“We bought a 1918 bungalow on Harvard Street and discovered drywood termite damage in the attic framing during renovation. David was out within 48 hours, did a thorough inspection, and treated the affected framing without disrupting our contractor schedule. Found someone we trust for the long term.”

Local Pest Control Built for The Heights' Historic Properties
The Heights is one of Houston's most storied neighborhoods, developed between the 1890s and 1920s with a dense collection of Victorian cottages, craftsman bungalows, and early-20th-century foursquares. That architectural heritage is what draws buyers, renovators, and long-term residents to the area — but it also creates specific and sustained pest challenges that generic franchise services aren't equipped to handle. Resolve Pest and Termite has been protecting homes throughout Harris County for over 20 years, and we understand the structural and environmental factors that drive pest pressure in The Heights.
Pier-and-beam foundations, original old-growth lumber framing, and raised-floor construction create ideal conditions for both subterranean and drywood termites. Close lot lines mean pests migrate freely from neighbor to neighbor. The mature pecan and oak canopy provides a canopy highway for roof rats moving between properties. And Buffalo Bayou's proximity — along with the neighborhood's drainage channels — sustains significant mosquito pressure from spring through fall. On 19th Street and Yale Street, commercial activity draws cockroaches and rodents into adjacent residential blocks.
Whether you're a millennial buyer restoring a 1910 craftsman, a long-time Heights resident managing recurring pest problems, or preparing a historic home for sale with a WDO inspection, Resolve Pest and Termite offers targeted, honest pest control with no long-term contracts.

Trusted by Heights Homeowners and Renovators
20+ Years Experience No Contracts Satisfaction Guaranteed
“Roof rats were getting into our attic through the pecan tree that overhangs the roofline. Resolve sealed every entry point and set traps — no interior poison bait, which was important with our dogs. No more noise in the ceiling after the first week.”
“We were selling our Heights home and needed a WDO inspection turned around fast for the buyer's lender. David scheduled it the next morning, found minor activity, treated it the same day, and had the treatment letter ready before our deadline. The closing went through on time.”
Case Study
The Heights: Subterranean Termites Found in a 1920s Pier-and-Beam
The Problem
A Heights homeowner mid-renovation on a 1924 craftsman bungalow discovered active subterranean termite mud tubes running up the pier posts beneath the floor system. The contractor had exposed subfloor framing that showed early wood damage. The renovation couldn't proceed until the infestation was eliminated and treated.
Our Solution
David performed a full crawl space inspection, mapping active mud tubes and identifying soil-contact wood near the rear piers. He applied a continuous liquid termiticide barrier around the full perimeter and treated the crawl space soil beneath the affected piers. Work was completed in a single visit coordinated with the renovation contractor.
The Outcome
The follow-up inspection confirmed no new mud tube activity after 30 days. The contractor completed the subfloor work on schedule, and the homeowner enrolled in an annual monitoring plan. The renovation closed on budget without further termite-related delays.
Frequently Asked Questions — The Heights Pest Control
Why are termites such a big problem in The Heights specifically?
The Heights has two distinct termite risks: pier-and-beam foundations provide subterranean termites direct soil-contact access to wood framing, and the original old-growth lumber used in 1890s-1920s construction is dense but still susceptible to drywood termite colonies in attics and wall framing. These risks compound in any home that hasn't had recent professional treatment.
Do you offer WDO inspections for Heights home sales?
Yes. WDO (wood-destroying organism) inspections are $175, and that fee is credited in full toward any treatment you book. We provide fast turnaround on inspection reports and treatment documentation — essential for The Heights' very active real estate market.
What products do you use, and are they safe for home renovations in progress?
We use only EPA-registered products applied according to label instructions. For homes under renovation, we work directly with your contractor to schedule treatments that don't interfere with open framing, drywall timelines, or finish work. Most exterior applications are dry within a few hours.
Can you do same-day pest control in The Heights?
Yes. For most services — general pest control, mosquito spray, and initial inspections — we can often schedule same-day or next-morning appointments. Call (832) 519-6650 early for the best availability.
How do roof rats get into Heights homes?
The Heights' mature pecan and oak canopy creates a network of overlapping branches that roof rats use to access rooflines directly. They enter through gaps at roofline seams, attic vents, and utility penetrations. We seal all entry points permanently and set attic traps — no interior poison bait.
Why is mosquito pressure so high near Buffalo Bayou?
Buffalo Bayou and its drainage channels create standing water conditions that sustain large mosquito populations even during dry periods. Properties within a quarter mile of the bayou corridor experience significantly higher mosquito pressure than other Houston neighborhoods.
Do pests really spread from one Heights property to another?
Yes. The Heights' close lot lines and shared fence lines make pest migration very common. Cockroaches from restaurant alleys on 19th Street and Yale Street spread into adjacent residential blocks. Rodents and ants move freely between properties. One neighbor's untreated infestation becomes your problem.
Do you require a contract for recurring pest control in The Heights?
No. Resolve Pest and Termite does not require contracts. You can schedule individual services or set up a recurring program and cancel anytime without penalty.
