“We had confirmed Formosan activity near three live oak trees along the rear fence line. David applied a liquid barrier around the entire foundation and installed bait stations along the tree line. The six-month follow-up showed all colonies eliminated. Exceptional work on a complicated lot.”

Tanglewood Residents on Resolve's Termite Treatment
Liquid Barrier + Sentricon Formosan Specialists No Contracts
“David's treatment approach was completely different from the national company we'd used before. He explained exactly where the termite pressure was coming from, why the previous treatment hadn't held, and what the combined liquid-and-bait approach would do differently. Two years later, still no activity.”
“We had termite damage repaired by a contractor who recommended we call Resolve for follow-up treatment. David came out the next week, treated the affected area thoroughly, and explained how to monitor for signs of recurrence. He was honest about what we needed and what we didn't.”
Termite Treatment Options for Tanglewood Properties
David selects and applies the right treatment method — or combination of methods — based on your specific infestation and property conditions.
Liquid Termiticide Barrier Treatment
A continuous zone of EPA-registered termiticide is applied to foundation soil, creating a chemical barrier termites cannot cross. Resolve targets root corridor entry points specific to Tanglewood's mature live oak landscape for maximum effectiveness.
Sentricon Always Active Bait Stations
Bait stations installed around the property perimeter and along Tanglewood's characteristic tree lines attract foraging workers, who carry the active ingredient back to eliminate the colony — including the Formosan queen — at the source.
Combined Liquid and Bait Program
For active Formosan infestations on Tanglewood's densely wooded lots, David typically recommends combining a liquid barrier around the foundation with bait stations along the tree canopy perimeter — two lines of defense working simultaneously.
Drywood Spot Treatment
Drywood termite galleries in attic rafters, fascia boards, and interior millwork are treated through targeted injection — eliminating active colonies in original Tanglewood construction without requiring full fumigation.
Post-Treatment Monitoring
David schedules a follow-up inspection 90-180 days after treatment to verify colony elimination. Bait station inspections continue annually before spring swarm season to confirm Tanglewood properties remain protected.
Treatment Documentation
Every treatment is documented with product used, application zone, and treatment date — records useful for annual monitoring, property sales, and future lender WDO requirements.
How Termite Treatment Works in Tanglewood
From initial call to confirmed elimination — a systematic process built around your property's unique conditions.
- 1
David inspects the full property, identifying colony access points, active mud tubes or frass, and conducive conditions such as oak root corridors, moist garden beds, and slab or crawlspace vulnerabilities specific to your Tanglewood lot.
- 2
David explains exactly what he found, where the colonies are entering, and which treatment approach he recommends. Pricing is provided upfront with no hidden charges. You make the decision — no pressure.
- 3
Liquid termiticide is injected into foundation soil at label-required intervals. Sentricon bait stations are installed at positions that intercept foraging routes between Tanglewood's tree canopy and your foundation.
- 4
A follow-up visit confirms treatment effectiveness. Annual spring monitoring — before Tanglewood's Formosan swarm season peaks — keeps your property protected year-over-year with no contract required.

Case Study
How Resolve Eliminated a Formosan Colony Spanning Two Properties in Tanglewood
The Problem
A Tanglewood homeowner discovered mud tubes running up an exterior wall near the rear garden. David's inspection revealed a large Formosan subterranean termite colony using the root system of a shared live oak straddling the property line — the same tree whose canopy shaded both homes. The colony had been foraging for at least two seasons based on the extent of mud tube construction.
Our Solution
David applied a full-perimeter liquid barrier around the client's foundation, with concentrated treatment in the soil zone surrounding the oak's root base. Eight Sentricon Always Active bait stations were installed in an arc from the shared fence line to the front corner of the property, intercepting all foraging routes between the tree and the structure.
The Outcome
A four-month follow-up inspection confirmed full colony elimination on the client's property. Bait station activity confirmed the Sentricon had reached the colony. The client enrolled in annual spring monitoring to protect the property through future swarm seasons.
Termite Treatment FAQs for Tanglewood Homeowners
How long does termite treatment last in Tanglewood?
Liquid termiticide barriers typically remain effective for 5-10 years in Harris County soil conditions, though clay soil with heavy moisture retention can reduce barrier longevity. David recommends annual monitoring to assess barrier integrity and replenish treatment zones before they diminish — particularly ahead of spring swarm season.
Will the treatment work on Formosan termites specifically?
Yes. Both the liquid termiticide barriers and Sentricon bait stations David uses are effective against Formosan termites — the most aggressive species active in Tanglewood. The combined approach is particularly effective because it creates perimeter protection while simultaneously targeting colony elimination from within through bait.
How long after treatment before the termites are eliminated?
Liquid barrier treatment works on contact — termites that cross the treated zone are killed within days. Sentricon bait station activity takes longer: worker termites must discover, feed on, and distribute the bait through the colony, which typically requires 30-90 days for full colony elimination depending on colony size.
Is it safe to treat near my drip irrigation system and garden beds?
Yes. David applies termiticide at label-required rates in targeted soil zones, working carefully around irrigation emitters and ornamental plant root zones. He has extensive experience treating heavily landscaped Tanglewood lots without damaging managed gardens or compromising drip irrigation lines.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
Liquid termiticide application is an exterior soil treatment — no interior application is required for subterranean termite control. Residents can remain in the home during treatment. For drywood spot treatment in the attic, brief access to that space is needed but no household displacement is required.
What is the warranty or guarantee on termite treatment?
David provides a satisfaction guarantee on all treatments and includes a follow-up inspection to confirm effectiveness. Annual monitoring ensures protection is maintained year-over-year. If new activity appears in a previously treated zone within the follow-up period, David will assess and retreat at no additional charge.
