How we serve Upper Saddle River
We're based in Garfield, so Upper Saddle River is at the northern end of the area we cover regularly. Here's what that means for you:
- Visits are scheduled ahead. Most Upper Saddle River jobs are booked for a set day and time window. Same-day service is sometimes possible, especially for stinging insects near a door or an animal inside the living space.
- Photos first. Text pictures of the pest, droppings, nest or entry hole to 973-510-2585. On large properties, this lets us plan the inspection and bring the right ladders and exclusion materials the first time.
- One visit, whole property. When we come out, we look at the house, garage, deck and outbuildings together, so you don't end up booking separate trips for each problem.
We also cover neighboring towns like Saddle River and Mahwah, so nearby jobs are often grouped on the same days.
Main pests on Upper Saddle River properties
Squirrels, raccoons & bats
- Scratching in the attic at dawn
- Chewed soffit corners or vents
- Droppings or stains near gaps
Tall trees over big roofs make attics easy to reach. We remove the animals, seal the openings, and can repair chewed soffits, fascia and trim ourselves.
Ticks, fleas & mosquitoes
- Ticks on kids or dogs after the yard
- Mosquitoes on the patio at dusk
- Pets scratching in summer
Lawns that run into woods, stone walls and gardens are prime tick habitat, and deer and other wildlife carry fleas and ticks through the yard.
Wasps, hornets & carpenter bees
- Paper nests under eaves and in shrubs
- Yellow jackets in the lawn
- Round holes in fascia or deck boards
Large homes have a lot of eaves, decks, pergolas and pool areas for stinging insects. Carpenter bees drill into bare or weathered wood trim.
Big house, many entry points
The bigger the house, the more places a pest can get in. These are the spots we check on every Upper Saddle River inspection:
| Where | What gets in | How we fix it |
|---|---|---|
| Roofline, soffits and gable vents | Squirrels, bats, birds | Removal or one-way exclusion, then sealing; soffit and fascia repair |
| Chimneys | Raccoons, squirrels, birds | Chimney caps installed after any animals are out |
| Garage doors and mechanical rooms | Mice, rats | Door seals, stainless steel mesh around pipes and lines |
| Decks, porches and sheds | Skunks, groundhogs, rats | Buried L-shaped mesh barriers so they can't dig under |
| Rooftop solar panels | Squirrels, pigeons | Solar panel critter guards (mesh skirting around the array) |
| Dryer and exhaust vents | Birds, mice | Vent covers that let air out but keep animals out |
Exclusion is what keeps a big house pest-free over time. See animal proofing and exclusion and solar panel pest exclusion.
Ticks, fleas and mosquitoes on large, wooded yards
Upper Saddle River yards are big, green and often bordered by trees. That's great for families and bad for tick control. Ticks rest in leaf litter, tall grass and brush along the woods and stone walls, and wait for a person or pet to brush by.
Ticks: our yard treatments target the edges — the woods line, walls, gardens and shady play areas — instead of only the open lawn. Keep grass short near the woods and create a mulch or gravel strip between the trees and the lawn.
Fleas: start with your vet so every dog and cat is on flea treatment. Then the inside of the home and the shaded parts of the yard should be treated together. Deer, raccoons and other wildlife can bring fleas into the yard even if your pets rarely leave it. Read how to get rid of fleas in the house and yard.
Mosquitoes: pool covers, fountains, gutters, planters and tarps can all hold water. We treat the shady areas where mosquitoes rest and point out the water that breeds them. Mosquito treatment starts from $95 plus tax; larger properties are quoted by size. See mosquito spray for the yard.
Mice in large homes
Garages first
Multi-car garages with doors that open all day are the top mouse entry point we see on bigger homes.
Mechanical rooms
Mice follow pipes, wires and ducts from the basement into walls and finished spaces.
Attics and finished basements
Insulation and storage boxes make warm nests. Droppings there often go unnoticed for months.
Our mouse service
Trapping or baiting, sealing with stainless steel mesh, and 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls.
If the attic insulation is full of droppings, we can remove and replace it. See attic insulation removal and replacement.
Termites, carpenter ants and selling a home
Subterranean termites are active throughout Bergen County, and big homes with porches, decks, wood trim and landscaping against the foundation give them lots of places to start. Carpenter ants are common too, nesting in old trees and then in damp wood around windows, roof edges and decks.
We inspect, treat termite colonies, and our own crew repairs damaged wood after treatment — sill plates, joists, beams and framing. For carpenter ants we find and treat the nest and can repair damaged wood as well. See termite control and inspections and carpenter ant control.

Upper Saddle River Pest Control Questions
Do you offer pest control services in Upper Saddle River, NJ?
Yes. We serve Upper Saddle River from our base in Garfield. Visits are usually scheduled ahead, and same-day service is sometimes possible. We handle wildlife, mice and rats, ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, wasps, carpenter bees, ants and termites. Call or text 973-510-2585 for a free quote.
How soon can you come to Upper Saddle River?
Most jobs are booked for a set day, often within a few days depending on the schedule. For urgent problems, like a wasp nest at the front door or an animal inside the living space, call and we'll see if a same-day visit is possible.
Which pest control companies serve Upper Saddle River?
Several companies cover northern Bergen County. Silver Bullet Pest Control is a licensed company (NJ License 90568B) with 4.9 stars on Google. Whoever you choose, look for a real license, an inspection before treatment and clear written terms.
How do I get squirrels out of my attic?
The animals have to be removed or excluded with one-way doors, and every opening sealed, or new ones move in. We never seal an animal inside. After they're out, we repair chewed soffits, fascia and trim and can clean up or replace soiled insulation.
What's the best way to reduce ticks in a big wooded yard?
Treat the edges where ticks live — the woods line, stone walls, gardens and shady areas — and keep grass short. A mulch or gravel strip between the woods and lawn helps. Check kids and pets after time outdoors, and talk to your vet about tick protection.
How much does mosquito treatment cost?
Mosquito treatment starts from $95 plus tax. Larger or heavily wooded properties are quoted based on size and how much shady cover there is. Removing standing water from gutters, planters and pool covers makes treatments work better.
Can you keep squirrels out of my solar panels?
Yes. We install solar panel critter guards, a mesh skirt around the array that stops squirrels and pigeons from nesting underneath. If animals are already living there, we remove them first and then install the guard.
Do you treat carpenter bees?
Yes, we offer carpenter bee treatment. They drill round holes in bare or weathered wood like fascia, deck rails and pergolas. Treating the holes and later painting or staining the wood helps keep them from coming back each spring.
What does your mouse service include?
Trapping or baiting where it's safe, sealing entry points with stainless steel mesh, and 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls. On large homes we pay extra attention to garages, mechanical rooms and attics.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Silver Bullet Pest Control holds NJ License 90568B, is licensed by the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife for wildlife work, and has over 15 years of experience.
