“After Resolve treated our home two years ago, we enrolled in the annual plan. David calls every year, comes out, checks everything, and I have total peace of mind. It's a small cost compared to what termite damage could run.”

Why Annual Termite Inspections Are Essential in Houston
Houston's climate means termites never fully stop — and neither should your protection.
- Houston's warm, humid climate sustains year-round subterranean and Formosan termite activity
- Annual inspections catch early activity before colonies reach destructive scale
- Keeps your treatment warranty active — re-treatment coverage requires yearly inspection
- Documents your home's protection status for resale and insurance purposes
- Early detection keeps treatment costs low — small infestations cost far less to address
- No contracts — renew each year on your schedule
Houston Homeowners on Annual Termite Monitoring
Year-Round Protection Early Detection No Contracts
“My neighbor's house had a Formosan termite problem that went undetected for two seasons. After seeing their repair bill, I set up annual monitoring with Resolve. David caught early activity at my bait stations two years later — same-day re-treatment, no damage.”
“The annual monitoring plan gives me the same piece of mind as a home alarm — I know someone is watching. David is reliable, on schedule, and explains everything he finds. No surprises.”
What Annual Termite Monitoring Includes
A complete yearly inspection cycle designed to protect Houston homes from first sign to confirmed clearance.
Full Property Walkthrough
Annual inspection of foundation, crawl space, attic, and all accessible wood — same thoroughness as the initial inspection.
Bait Station Check
For properties with bait station systems, each station is inspected, replenished if needed, and activity is documented.
Barrier Condition Assessment
Liquid barrier treatments are assessed for any gaps caused by soil erosion, renovation, or utility work around the foundation.
Written Annual Report
Documentation of each annual inspection — findings, station status, and recommendations — kept on file for your records.
Warranty Renewal
Annual inspection keeps your treatment warranty active. If termites return, re-treatment is covered at no charge.
Early Intervention if Needed
If new activity is found during annual monitoring, targeted re-treatment is applied before the colony grows — typically at lower cost than initial treatment.
How Annual Termite Monitoring Works
Simple, reliable, and scheduled around your calendar.
- 1
Enroll After Initial Treatment
After your initial treatment, you choose annual monitoring. No contract — you renew each year based on your needs.
- 2
Annual Inspection Scheduled
Resolve contacts you each year to schedule your inspection — you don't have to remember to call.
- 3
Thorough Property Review
David inspects all areas from the previous treatment and checks for any new activity, entry points, or risk conditions.
- 4
Report and Warranty Renewed
Written inspection report delivered. If no activity is found, your warranty renews for another year. If activity is found, re-treatment is covered.
Annual Monitoring vs. One-Time Treatment with No Follow-Up
Houston's termite climate means one-time treatment without monitoring leaves your home exposed.

Case Study
Annual Monitoring Catches Re-Infestation Before Damage
The Problem
A Pearland homeowner had an initial termite treatment two years prior and enrolled in annual monitoring. At the second annual inspection, the inspector found early activity in one of the bait stations near the back fence line — a new Formosan foraging trail from a neighboring property.
Our Solution
Targeted treatment was applied at the active bait station location and a small soil treatment was applied along the fence line entry area. The intervention took less than 90 minutes.
The Outcome
No structural penetration had occurred — the monitoring caught the activity before the colony reached the home. The homeowner avoided what could have been a full perimeter re-treatment. Annual monitoring continued the following year.
Annual Termite Inspection FAQs
How often should a Houston home be inspected for termites?
Annually is the standard recommendation for Greater Houston due to year-round termite pressure from both subterranean and Formosan species. Homes adjacent to wooded areas, in older neighborhoods, or with a prior infestation history may benefit from bi-annual checks.
Does my treatment warranty require annual inspections?
Yes. Resolve's 1-year renewable warranty requires an annual inspection to remain active. The inspection confirms the treatment is holding and identifies any new activity early. If you skip a year, the warranty coverage expires.
What does an annual termite inspection cost?
Annual monitoring pricing is provided when you enroll after initial treatment. The cost is significantly lower than the initial inspection fee because it is focused on monitoring known conditions rather than a full baseline assessment.
What happens if termites are found during an annual inspection?
If activity is found within a previously treated zone, re-treatment is covered under your active warranty at no charge. If new activity is found in a previously untreated area, targeted treatment is quoted separately — and early intervention typically costs far less than a full retreatment.
Do I have to sign a contract for annual monitoring?
No. Resolve's annual monitoring is renewed year-to-year without a contract. You can choose not to renew any year with no penalty — you simply lose the warranty coverage for that year.
