Small roaches showing up near doors and windows, mostly in the warm months, even though the kitchen is clean? Mediterranean spotted roaches live outside in leaf litter, mulch and plantings and wander in. Silver Bullet Pest Control treats the exterior perimeter and wall voids and seals where they get in, instead of relying on indoor treatment alone.

Silver Bullet Pest Control controls Mediterranean spotted roaches in Woodland Park and across Passaic County, NJ; call 973-510-2585 (NJ License 90568B). These roaches live in vegetation outside the house and wander in, so we treat the exterior perimeter and wall voids and seal entry points rather than relying on indoor treatment alone. We follow up with sticky-trap monitoring, photo logs, sanitation guidance and scheduled visits to confirm results. Same-day visits are often available, and we speak Spanish.
Woodland Park sits at the edge of Garret Mountain, with plenty of yards, shade trees and garden beds. That outdoor cover is exactly where Mediterranean spotted roaches live, and from there they wander into houses. These are the three things we look at.
Mediterranean spotted roaches spread through exterior vegetation, so the source is outside. We tailor an exterior perimeter treatment to the beds and borders closest to the house.
They don't need a big opening. Sealing the gaps where they come in means fewer of them make it inside, and void treatments catch the ones traveling through the walls.
German and Oriental cockroaches need a different plan. If inspection shows an indoor breeder, we use gel baits, insect growth regulators (IGRs) and crack-and-crevice treatments instead.
The type of roach decides where we treat. Getting it right is the difference between fixing the problem and spraying the wrong place.
| Roach | Where it lives | Breeds indoors? | How we treat it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mediterranean spotted | Outside in leaf litter, mulch and vegetation; wanders in | No, it comes in from outside | Exterior perimeter, void treatments and entry-point sealing |
| German | Kitchens and bathrooms, inside cabinets and appliances | Yes, and fast, all year | Gel bait, IGR rotation and crack-and-crevice treatment |
| Oriental | Basements, drains and damp utility areas | Yes, in damp areas | Void treatments, moisture fixes and sealing |
Spraying indoors won't stop roaches that live outside. If you keep seeing a few roaches near doors and windows, the fix is at the perimeter and the entry points.
We identify the species, how heavy the activity is and what around the house is drawing them in.
We map the perimeter, void and sealing work and tell you the price before any work starts.
We treat the exterior perimeter and wall voids where they travel, and seal the entry points.
Sticky traps and photo logs track what's still coming in, and scheduled follow-ups confirm results.
Activity rises as the ground warms. A good time for the first perimeter treatment and sealing.
Peak season. Roaches move through mulch and plantings and wander in through doors and windows.
Activity drops as it cools. Sealing gaps now cuts down on next year's sightings.
Outdoor activity is low. Roaches seen indoors in winter are more likely an indoor species like German roaches.
Offices, stores and multi-unit buildings with landscaped grounds can see these roaches at every entrance. We treat the perimeter and entry points on commercial properties too. See commercial pest control.
It depends on the species, the size of the property, how much perimeter and sealing work it needs and how many follow-ups it takes. We give a free quote and tell you the price before any work starts. See how much an exterminator costs in NJ.
Tell us what you're seeing and where. We'll get back to you fast, usually the same business day.
