“We saw termite swarms near the rear of the property in April and called Resolve the same day. David was on-site within 48 hours, identified a Formosan colony tracking along the oak root system to our foundation, and had the barrier treatment completed by Friday. Fast, thorough, and exactly what we needed.”

Tanglewood Residents on Resolve's Termite Control
Formosan Specialists WDO Reports Available Annual Monitoring
“David's bait station program across our wooded lot has given us real peace of mind. He inspects each station during his annual visit and walks us through exactly what he's seeing. No other company we've used has been this transparent or this detail-oriented.”
“Our real estate agent recommended Resolve for a WDO inspection before listing our Tanglewood home. David found and treated an issue that would have killed the sale, and the $175 inspection fee was credited to the treatment. We closed on time. Worth every dollar.”
Termite Control Services for Tanglewood Properties
Comprehensive termite control programs built around Tanglewood's unique combination of mature trees, clay soil, and original construction.
Whole-Property Termite Inspection
David inspects foundations, sill plates, crawlspaces, attic framing, and soil contact areas — paying particular attention to root corridors from Tanglewood's mature live oaks, which create direct foraging paths to structures.
Formosan Termite Treatment
Formosan colonies in Tanglewood are active from April through June swarm season but forage year-round. Full-perimeter termiticide barriers combined with Sentricon bait stations intercept and eliminate colonies before they reach structural wood.
Subterranean Termite Barriers
Harris County's clay soil retains moisture year-round, sustaining large subterranean termite populations beneath Tanglewood lots. Liquid termiticide creates a continuous soil zone of protection around all foundation contact points.
Sentricon Bait Station Programs
Always Active bait stations placed at strategic intervals around Tanglewood lots intercept foraging workers and carry active ingredient back to eliminate the colony — including queens — at the source.
Annual Re-Inspection and Monitoring
David returns each year to inspect bait stations, reassess liquid barrier integrity, and check for new termite pressure — keeping Tanglewood homes protected through each successive swarm season without requiring a long-term contract.
WDO Inspection Reports
Wood-destroying organism reports for real estate transactions covering the main structure and all detached buildings. Reports delivered within 24 hours of inspection. The $175 fee is credited toward any treatment found necessary.
How Termite Control Works for Tanglewood Homes
A thorough, straightforward process that protects your property from Tanglewood's most persistent pest threat.

- 2
David inspects the full property perimeter, all foundation contact zones, attic framing, and high-risk areas near Tanglewood's oak root systems. You receive a written report with findings and clear treatment recommendations.
- 3
Liquid termiticide barriers are applied to all foundation soil contact areas. Sentricon bait stations are installed at intervals appropriate for your lot's tree density and root network. EPA-registered products are used throughout.

David returns each spring — ahead of Tanglewood's swarm season — to inspect bait stations, verify barrier effectiveness, and catch any new pressure before it reaches structural wood. No contract required.
Resolve vs. National Termite Companies in Tanglewood
Tanglewood's high property values and Formosan pressure demand more than a standardized national termite program.

Case Study
How Resolve Caught a Hidden Formosan Colony During a Tanglewood Real Estate Inspection
The Problem
A seller preparing to list a 1967 Tanglewood home hired Resolve for a pre-listing WDO inspection. The home had passed a prior inspection three years earlier, but David's thorough examination of the rear foundation revealed active Formosan termite mud tubes originating from the root system of a large live oak at the property line — a new colony that had established since the last inspection.
Our Solution
David applied a full-perimeter liquid termiticide barrier along the rear and side foundations, concentrating treatment around the root corridor entry points. A row of Sentricon Always Active bait stations was installed at 10-foot intervals along the oak tree line to intercept any satellite foraging activity. Treatment was completed within 72 hours of the inspection.
The Outcome
A clearance WDO report was issued, and the property closed on schedule. The $175 inspection fee was credited toward treatment. The new owners enrolled in annual spring monitoring to stay ahead of Tanglewood's swarm season.
Termite Control FAQs for Tanglewood Homeowners
When is termite swarm season in Tanglewood?
Formosan termites in Tanglewood typically swarm April through June, peaking on warm evenings after spring rains. Eastern subterranean termites may swarm earlier, in March and April. If you see winged insects emerging near light sources or around your foundation, call David at (832) 519-6650 promptly — early intervention limits structural damage.
Why are live oak trees a termite risk factor for Tanglewood homes?
Mature live oaks develop extensive root networks that extend 20-30 feet or more from the trunk. Formosan termites establish colonies in dead wood within these root systems and use the root corridors as underground highways to foundations. Homes adjacent to Tanglewood's iconic boulevard oaks face the highest Formosan pressure.
What is the difference between Formosan and subterranean termites?
Both are subterranean species, but Formosan termite colonies are significantly larger — potentially millions of workers — and cause damage faster. Formosans also build carton nests that retain moisture, making them harder to fully eliminate. Resolve uses Sentricon and liquid barrier protocols specifically designed for Formosan colony sizes common in Tanglewood.
How do I know if I need liquid barrier treatment, bait stations, or both?
David determines the right approach during the on-site inspection. For active Formosan colonies or high-pressure lots near the oak canopy, a combined liquid barrier and Sentricon program is usually recommended. Lighter pressure situations near newer construction may be effectively managed with bait stations alone. There is no one-size-fits-all answer.
Will termite treatment damage my foundation landscaping or drip irrigation system?
No. David applies termiticide in targeted soil zones around the foundation, avoiding irrigation emitters and ornamental plant root zones where possible. He has extensive experience treating heavily landscaped Tanglewood properties without damaging managed garden beds or irrigation infrastructure.
Do you require a contract for annual termite monitoring?
No contracts are required. Annual monitoring is available on a year-to-year basis. Given Tanglewood's sustained Formosan pressure, most homeowners find annual spring monitoring — timed before swarm season — worth continuing indefinitely. You can stop at any time.
