Small brown roaches scattering when you turn on the kitchen light, or hiding in the microwave and under the fridge? That's almost always the German cockroach. Silver Bullet Pest Control finds where they're breeding, treats crack-and-crevice with rotating gel baits and growth regulators, and comes back to check the results.

Silver Bullet Pest Control (NJ License 90568B) exterminates German cockroaches in homes, apartments and businesses in Englewood, NJ and across Bergen County: call 973-510-2585. German roaches breed fast in warm kitchens, so we rotate professional gel baits and insect growth regulators (IGRs) and apply them crack-and-crevice where the roaches hide. Sticky-trap monitoring with photo logs shows the population dropping, and you get a sanitation checklist and scheduled follow-up visits to check that activity is dropping. We're based in Garfield and we speak Spanish.
Englewood has apartment buildings, single-family neighborhoods and a busy downtown full of restaurants and shops. German cockroaches live indoors all year and spread wherever kitchens share walls and pipes. Here are three common situations.
German roaches love the warm motor housings of appliances and the cracks inside cabinets. One spray rarely reaches them all, which is why we use gel baits and IGRs right where they hide.
In apartment buildings, German roaches travel through walls, utility chases and plumbing lines. We treat the unit with activity and recommend checking the units around it so they don't just move next door.
Oriental cockroaches live in damp basements and drains and need a different plan than German roaches. We confirm the species on the first visit, because the wrong treatment wastes time.
Treatment depends on the species, so we identify it before we treat. These are the roaches we find in Englewood homes and businesses.
| Roach | What it looks like | Where it lives | How we treat it |
|---|---|---|---|
| German | Small, light brown, two dark stripes behind the head | Kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, cabinets | Gel bait and IGR rotation, crack-and-crevice, follow-ups |
| Oriental | Dark brown to black, shiny | Damp basements, drains, crawlspaces | Treat damp hiding spots and seal entry points |
| American | Large, reddish brown | Basements, drains, boiler rooms | Treat where they hide and close the way in |
Skip the bug bombs and store sprays. They scatter German roaches deeper into walls and into neighboring rooms or units, and they make bait treatments work worse.
We confirm the species, find how heavy the activity is and spot the conditions feeding it.
We lay out the bait and IGR rotation and where it goes, and tell you the price before any work starts.
Targeted crack-and-crevice placements and void treatments in kitchens, bathrooms and utility areas.
Sticky traps and photo logs track the drop, and we follow up with a sanitation checklist and adjust the plan as needed.
Roach activity starts climbing as buildings warm up, and outdoor species become more active too.
Heat and humidity speed up breeding. Activity is usually highest from spring through fall.
German roaches keep breeding in heated kitchens no matter the weather outside. A good time to start a program before the holidays.
German roaches don't slow down indoors. They stay active all winter in warm kitchens and buildings.
German roaches in a restaurant or apartment building need a plan for every affected area, not one unit at a time. We work with landlords, managers and food businesses. See commercial pest control.
It depends on the size of the property and how heavy the infestation is. We give a free quote and tell you the price before any work starts. See how much an exterminator costs in NJ.

They reproduce quickly and live indoors all year, especially in kitchens. One spray rarely reaches them all, so control takes treatment, sanitation and follow-ups together.
In kitchens, bars, basements, utility chases and the warm motor housings of appliances like fridges, microwaves and dishwashers.
Insect growth regulators stop young roaches from developing into breeding adults. Rotating them with gel baits helps collapse the population.
We place sticky traps and keep photo logs, so each follow-up visit shows whether activity is going down and where to adjust.
