“David found termite activity in our attic that two other companies had missed entirely. He explained exactly what he found, what it meant, and what it would take to fix it. That kind of honest, direct communication is exactly what you want in a pest company. Highly recommend.”

Pest Control That Understands West University Place
West University Place — known to locals as West U or The Bubble — is one of Houston's most distinctive communities. Tucked between Rice University and the Medical Center, West U is home to roughly 15,000 residents in a tight, walkable grid of older homes built largely between the 1940s and 1970s. The mature live oaks that shade every block are part of what makes West U so appealing. They are also part of what makes it a year-round challenge for pest and termite control.
David, the licensed owner-operator of Resolve Pest and Termite Control, has spent more than 20 years treating pest and termite pressure across Harris County. West U presents a specific combination of conditions: original wood framing and aging plumbing infrastructure invite subterranean and drywood termites and German cockroaches; mature live oaks touching neighboring rooflines give roof rats a continuous pathway across the neighborhood; and Brays Bayou, running just south of West U along Bellaire Boulevard, provides persistent moisture that fuels mosquito breeding and subterranean termite activity.
Resolve Pest and Termite Control brings honest, transparent pest control to West U homeowners, academics, doctors, and lawyers who expect service providers to know their trade and communicate clearly. No call centers, no upselling, no contracts. David handles every inspection and treatment personally — and backs every job with a satisfaction guarantee and EPA-registered products.

Full-Service Pest and Termite Control for West University Place Homes
From termite inspections to mosquito barrier spray, Resolve addresses every pest challenge that comes with older West U construction and its bayou-side location.
Termite Inspection and Treatment
WDO inspections for real estate transactions and peace of mind. Liquid barriers and Sentricon bait stations installed in tight West U lot settings where homes sit close together on narrow lots.
Subterranean and Drywood Termite Control
Brays Bayou moisture and clay soil support active subterranean termite colonies throughout West U. Original wood framing and hardwood floors in older homes are prime drywood termite targets.
German Cockroach and General Pest Control
Aging kitchen and bathroom plumbing in older West U homes creates ideal harborage for German cockroaches. American cockroaches enter through sewer access points. Targeted treatment without overkill.
Roof Rat Exclusion and Control
Mature live oaks touching rooflines create roof rat highways across West U's tight neighborhood grid. Entry-point sealing and targeted trapping without disrupting your neighbors' yards.
Mosquito Barrier Spray Programs
Brays Bayou and surrounding drainage channels generate persistent mosquito pressure. Monthly barrier spray programs protect West U backyards, patios, and outdoor entertaining areas.
Bed Bug Control
West U's academic and medical professional community travels frequently. Discreet bed bug inspection and treatment with a 90-day guarantee — same-week scheduling available.

What West University Place Homeowners Are Saying
20+ Years Experience No Contracts Satisfaction Guaranteed
“We have a big live oak that overhangs the roof and roof rats were getting into the attic. David sealed the entry points and set traps — explained the whole process clearly. Problem resolved and he followed up to make sure. Great service.”

Case Study
How Resolve Stopped a Subterranean Termite Infestation Discovered During a West U Home Sale
The Problem
A West University Place homeowner listed their 1958 bungalow for sale and ordered a WDO inspection as part of the transaction. The inspection revealed active subterranean termite mud tubes along the inside of the crawlspace pier blocks and evidence of long-term activity in two floor joists — damage that had gone unnoticed for years in the rarely accessed crawlspace of the older home.
Our Solution
David applied a full-perimeter liquid termiticide barrier around the home's foundation and treated the crawlspace access areas directly. Sentricon Always Active bait stations were installed at intervals around the tight lot, including near the mature live oak root system on the north side of the property where foraging pressure was highest.
The Outcome
A 30-day re-inspection confirmed treatment effectiveness and zero new mud tube activity. The WDO clearance was issued in time for the real estate closing. The new owners enrolled in an annual monitoring program.
Frequently Asked Questions — Pest Control in West University Place
Why are older West U homes especially vulnerable to termite infestations?
West University Place's housing stock is largely from the 1940s through 1970s — original wood framing, older crawlspaces, and aging wood-to-soil contact points create conditions termites exploit. Brays Bayou nearby adds persistent moisture that drives subterranean termite foraging, and mature live oaks create root corridors into the soil around foundations.
Do you perform WDO inspections for real estate transactions in West U?
Yes. West U's active real estate market means WDO inspections are in constant demand. David provides thorough inspection reports covering the main structure and all visible wood elements. The $175 inspection fee is credited toward treatment if active termite activity is found. Reports are delivered promptly to meet transaction timelines.
Are German cockroaches a particular problem in West University Place?
Yes. Older plumbing infrastructure in West U's aging kitchen and bathroom areas provides ideal harborage for German cockroaches. They are one of the most common pest complaints in the neighborhood and require targeted treatment — general perimeter spray alone is not effective against established German cockroach populations.
Why are roof rats so common in West University Place?
West U's mature live oak canopy creates continuous aerial pathways from yard to yard across the neighborhood's tight lot grid. Roof rats use overhanging branches to access rooflines and enter homes through gaps in fascia boards, soffits, and plumbing penetrations. Entry-point sealing is essential alongside trapping.
Do you require a long-term service contract?
No. Resolve operates without service contracts. Treatments are available per-visit, and optional ongoing programs for pest control, mosquito treatment, or annual termite monitoring are available month-to-month. You choose what makes sense for your household and can adjust or stop at any time.
How quickly can you come out for a pest inspection in West University Place?
David typically schedules inspections within 1-2 business days, and often same-day for urgent situations. Call (832) 519-6650 to speak directly with David — no hold queues or call centers. He will tell you honestly when he can be there.
Do you serve neighborhoods adjacent to West U, such as Bellaire, Upper Kirby, or the Rice University area?
Yes. Resolve serves all of Harris County, including the neighborhoods surrounding West University Place — Bellaire, Southside Place, Upper Kirby, the Medical Center area, and the Rice University campus adjacent communities. Call to confirm service for your specific address.
