West U Homeowners on Resolve's Termite Control
WDO Inspections Available Annual Monitoring No Contracts
“David treated our home for subterranean termites and installed bait stations along the perimeter. We have a big live oak root system that was creating foraging pressure right at the foundation. He explained the biology clearly and set expectations accurately. Six months later, clean re-inspection. Outstanding.”
“I bought an older house near West U and found termite damage in the attic after moving in. David was one of the few providers who gave me a straight answer about what I actually needed versus what I did not. He treated the drywood activity in the attic and set bait stations for the subterranean risk. Very trustworthy.”
Comprehensive Termite Control Services for West University Place
Every aspect of termite control addressed for older West U homes — from pre-sale inspections to long-term colony elimination.
Whole-Home Termite Inspection
David inspects your home from foundation to attic framing — mud tubes, wood damage, moisture conditions, and entry points that are common in West U's older construction. Written assessment provided with no pressure to purchase.
Liquid Termiticide Barrier
Full-perimeter liquid treatment applied around the foundation creates a continuous zone of protection. Essential for West U homes on clay soil near Brays Bayou where subterranean foraging pressure is sustained year-round.
Sentricon Bait Stations
Always Active bait stations installed discreetly at intervals around the lot — sized to West U's tight lots without encroaching on neighboring properties. Intercepts foraging colonies and eliminates them at the source.
Drywood Termite Spot Treatment
West U's older homes — original window frames, hardwood floors, attic framing — are prime drywood termite habitat. Targeted spot treatment addresses localized drywood activity without whole-house fumigation when appropriate.
Annual Re-Inspection Program
Annual monitoring confirms treatment effectiveness and catches new termite pressure early. Standard practice for West U's older homes where construction vulnerabilities are ongoing rather than one-time conditions.
Real Estate WDO Reports
Inspection reports suitable for real estate transactions in West U's active market. The $175 inspection fee is credited toward any treatment found necessary. Reports delivered on time to meet closing schedules.

Case Study
How Resolve Eliminated an Established Formosan Colony in a West U Home Before a Real Estate Closing
The Problem
A West University Place homeowner placed their 1955 home on the market and requested a WDO inspection to prepare for the sale. David's inspection found active Formosan termite mud tubes inside the crawlspace along two pier blocks and early-stage damage in the floor joist bearing area — infestation had likely been active for two or more seasons without visible signs at the surface.
Our Solution
Full-perimeter liquid termiticide treatment was applied around the foundation with special attention to the south side where a large live oak root system created the highest foraging pressure. Sentricon bait stations were installed around the perimeter of the tight 6,000-square-foot lot. A 30-day re-inspection was scheduled before the closing date.
The Outcome
The 30-day re-inspection showed no new mud tube activity and the bait stations were engaged. WDO clearance was issued and the real estate transaction closed on schedule. The new buyers enrolled in annual monitoring.
Termite Control FAQs for West University Place Homeowners
Why are West U homes at higher termite risk than newer Houston construction?
Homes from the 1940s through 1970s often have original wood elements — floor joists, window frames, subfloor sheathing — that have accumulated decades of micro-moisture exposure. Clay soil around older foundations retains moisture, and proximity to Brays Bayou sustains year-round subterranean foraging. Newer construction uses treated lumber and modern vapor barriers that reduce but do not eliminate this risk.
How long does a termite treatment last in West University Place?
Liquid barrier treatments remain effective for 5-10 years depending on soil conditions and rainfall. Sentricon bait stations are an ongoing monitoring system — David checks and recharges them during annual visits. For West U homes with persistent bayou-adjacent moisture, annual re-inspection is standard practice.
Can Sentricon bait stations be installed on a small West U lot without disturbing the neighboring property?
Yes. Sentricon stations are installed in the ground at discreet intervals within your property boundary. David is experienced with the tight lot conditions typical in West U and positions stations to maximize coverage without encroaching on shared fencing, landscaping, or neighboring structures.
What is the difference between subterranean and drywood termites, and which is more common in West U?
Both are active in West University Place. Subterranean termites live in the soil and require moisture — Brays Bayou's proximity makes them a persistent threat. Drywood termites live entirely within wood and are found in attic framing, window frames, and original hardwood floors. Many older West U homes have both species active simultaneously in different parts of the structure.
Do I need to be home during termite treatment?
Not necessarily. For exterior liquid barrier treatment, David can work around the perimeter without requiring you to be home. Sentricon installation also does not require interior access. For interior inspection or attic work, an adult should be available. David will discuss what access is needed when scheduling.
Do you require a contract for annual termite monitoring in West U?
No contracts are required. Annual monitoring is available year-to-year and you can discontinue at any time. Given the ongoing termite pressure in West U's older neighborhood, most homeowners choose to continue monitoring indefinitely — but the decision is always yours.
How soon can you come out if I see termite swarmers or mud tubes?
David can typically schedule an inspection within 24-48 hours. If you see swarming termites — winged reproductives emerging inside or outside the home — call (832) 519-6650 immediately. Swarms indicate an established colony and early treatment is the most cost-effective response.
