Protect Your Home from the Ground Up with Invicta Environmental Pest Defense Crawlspace Services
Your crawlspace plays a bigger and buggier role in your home’s health than most homeowners realize. Moisture, humidity, and unseen pests can silently damage your foundation, air quality, and energy efficiency. That’s why Invicta Environmental Pest Defense offers comprehensive Crawlspace Inspections, Clean-Outs, Dehumidification, and Encapsulation Services — customized to the unique conditions of Wake County, North Carolina.
Our mission: to give families cleaner, drier, and healthier homes while protecting their biggest investment from the ground up.
🧰 Our Crawlspace Service Process
Crawlspace Inspection Every service begins with a detailed inspection by our trained experts — including an on-staff Wildlife Biologist, Environmental Scientist, and Board-Certified Entomologist. This ensures we not only assess structural pest-related issues but also account for how moisture and biology interact beneath your home.
Crawlspace Clean-Out We remove debris, old insulation, and contaminants such as rodent waste, or decaying materials that can harbor bacteria or attract pests.
Dehumidifier Installation After cleaning, we install high-efficiency crawlspace dehumidifiers designed to maintain the ideal moisture level year-round — essential in North Carolina’s humid climate.
Full Crawlspace Encapsulation Finally, our technicians install a professional encapsulation system, sealing the ground and foundation walls with durable vapor barriers that block moisture and improve air quality.
With Invicta Environmental Pest Defense, your crawlspace stays clean, dry, and protected season after season.
🌎 Backed by Science and Local Expertise
We’re proud to bring a science-first approach to every crawlspace project through partners and manufacturers like April Aire for Dehumidifiers and Little Giant for Sump Pumps. Our unique team — featuring a Wildlife Biologist, Environmental Scientist, and Board-Certified Entomologist — evaluates the factors that affects your home’s environment, from soil moisture and microbial growth to potential insect or rodent intrusion.
📜 Historical Insights — Crawlspaces in Wake County, North Carolina
1940s–1950s: Many homes in Raleigh and surrounding areas were built with vented crawlspaces to prevent wood decay — an accepted practice before humidity control technology was widely available.
1980s: Builders began recognizing that North Carolina’s humid climate often turned vented crawlspaces into moisture traps, leading to mold, wood rot, and pest problems.
2000s–Present: As building standards evolved, sealed and encapsulated crawlspaces became the recommended approach for energy efficiency and indoor air quality throughout Wake County.
These developments highlight how modern encapsulation and dehumidification systems like Invicta’s can dramatically improve home performance across the Triangle region.
Regular inspections identify pests and moisture sources such as plumbing leaks, soil vapor, or poor ventilation.
Monitoring moisture helps maintain healthy wood and insulation integrity.

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
