In New Jersey, businesses that apply pesticides for customers must be licensed by the state through the NJ Department of Environmental Protection's pesticide program, and the people doing the work must be trained and certified. A license isn't a marketing badge — it means the company is allowed to do the work and is accountable for how products are used in your home.
Here's what that means for you as a homeowner:
Silver Bullet Pest Control's NJ pesticide applicator business license number is 90568B. We've been doing this for over 15 years. Ask any company you're considering for its license number before work starts.
| Ask this | A good answer sounds like | A warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| What's your NJ license number? | A number given right away (ours is 90568B) | Vague answers or "we don't need one" |
| What kind of roach do I have? | They identify it from a photo or on the visit | Same treatment no matter what |
| How will you treat it? | Bait and growth regulator in the hiding spots, plus follow-up | Fogging or spraying every room |
| Is there a follow-up? | Yes — a return visit is part of the plan | One visit and done |
| What warranty comes with it? | A written warranty period (ours is 90 days for roach treatment) | No warranty, or nothing in writing |
| What should I do to prepare? | Clear instructions for kitchens, pets and sprays | No prep advice at all |

The one that truly infests homes. German roaches usually arrive in grocery bags, cardboard boxes, used appliances or furniture, and multiply fast in warm kitchens. They need bait, a growth regulator and a follow-up.
These big roaches come up from drains and damp spaces. Treatment focuses on the basement, drains, pipe gaps and the moisture that draws them.
Wooded lots mean outdoor roaches that wander in from leaf litter and woodpiles. They don't usually breed inside; sealing doors and gaps is the main fix.
Berkeley Heights is a wooded Union County township along the Passaic River, with mostly single-family homes on larger lots, plus townhouse and condo communities and office parks near I-78. That mix shapes the roach calls we get:
Berkeley Heights is farther from our Garfield base than our core Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson towns. We serve Berkeley Heights with visits scheduled ahead; same-day is sometimes possible. Texting a photo first helps us bring the right plan to the first visit.
We identify the roach and check kitchens, bathrooms, the basement, drains, garage and any shared walls to find where they hide and breed.
Bait goes in cracks, cabinet hinges, behind appliances and around pipes — right where roaches travel — instead of being sprayed across open rooms.
The IGR stops young roaches from maturing and breeding, which is what breaks the cycle with German roaches.
We point out leaks, pipe gaps, cardboard and food habits that keep roaches going, and what to seal.
We return to check, re-treat as needed and confirm they're gone. Roach treatment carries a 90-day warranty.
Bait and growth regulator go into cracks and hiding spots, out of reach, rather than onto floors and counters.
Licensed applicators use products as the label directs — that's part of what the license requires.
Babies, pets, fish tanks, allergies or asthma: let us know and we'll plan around them.
Store foggers spread product through the whole house and push roaches into walls. Stop them before we come.
Prep is simple: clear under the sinks, put food in sealed containers, get rid of extra cardboard and don't wipe the cracks where bait was placed.

Yes. Businesses that apply pesticides for customers in New Jersey must hold a state license through the NJ Department of Environmental Protection's pesticide program, and their applicators must be certified or trained. Silver Bullet Pest Control's business license number is 90568B. Always ask a company for its number before work begins.
Ask for the license number and check that it's on the paperwork they give you. A licensed company will give it right away and should be able to tell you which products they use and why. If the answer is vague, keep looking.
It depends on the type of roach, how widespread it is, the size and type of property and how many visits are needed. German roaches breeding in a kitchen take more work than a few drain roaches. We give a free quote after we understand the problem, often starting from a photo.
Most homes see a big drop within a couple of weeks. German roach problems usually need at least one follow-up visit because eggs hatch after the first treatment. Roach treatment carries a 90-day warranty, so you're covered while the cycle is broken.
Yes, when it's done correctly. We place gel bait and an insect growth regulator in cracks and hiding spots, not on open surfaces, and follow the product label. Tell us about babies, pets, allergies or asthma so we can plan around them.
Sprays kill the roaches you hit but don't reach where they breed, and they make the rest scatter into walls. German roaches can also learn to avoid treated areas. Bait plus a growth regulator works from the inside of the colony out.
Yes. Berkeley Heights is in Union County, which is farther from our Garfield base than our core counties, so visits are scheduled ahead. Same-day service is sometimes possible. Call or text 973-510-2585.
Usually not for long, because we treat cracks and hiding spots rather than the air. We'll tell you about any precautions for your home, kids and pets before we start.
Yes. With shared walls and plumbing, the best results come from treating your unit and the units next to it at the same time. We can explain what we find to your association or manager.
