Seal In Comfort, Seal Out Moisture — Crawlspace Encapsulation by Invicta Environmental Pest Defense
A strong home begins at its foundation — but in North Carolina’s humid climate, your crawlspace can become one of the biggest sources of moisture, odors, and energy loss in the entire house. At Invicta Environmental Pest Defense, we help families across Wake County, North Carolina strengthen and protect their homes through professional crawlspace encapsulation services — a long-term solution that keeps humidity, contaminants, and structural damage at bay while improving indoor air quality and comfort.
What Is Crawlspace Encapsulation?
Encapsulation is the process of sealing your crawlspace with a durable vapor barrier across the ground, foundation walls, and support structures. When combined with sealed vents and a controlled dehumidification system, your crawlspace becomes a clean, conditioned, and dry environment — no longer vulnerable to outside moisture or temperature fluctuations.
But at Invicta Environmental Pest Defense, we take encapsulation further. Our process is guided by science, precision, and local expertise.
🌎 The Science Behind Our Service
Every encapsulation project is backed by our in-house scientific team:
A Wildlife Biologist evaluates environmental and biological factors that could attract pests or wildlife below your home.
An Environmental Scientist understands humidity levels, air exchange, and micro-ecosystem balance to ensure long-term home health.
A Board-Certified Entomologist identifies pest pressures common to crawlspaces in the Raleigh-Durham region, ensuring your encapsulation helps deter future infestations.
This combination of expertise allows us to design an encapsulation that doesn’t just protect your home — it optimizes it.
🏠 Historical Insights — Encapsulations in Raleigh, North Carolina
1960s–1970s: Traditional vented crawlspaces were the construction standard in Wake County, based on early building codes that favored ventilation for wood preservation.
1990s: Local builders and home inspectors began to recognize that Wake County’s humid climate allowed unwanted moisture buildup in vented spaces, leading to increased microbial growth and wood decay.
2000s–Present: Encapsulation emerged as the preferred building practice across the Triangle area, becoming the region’s recommended method for protecting foundations and improving energy efficiency.
Encapsulation has evolved from an optional upgrade to a proactive home-health necessity in our environment.
💡Long-Term Benefits — Why Encapsulation Pays Off for Homeowners
Over the next decade, a properly designed crawlspace encapsulation by Invicta Environmental Pest Defense provides benefits you’ll see — and feel — for years to come:
Improved Structural Health By blocking ambient ground moisture and stabilizing humidity levels, encapsulation protects wooden support structures, insulation, and subflooring from long-term degradation.
Cleaner Indoor Air and Healthier Living Space Up to 50% of the air you breathe on your first floor comes from the crawlspace. Encapsulation reduces airborne allergens, dust, and microbial contamination from rising into your living areas, creating cleaner, fresher air throughout the home.
Increased Home Value and Energy Efficiency A sealed, insulated crawlspace helps your HVAC system run more efficiently, lowering utility costs over time. Homebuyers in Wake County view encapsulation as a premium energy-saving upgrade, often increasing market value and appeal.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY
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
