About Us
Invicta Pest Control is mom-owned and family-focused, with a Board Certified Entomologist, an Environmental Scientist and a Wildlife Biologist from NC State on the team.


Our professional associations and certifications









Built by Mom, Backed by Science
Invicta Pest Control started with family. After we adopted two of our five children and saw the pest conditions they’d been living in, we knew no family should ever have to deal with that. That experience lit a fire in us.
With 20+ years in pest control and a team that includes a Board-Certified Entomologist, Environmental Scientist, and a Wildlife Biologist from NC State, we bring real expertise to every home we treat. And because we’re parents first, every treatment is designed with your family’s safety at the center.

Our Methods
As a mom and certified pest control technician, I want the interior and exterior of your home to be serviced safely and effectively. We have the care and technique to focus on your family and bring back the home field advantage against pests. We designed our Little League pest defense service so that the inside of your home is treated with a “Liquid Last, Not First” technique in the cracks and crevices.
- We use products from trusted manufacturers and follow guidance from the Environmental Protection Agency.
- Some pests need more intensive treatment, but we always choose the least invasive option that will get the job done.
- Unless a pest is invasive, we stay away from harsh chemicals and unnecessary treatments that could affect your family or the environment.
- We take our responsibility to the environment and your family seriously.

“Invicta – by far – was the best choice for us! It was incredibly helpful for me to be able to speak with Mike, their Entomologist, to talk ‘pests and chemicals’! Their pricing is fair and scheduling was so easy.”
“We interviewed a number of pest management companies serving Cary. Mike, Liza, and their team stood out for their expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism. We opted for the Grand Slam and Termite Plan, and couldn't be happier with their service.”
“They came out to the playground/garden space of a children's nonprofit in Durham and got rid of the imported red fire ants. With five children of their own, they won't consider using any substance that would hurt children.”
“Timely and effective. They first removed a yellow jacket nest from our outdoor storage shed. One and done. They were so nice and professional that we then decided to use them as our full time pest control company.”
“My daughter and I are extremely afraid of mice, my mind was at ease when Michael showed up at my door. We just moved into a new development in Zebulon…”
“I love these guys! We moved into a house that had pests and Invicta have carefully, kindly and thoroughly removed everything. Tristan is so knowledgeable and thoughtful, it's a pleasure to have him come over.”
