Trusted Pest Control for Tanglewood's Established Homes and Estates
Tanglewood is one of Houston's most storied residential neighborhoods — developed through the 1950s and 1970s along the Post Oak and Galleria corridor, it is defined by large wooded lots, towering live oaks, magnolias, and legacy trees that make Tanglewood Boulevard one of the most beautiful residential canopies in the city. That same canopy, paired with Harris County's heavy clay soil, creates some of the most sustained pest and termite pressure in the region.
David, the licensed owner-operator of Resolve Pest and Termite Control, has spent more than 20 years treating pest and termite problems across Harris County's most demanding neighborhoods. In Tanglewood, the challenges are specific: Formosan termite swarms typically run April through June in the mature live oaks; original 1950s and 1960s framing still standing on many lots harbors drywood termites in attic rafters and fascia boards; and drip-irrigated ornamental gardens keep foundation soil moist year-round, creating ideal entry points for subterranean termites and ant colonies.
Resolve Pest and Termite Control brings the precision and professionalism that Tanglewood homeowners expect. Services are scaled to match the property — whether you need a single-family quarterly pest program, a WDO inspection for a real estate transaction, or a comprehensive mosquito barrier program before outdoor entertaining season. No contracts, no subcontractors, no pressure — just honest, experienced local service.

Complete Pest and Termite Services for Tanglewood Homes
Every pest challenge common to Tanglewood's established lots and original construction, handled by one licensed professional.
Termite Inspection and WDO Reports
Thorough wood-destroying organism inspections covering all structures on the property. Reports delivered promptly for real estate closings. The $175 inspection fee is credited toward any treatment David recommends.
Formosan and Subterranean Termite Control
Tanglewood's clay soils and mature live oak root systems create prime foraging corridors for Formosan and eastern subterranean termite colonies. Full-perimeter liquid barriers and Sentricon bait stations stop colonies at the source.
Drywood Termite Treatment
Original 1950s and 1960s attic rafters, fascia boards, and hardwood floors throughout Tanglewood are common drywood termite harborage. Targeted spot treatment eliminates active colonies while preserving the original materials.
Mosquito Barrier Spray Programs
Swimming pools, ornamental water features, and drip-irrigated landscape beds create mosquito breeding conditions across Tanglewood lots. Monthly barrier spray programs protect outdoor entertaining areas through the season.
Rodent Exclusion and Control
Tanglewood's mature canopy provides direct roof access for roof rats moving between homes. Exclusion work, snap traps, and monitoring protect your home without interior rodenticides.
General Pest and Bed Bug Control
Quarterly programs for cockroaches, ants, spiders, and wasps in high-landscaping environments. Discreet bed bug treatment with a 90-day guarantee for residents returning from travel.

What Tanglewood Homeowners Are Saying
20+ Years Experience No Contracts WDO Reports for Real Estate
“Our backyard has three large live oaks and a pool. The mosquito pressure every spring was ruining outdoor dinners. David's monthly barrier program has made our yard usable again. He shows up on schedule, does the work properly, and never oversells.”
“After seeing termite swarms near the roofline in April, I called Resolve. David identified both Formosan activity near the oak roots and drywood frass in the attic. He treated both issues in the same visit and explained every step clearly. This is the service you want protecting a home like ours.”
Case Study
How Resolve Stopped a Dual Termite Infestation Before a Tanglewood Home Sale
The Problem
A Tanglewood homeowner listed a 1964-construction home for sale and ordered a WDO inspection before listing. David's inspection uncovered subterranean termite mud tubes running from a mature live oak root system to the rear foundation sill plate, plus evidence of drywood termite galleries in the original attic rafters — two active infestations the sellers were unaware of.
Our Solution
David treated the subterranean infestation with a full-perimeter liquid termiticide barrier along the rear and side foundations, addressing the root corridor entry points. The drywood colonies in the attic were eliminated through targeted spot treatment to the affected rafter sections. Both treatments were completed within five days of the initial inspection.
The Outcome
A clearance WDO report was issued in time for the real estate transaction to close on schedule. The $175 inspection fee was credited toward treatment. The buyers enrolled in annual termite monitoring after closing to protect the now-remediated property.
Frequently Asked Questions — Pest Control in Tanglewood
Why is Tanglewood at elevated risk for Formosan termites?
Tanglewood's mature live oaks — some over 60 years old — create ideal harborage for Formosan termite colonies, which swarm April through June in the Houston area. Clay soil beneath established root networks supports large underground colonies that can span multiple properties. Homes on Tanglewood Blvd and adjacent streets with the densest canopy carry the highest risk.
What does a WDO inspection cost and how long does it take?
David charges $175 for a wood-destroying organism inspection covering the main structure and any detached garages or auxiliary buildings on the lot. The inspection typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on property size. The $175 fee is credited toward any treatment found necessary, and written reports are ready for real estate transaction deadlines.
Is original 1950s and 1960s construction more vulnerable to drywood termites?
Yes. Original construction framing, attic rafters, fascia boards, and interior millwork from that era were often not treated with modern preservatives. Over decades of exposure, older untreated wood in attic spaces and exterior trim is a common drywood termite target in Tanglewood's established homes.
Can drip irrigation or ornamental landscaping attract termites?
Yes. Drip irrigation systems keep soil near foundations consistently moist, which subterranean termites and carpenter ants seek out as prime entry points. Deep mulch beds over landscape fabric near the foundation further elevate moisture retention. David inspects irrigation zones and garden borders as standard practice in Tanglewood.
Do you offer mosquito control for homes with pools or water features?
Yes. Monthly mosquito barrier spray programs target resting areas in shrubs, tree lines, and ornamental beds — the key harborage zones around Tanglewood pools and garden spaces. Treatments are timed to the Houston mosquito season and applied using EPA-registered products safe for ornamental plants.
Are you seeing increased roof rat activity in Tanglewood?
Yes. Tanglewood's mature canopy creates continuous aerial corridors that roof rats use to move between homes and access rooflines and attic spaces. David identifies and seals entry points across the roofline and soffit, sets snap traps, and monitors — without using interior rodenticides that pose risks to pets.
Do you require a contract for ongoing pest services?
No contracts are required. Ongoing programs for quarterly pest control, monthly mosquito barrier sprays, and annual termite monitoring are all available month-to-month or year-to-year. You can adjust or cancel at any time.
