Trusted Expertise You Can Count On
All raccoon exclusion and wildlife damage control work is performed by licensed Wildlife Damage Control Agents. Our process is informed by:
On-staff Wildlife Biologist — guiding species behavior, denning patterns, and exclusion best practices;
Environmental Scientist — integrating local ecosystem knowledge and habitat management approaches;
Board Certified Entomologist — addressing secondary pest concerns like fleas and ectoparasites that raccoons often bring into homes.
Because all homes are different — we design site-specific raccoon exclusion plans using best practices that keep raccoons out and your home protected for the long term.
Why Wake, Durham, & Johnston Counties Need Raccoon Protection
📍Historical Raccoon Facts
Raccoons are abundant throughout North Carolina, thriving in both wild and urban areas due to their adaptability and opportunistic foraging.
In Wake County, local news confirmed multiple instances of raccoons testing positive for rabies, reminding residents that raccoons are an active rabies vector species.
Because raccoons can carry disease-causing pathogens, including rabies, homeowner safety demands professional intervention and proper exclusion to avoid direct or indirect exposure.
How Raccoons Damage Homes — What We Fix
Raccoons are intelligent problem-solvers with remarkable persistence, but when they access your property, the consequences can be costly and hazardous:
🧱 Structural Damage
Raccoons tear at shingles, fascia, vents, and gutters to gain entry into attics and wall spaces.
They can weaken roofing materials and compromise water lines, leading to long-term leaks.
💩 Fecal Buildup & Contamination
Raccoons deposit feces in attics, crawlspaces, and roof cavities, leading to insulation damage, odors, and sanitation concerns.
These deposits can carry parasites and pathogens that complicate cleanup.
🐜 Flea & Ectoparasite Infestations
Raccoons often host fleas, ticks, and other pests that can spill over into your living spaces — increasing the risk of bites on pets and family members.
Our team not only excludes raccoons but also integrates pest mitigation strategies informed by our Board Certified Entomologist to help reduce secondary pest problems.
Our Raccoon Removal & Exclusion Service
🔍🌿 Comprehensive Property Evaluation
We begin with a detailed inspection — identifying entry points, den locations, food attractants, and habitat features that raccoons exploit.
🔧 Professional Exclusion Work
Using proven best practices, we install:
Custom exclusion barriers
Reinforced mesh and flashing
Roofline and soffit protections
This not only removes raccoon access but prevents re-entry.
🧼 Cleanup & Restoration Guidance
Following exclusion, we recommend cleanup plans that address fecal buildup, insulation damage, and pest residues — minimizing health risks and restoring attic or wall cavities.

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
