liquid barrier treatment?
Most Pasadena homeowners remain in the home during external liquid barrier application. If interior treatment is required, David provides specific re-entry guidance based on the product used. All EPA-registered termiticides used by Resolve have established safe re-entry intervals that are explained before treatment begins.
Does treatment guarantee no future termites?
No treatment guarantees permanent protection. Termite colonies are active throughout Harris County and new foraging pressure can develop over time — especially in flood-prone Pasadena neighborhoods. Annual monitoring is the most effective tool for catching new activity before it becomes a structural problem.
Is drywood treatment different from subterranean treatment?
Yes — entirely different approaches. Subterranean termites live in the soil and require soil-applied barriers or bait station interception. Drywood termites live inside the wood itself and require direct wood treatment, spot fumigation, or full-structure fumigation in severe cases. David identifies the species during inspection and recommends the correct treatment for each.
