How much does an exterminator cost in NJ?
Exterminator cost in NJ depends on the pest, the size of the problem and the building, so most honest companies quote after seeing the job. Two of our prices are fixed enough to publish: mosquito treatment starts from $95 plus tax, and pigeon removal runs $400 to $1,000. Everything else, from mice to termites to raccoons, gets a free quote from Silver Bullet Pest Control. Call or text 973-510-2585.
Exterminator prices we can publish
We only post a price when it holds for most jobs. These two do:
| Service | Price | What changes it |
|---|---|---|
| Mosquito treatment | From $95 plus tax | Yard size and how many treatments you want through the season |
| Pigeon removal | $400 to $1,000 | Size of the area, how many birds, nests and droppings, and how much exclusion work is needed |
| Everything else | Free quote | The pest, how big the problem is, the building and what has to be sealed or repaired |
More on these two: mosquito control and pigeon removal and exclusion.
Exterminator cost by pest: what drives each price
No made-up averages here. This is what actually moves the price for each kind of job:
| Pest | Smaller job | Bigger job | More detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mice | A few mice, one area, a couple of gaps | Several floors, nests in insulation, many entry points | Rat & mouse prices |
| Rats | Activity outside only | Rats inside, burrows, a building with many openings | Poison vs. traps |
| Roaches | One kitchen, caught early | Whole unit or building, heavy German roach population | Roach treatment cost |
| Bed bugs | One bedroom, found early | Several rooms or units, lots of clutter | Bed bug treatment cost |
| Termites | Small area, light activity | Large footprint, damage that needs wood repair | Termite treatment cost |
| Wasps & hornets | One low, exposed nest | High nest, nest inside a wall, several nests | Wasp nest removal cost |
| Wildlife | One entry hole, one animal | Many openings, babies, attic cleanup and insulation | Wildlife removal cost |
| Ants | One trail, one room | Carpenter ants in wood, colonies in walls | Ant exterminator cost |
The four things that set every exterminator's price
The pest
Some pests take one visit (most wasp nests). Others need bait, a growth regulator and a follow-up (roaches), or exclusion work (wildlife).
How big the problem is
A few mice caught early costs less than months of activity. The longer you wait, the bigger the job usually gets.
The building
A single-family home is simpler than a two-family or apartment building where pests move through shared walls.
Sealing and repair
Closing entry points, cleaning up an attic or repairing termite-damaged wood adds work, but it's what keeps the problem from coming back.
Distance matters a little too. We're based in Garfield, so Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson towns are our core area; Morris and Union towns are served on scheduled visits.
One-time treatment vs. recurring pest control
There are two ways people pay for pest control, and the right one depends on the problem.
One-time service
Best for a specific problem with a clear end: a wasp nest, a squirrel in the attic, a bed bug treatment, a termite job. You pay for that job and the follow-up it needs.
Recurring service
Best for homes and businesses that deal with pests every year, such as ants in spring, mice in fall and roaches in multi-family buildings. Regular visits keep small problems from becoming big ones, and our recurring service comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Ask us for current plan pricing.
See monthly and quarterly pest control and all-season pest protection.
What's included after you pay
Price only means something next to what you get. Here's what our confirmed coverage looks like:
| Service | What's included |
|---|---|
| Roach treatment | Gel bait, insect growth regulator and a follow-up visit, with a 90-day warranty |
| Mouse service | 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls in that time |
| Recurring service | 100% satisfaction guarantee |
| Termite treatment | We repair termite-damaged sill plates, joists, beams and framing ourselves after treatment (quoted separately) |
| Wildlife work | Exclusion, plus odor control, HEPA cleanup and attic insulation replacement when needed (quoted with the job) |
Always ask any company what happens if the pest comes back, and get the answer in writing.
Why the cheapest exterminator quote can cost more
A low phone price is tempting. Before you take it, check what it actually covers:
- Spray-only visits. Spraying baseboards doesn't reach German roaches in walls or seal a single mouse hole. The pests come back and you pay again.
- No entry point work. Trapping a squirrel or raccoon without sealing the hole leaves the door open for the next one.
- No follow-up. Roaches and mice usually need a return visit to finish the job. Ask if it's included.
- No license number. Pest control companies in New Jersey are licensed by the state. Ask for the number; ours is 90568B.
DIY can be cheaper for a small, early problem. If you're still seeing activity after a couple of weeks, the money you keep spending on sprays and traps would usually be better spent on one proper treatment.
Commercial exterminator cost
For restaurants, stores, warehouses and apartment buildings, price depends on the square footage, how many units or rooms need service, how often visits happen and what records you need for health inspections. Most businesses do best on scheduled service, with visits planned around business hours and a written report each time.

Exterminator Cost Questions
How much does an exterminator cost in NJ?
It depends on the pest, how big the problem is and the building, which is why most companies quote after seeing the job. Our published prices are mosquito treatment from $95 plus tax and pigeon removal at $400 to $1,000. Mice, roaches, bed bugs, termites, wasps and wildlife get a free quote based on what we find.
Why won't exterminators give a price over the phone?
Because two jobs with the same pest can be very different. A few mice in one kitchen and mice on three floors of a two-family house are not the same job. A photo and a few details often let us give you a good idea quickly, and the free quote confirms it once we see the property.
Is a monthly pest control plan worth it?
It's worth it if you deal with pests every year, live in a multi-family building, or run a business that needs inspection records. Regular visits catch problems early. Our recurring service comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. For a one-off problem like a single wasp nest, a one-time visit makes more sense. Ask us for current plan pricing.
Does the price include a follow-up visit?
For roaches, yes: our roach method is gel bait plus an insect growth regulator plus a follow-up visit, with a 90-day warranty. Mouse service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls. For other services we tell you exactly what follow-up is included in your quote, so ask before you book with anyone.
Is it cheaper to do pest control myself?
For a small, early problem, sometimes. Traps for one mouse or bait for a short ant trail can work. But store sprays and foggers often spread roaches and bed bugs, and wildlife needs exclusion work. If you're still seeing pests after a couple of weeks of DIY, a proper treatment is usually cheaper than continuing to buy products.
What makes wildlife removal cost more?
Number of entry points, how high the roof is, whether there are babies, and whether the attic needs cleanup. One squirrel hole on a ranch house is a small job; raccoons in a two-story attic with soiled insulation is a big one. We do odor control, HEPA cleanup and insulation replacement ourselves, and include that in the quote when it's needed.
How much does termite treatment cost in NJ?
Termite treatment is quoted after an inspection, because the price depends on the size of the home's footprint, the construction, where activity is found and whether wood needs repair. We repair termite-damaged sill plates, joists, beams and framing ourselves after treatment. See our termite treatment cost page for the full list of factors.
Do you charge for a quote?
No. The quote is free. Text a photo and the details to 973-510-2585 or call us, and we'll explain what the job involves and what it will cost before you decide anything. Some services, like a termite inspection for a home sale, are a separate service, so ask us about those.
Do you charge more for same-day service?
Same-day appointments are often available, and we'll tell you the price before we come so there are no surprises. Calling or texting in the morning gives us the best chance to fit you in the same day. Towns farther out in Morris and Union counties are usually scheduled ahead.
Is Silver Bullet a licensed exterminator?
