Silver Bullet Pest Control (973-510-2585, NJ License 90568B) seals homes and businesses in Bloomfield and the rest of Essex County against mice, rats, squirrels, raccoons, bats, birds and other animals by finding every entry point and closing it with durable materials such as metal mesh, hardware cloth, sealants, door sweeps, garage door seals, vent covers and chimney caps. We inspect first, tell you the price before any work starts, and can repair chewed or damaged areas once the animals are out. Same-day visits are often available, and we speak Spanish.
Many Bloomfield homes are older, and older houses have more foundation cracks, open utility penetrations, loose siding seams and gaps around garages and rooflines. Trapping or baiting only handles the animals already inside. Sealing the gaps is what stops new ones. These are the three problems we see most.
Mice squeeze through very small gaps around siding, garage doors, utility lines, pipe penetrations, sill plates and foundation cracks. Rats use larger openings at crawlspaces, bulkhead doors and drains. We seal them with metal mesh, hardware cloth, sealants, door sweeps and garage door rodent seals.
Squirrels and raccoons go after roof edges, soffit returns, fascia gaps, vents and chimneys. We screen vents, secure soffit gaps, reinforce roof returns and install chimney caps, then repair what they chewed.
Birds nest in vents, ledges and roofline openings. Bats use narrow gaps near ridge vents, fascia and dormers. Both need careful timing, especially with nesting birds, young animals or bats in summer, so we plan the work around that.
Different animals use different weak spots, so we match the sealing method to the spot and the animal.
| Animal | Where it usually gets in | How we seal it |
|---|---|---|
| Mice | Small gaps at siding, garage doors, utility lines, pipes, sill plates, foundation cracks | Metal mesh, sealants, door sweeps, garage door rodent seals |
| Rats | Larger gaps at foundations, crawlspaces, bulkhead doors, drains, lower walls | Hardware cloth, crawlspace screening, foundation repairs |
| Squirrels & raccoons | Roof returns, soffits, fascia, vents, chimneys, attic fans | Vent screens, secured soffit gaps, reinforced roof returns, chimney caps |
| Bats | Narrow gaps near ridge vents, fascia and dormers | Bat exclusion, timed and done legally |
| Birds | Dryer, gable and roof vents, ledges, solar panels | Vent guards, screening, solar panel bird proofing |
| Skunks, groundhogs, opossums, chipmunks, snakes | Under decks, porches and sheds, foundation gaps, low openings | Screening and closing the low openings |
Don't seal a hole while an animal is still inside. A trapped squirrel, raccoon or bat can chew a new way out or die in the wall. With bats there are also legal timing rules. See NJ bat laws and exclusion season.
We check the outside of the building and the attic and crawlspace when we can reach them, looking for rub marks, droppings, gnawing, nesting material and daylight gaps.
We show you each entry point, explain what's using it and how we'd seal it, and tell you the price before any work starts.
We close the gaps with materials chosen for each spot: metal mesh, hardware cloth, sealants, door sweeps, vent covers, screening or chimney caps.
If animals chewed into the attic or damaged insulation, soffits or fascia, we can repair it so the building stays protected.
Squirrels, raccoons and birds raise young in attics and vents. Timing matters, so we check for young animals before sealing.
A good time for roofline and vent work. Skunks and groundhogs dig under decks, porches and sheds.
As nights get colder, mice and rats look for a way inside. Sealing before this happens prevents most winter problems.
Rodents and squirrels already inside stay active. We find how they got in and seal it so new ones can't follow.
Commercial buildings get pests through door thresholds, loading dock seals, utility penetrations, floor drains, trash areas and roofline openings. We seal restaurants, warehouses, apartment buildings, offices, retail and mixed-use buildings. See commercial pest control.
It depends on how many entry points we find, how high they are, what materials each spot needs and whether there's damage to repair. We give a free quote and tell you the price before any work starts. See how much an exterminator costs in NJ.

Pest exclusion means finding and sealing the gaps, vents, cracks and construction openings that let mice, rats, squirrels, raccoons, bats, birds and other animals into a building. It fixes the way in instead of only treating the animals already inside.
They do different jobs. Trapping or baiting removes the animals you have now, and exclusion keeps new ones from getting in. The best plan usually combines inspection, control and sealing.
It depends on the materials, the condition of the building and how much animal pressure there is around it. Durable materials, proper repairs and routine inspections keep the protection working.
Yes. Bat exclusion is available, but timing and proper methods matter, and bat work has to be done carefully and legally.
It depends on how many entry points there are, how high they are, what materials are needed and whether there is damage to repair. We give a free quote and tell you the price before any work starts.
