Crawl Space Encapsulation

Moisture plays a huge role in pest control and keeping your home healthy and comfortable. When humidity rises above 60%, the relative humidity for extended periods stimulates mold, mildew, and bacteria growth. Our Aprilaire dehumidifier provides a consistent percentage of humidity for you. Crawl spaces or normally damp areas of the home should be protected from high moisture to reduce the amount of pests in your home.
Your biggest investment is your home or business. Protect it from the dangers of moisture and ensure your home or business is free from pests or health concerns.
Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions serves the Sussex and Kent counties in Delaware and the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia.

Crawl Space & Basement Systems

Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions’ Crawl Space Encapsulation System will permanently solve your crawl space moisture problems. We eliminate the issues a wet or damp crawl space can cause, including wood-rot fungus, mold, mildew, and bugs like termites. Our expertise and proven solutions allow you to enjoy a drier, healthier, and more energy-efficient home. Additionally, incorporating a crawl space drainage system further ensures long-term moisture control.

Unlike a crawl space, it’s pretty easy to tell when your basement has moisture issues. Watch out for issues like water seepage or standing water due to flooding or poor drainage. Moisture problems in the basement can be even more dramatic and stressful than in a crawl space, especially since basements are often used daily. From storage to extra living space, basements serve many needs in your home, so don’t let water get in your way. Reach out to us today so you can start the crawl space encapsulation process and use your basement the way you want when you want.

Crawl Space Encapsulation Customer Experience

Good afternoon Dean. At this time, I would also like to thank you, your employees for an absolutely fantastic job done with my recent crawlspace encapsulation. The two young men from Bennett Termite started early in the morning, and stayed into early evening, finishing the entire tear out and installation in about 10 hours! And, left my property spotless! Two days later, Justin and Wally, arrived with the dehumidifier, and had the installation process done within a couple of hours. Justin explained the workings of the dehumidifier and the temperature/humidity parameters very clearly.

You have an excellent crew of workers. I would be remiss in not mentioning you, Dean, for coming over, checking out my crawlspace, and giving me the estimate – – it was surprising that you were able to get yourself bent over far enough to get into the crawlspace!!!!

Thank y’all again for a job well done…Dr. Andrejs Strauss

Customer Experiences

I needed a termite inspection for my VA Home Loan. Bennett Termite schedule the inspection quickly and showed up on time. The inspector was very polite and informative. Their fee was better than I expected. I would recommend Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions to anyone in need of the service.

Very happy with your service and price. Always done quickly and very flexible on changes of schedule.

Thank You!

Our first experience with Bennett Pest Control was approximately 4 years ago when we encountered our first “bed bug infestation” when a tenant moved out of a rental home. We had called a number of Pest Control companies who used a chemical treatment and would need to treat for 2-4 months. After calling Bennett Pest Control and meeting with Bruce, he explained the heat treatment, the cost, and the down time.

The heat treatment would kill everything in the home (ie; roaches, ants, spiders, bedbugs and their eggs) down time would be 6-8 hours, and cost was less than one month’s rent. Still, not sure as what to do, Bruce said “Let’s do this house, if you still are not convinced, or we have to come back for any reason, we will discount the cost.” We will also guarantee our work, and have a canine inspection upon completion.

Needless to say, the ONLY people I call when there is any signs or even a “maybe possible” sign of a bedbug when completing a move out inspection is Bennett Pest Control . They are fast, courteous, professional, and less expensive than having 2+ months of down time with no guarantee. We have never had to have Bennett Pest Control go back to re-treat. It is always 100% pest free after one treatment.

Thank you!

“I just wanted to let you know that I had the opportunity to speak with Keven today and he was fantastic. I was told that I had an issue at a rental property of mine in Fenwick. I needed you all to come out and treat it but I couldn’t be there. Kevin called me and explained everything and answered all of my questions in a way that made me feel like I was truly being taken care of. Keven is the reason I will remain a customer in the future.

Please thank him for earning you another customer.”

“I was very impressed with the professionalism of Robert and Dean yet also how kindly they treated me and my family. We were devastated to find that we had a problem. They assured us that we are not alone and would do everything they could to help us. Robert gave us all the information we needed to know with how to handle the situation. Under Dean’s care, Bennett acted swiftly and had our problem, and our stress level, under control in no time. We are so grateful to them for their service.”

“I want to take the time to let you know how I feel about your company and its performance. I provide Property Management for an extensive number of homes in both Delaware and Maryland. I have chosen Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions to service these rental properties as well as my personal homes because I have noticed the attention to details, the professional service and the response to my needs that the company provides. They respond quickly to any call and provide the monthly service at a very competitive rate. I can rely on Bennett to get the job done the first time whether performing routine maintenance or providing immediate service for problems.

I am a realtor and am in the unique position of seeing the types of service provided by a variety of pest control companies during the home inspections for the sale of properties. It is this knowledge that led me to switch all my managed properties and my personal homes to Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions.”

“I just wanted to write a quick note and tell you that I had a great customer service experience with Jared. I dealt with him on the telephone and I was very pleased with his degree of professionalism over the phone. He was warm, friendly and assured me if I needed anything, to just call back. He is definitely an asset to your business.”

“I’m sorry that it has taken me so long to acknowledge one of your employees. His name is Fred and he did a termite inspection for us back in Jan. of this year. Fred found a significant source of heat loss and security in our conditioned crawlspace. It turns out that our builder had not sealed the crawl space from the outside elements. Fred felt the draft and reported it to us. We have been very happy with your company for almost three years now and could not be happier. All of your employees are first rate and your service is top notch. Thank you for running such an efficient business!”

“I have been very satisfied with Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions’ overall attention to service and my needs. I had a kitchen full of ants and company arriving. I called Bennett Termite & Pest Solutions and they came to my aid as quickly as possible and saved my weekend.”

“I have been impressed with Dean and his team at Bennett Termite and Pest Solutions for my monthly home pest control services. Their professional service and knowledge is essential to protecting my home and property without risk to my children and pets. With their monthly service, the appearance of my lawn has improved and I am able to enjoy my yard without the annoyance of ants, flies, and mosquitoes.”

“We are so happy that we have Dean Bennett and his crew back on our home protection team. Dealing with a man who knows his stuff leaves us relaxed. It is both a rarity and a relief to deal with your company, confident that our best interests are your priority. Thank you for bringing your quality service to our home and to our community.”

“Right Property Management has done business with Dean Bennett for years and we find him to be extremely Customer Service Oriented. It is not unusual to call Dean with a problem and he says, “I’ll be there in a few minutes to check on it”. Can’t do any more than that for your customers.”

“Not only are Dean and his company quick to respond, they have even come out the same day we called to help us out. The company is easily reached, timely, responsive and friendly. We highly recommend Bennett Pest Solutions.”

I’ve been impressed with Bennett Termite Pest Control from the moment I called them hysterically. Their response time was the same day in addition to the next day coming out again to treat the interior of my house. I am very particular and cautious about people entering my home, but when the technician came to my home, he was professional, hardworking and reassuring my rodent problem would disappear. I not only chose Bennett because they are locals to the area and know how to treat problems, but they heard the urgency in my voice to help. I can rely on Bennett to get the job done right the first time.

Jennifer Sisk-Marshall

Mike, with Bennett pest control, has been Servicing my condo in Ocean City, Maryland since 2018. One thing that I love about Bennett is that they will assign you a technicians and then you have continuity with the same serving technician. Mike is very thorough. He also explains the products used and if I see any activity he is very good at finding where the creepy crawlers might be gaining access’s and also at eliminating the problem. Mike is always punctual and arrives during the scheduled time. He will call ahead to let us know he’s on his way too. I have been extremely pleased with Bennett pest control over the last 7 years. I have never once had a problem with the company or Mike as my technician. If my schedule needs to have the appointment changed they are very accommodating too.
I highly recommend Mike and Bennett Pest Control.
