Do pest control companies need a license in New Jersey?
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.
How do I know if an exterminator is licensed?
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.
How much does a licensed cockroach exterminator cost?
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.
How long does it take to get rid of cockroaches?
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.
Is professional roach treatment safe for my family?
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.
Why did store-bought spray not work on my roaches?
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.
Do you serve Berkeley Heights?
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.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
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.
Can you treat a condo or townhouse?
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.
