Bats play an important role in maintaining natural balance by controlling insect populations, but when they enter commercial facilities, they can cause serious safety, sanitation, and compliance issues. For industries such as food service, shopping centers, storage facilities, and manufacturing plants, bat infestations can quickly lead to contamination risks, odor problems, and damage to building materials.
Invicta Environmental Pest Defense provides comprehensive commercial bat services — including bat removal, cleanup, sanitization, and exclusion — tailored to meet the strict operational and health standards of your facility.
Serving Raleigh, Durham, Wake Forest, Clayton, Cary, Apex, and throughout Wake, Johnston, and Durham Counties, we help businesses remain safe, compliant, and bat-free through experienced, humane, and discreet wildlife management solutions.

🦇 Common Bats Affecting Businesses in Wake County, North Carolina
North Carolina is home to more than a dozen bat species, though only a few routinely occupy commercial or structural environments. The most common species that affect businesses in the Raleigh-Durham area include:
Big Brown Bat (Eptesicus fuscus) – Frequently roosts in attics, warehouses, and covered loading docks; one of the most tolerant of urban settings.
Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus) – Often forms colonies in rafters, soffits, and behind wall voids; responsible for many interior roosting complaints.
Evening Bat (Nycticeius humeralis) – Prefers warm, humid buildings for maternity colonies; can regularly be found in commercial rooflines.
Tri-colored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus) – Commonly found in older or less-insulated structures across North Carolina.
Mexican Free-tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis) – Known for nesting in high roof structures such as warehouses and industrial buildings.
These species are protected under state wildlife guidelines, making professional, humane exclusion essential for legal and effective resolution.
⚠️ Current Concerns About Bats in Triangle-Area Businesses
Health and Disease Risks: Bats can carry rabies and their droppings (guano) may harbor Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus causing histoplasmosis when inhaled. In food or healthcare industries, even minor exposure can result in compliance violations.
Secondary Pest Infestations: Bat guano buildup can attract cockroaches, dermestid beetles, and mites, which spread through storage and production areas.
Structural and Sanitation Damage: Accumulated droppings corrode surfaces, stain walls, and produce persistent odors affecting air quality — leading to costly cleanup and reputation risks.
These risks make bat exclusion and sanitization crucial for protecting commercial spaces across Wake, Johnston, and Durham Counties.

My 1.5 acre yard was filled with fire ants. The kids couldn’t play without being bit. Some mounds were a foot high. Invicta Environmental Pest Defense came out quickly and toasted those fire ants in less than two hours. They were careful around our chickens and their coop. I love that the products they used were safe for our dogs and kids. We finally have our yard back! If you are battling yard pests, give Invicta Environmental Pest Defense a call. Their friendly staff will help you find the right solution for your whole family.– Laura L.
Just moved into a new home and needed to establish routine treatments. I love that Invicta Environmental Pest Defense is pet and child conscientious. With two kitties and two kiddos at home, that is most important to us. They are very responsive and always follow up to help when any problem arises. Highly recommend.– Heidi M.
We’ve had many other pest control companies throughout 20 years on regularity and never had the level of customer service we received from Mike at Invicta Environmental Pest Defense today. If there were a way to give 10 stars, we definitely would.– Kelly J.
We needed to change pest control service after nine years due to rising prices from another provider. Mike from Invicta Environmental Pest Defense came out and could not have been more thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and completely fair in costs for our comparable needs. He even came out the following day to get us completely set up with their service, and I feel confident that we will be well taken care of with our pest/termite control. He went clearly above and beyond to ensure everything was done carefully, and we highly recommend them for service.– Kim M.
I love knowing it’s mom owned because they have our grandkids and grand dogs in mind when applying chemicals/treating our home. You can call and speak to anyone, and they’re very pleasant and great listeners to your needs with a fast appointment turnaround. Worth the call! I give them 5 stars!
– Jean S.
Liza and her team are awesome! I used them for my semiannual treatment of my rental property. They were very professional and on time! I can’t recommend them enough for your pest control needs!
– Zack O.
I am well pleased with the team, their research, and their awareness of proper pest treatments. Mike is personable, patient (I had a zillion questions!), and probably one of the best pests.– Naomi J. in Raleigh, NC.
Absolutely would recommend Invicta. This family took their time to make sure our house was treated and offered great solutions to keep our house free of insects!– Tamara B. in Raleigh, NC
Highly recommend Invicta! We moved into an older home and were having some bug issues. Mike came out and inspected before treating and answered all of our questions. He took time and care into treating our home and ensuring our kids were safe.– Taylor S. in Raleigh, NC
