How do I find pest control in Hudson County, NJ?
Call or text Silver Bullet Pest Control at 973-510-2585: we're a licensed New Jersey exterminator (License 90568B) serving homes, apartment buildings and businesses in Hudson County, including Kearny, Harrison, Jersey City, Hoboken, Union City, West New York, North Bergen, Secaucus and Bayonne. Because so many Hudson County homes share walls, we inspect your unit and the spaces around it, treat roaches, mice, rats and bed bugs where they actually live and travel, seal entry points, and follow up. You get the price before any work starts.
Why pest control in Hudson County is different
Hudson County is the most densely populated county in New Jersey. Most people live in attached rowhouses, two- and three-family homes, walk-up apartment buildings or high-rise towers — often with a restaurant, bodega or laundromat on the ground floor. That density changes everything about pest control:
- Pests share walls with you. German roaches and bed bugs move between units through outlets, pipe openings and gaps under baseboards. Mice run the length of a block of attached houses inside the walls.
- Food is everywhere. Busy commercial strips like Bergenline Avenue, Central Avenue in the Jersey City Heights and Washington Street in Hoboken mean lots of restaurants and trash, which feeds rats and roaches.
- Old infrastructure. Many buildings are a century old, with settling foundations, old sewer connections and basements full of pipe penetrations.
- Water on every side. The Hudson, Hackensack and Passaic rivers, Newark Bay and the Meadowlands bring rats and mosquitoes close to homes.
The result: treating one apartment while ignoring the rest of the building often gives you a few quiet weeks and then the same problem again. We plan for the building, not just the room.
Hudson County exterminator for rats, roaches and bed bugs
The three pests behind most Hudson County calls, and how we handle each one.
Norway Rats & House Mice
- Rat burrows in tree pits, yards and along foundations
- Droppings in basements, under sinks and behind stoves
- Gnaw marks on doors, pipes and garbage cans
Rats live outside in burrows, trash areas and sewer connections; mice live inside walls. We use locked bait stations outside, traps inside, and seal openings with steel. Mouse and rodent service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls.
German Roaches
- Small tan roaches in the kitchen, often at night
- Roaches inside the microwave, coffee maker or fridge motor
- Musty smell and dark specks in cabinet corners
German roaches are the apartment roach. They breed fast and travel through plumbing walls. We use gel baits and crack-and-crevice treatment, and our roach treatment comes with a 90-day warranty.
Bed Bugs
- Bites when you wake up, often in a row
- Tiny dark spots on mattress seams and headboards
- Live bugs in couch cushions or behind outlet covers
Bed bugs come in on luggage, used furniture and visitors, and in apartment buildings they spread to neighboring units. We inspect, treat beds, furniture and cracks, and follow up.

For building owners, landlords, supers and condo boards
Inspect beyond one unit
When one tenant reports roaches or bed bugs, we look at the units next to, above and below, plus the compactor or trash room and basement.
Seal the building
Mice and rats travel along pipe chases, under doors and through basement gaps. We close those openings with steel mesh and sealant.
Clear records
We write down what we found, what we treated and what the building needs to fix, so owners and managers have a paper trail.
Regular service
Scheduled visits for common areas, basements and trash rooms catch problems early instead of waiting for complaints.
Who is responsible for pest control in a rental depends on the type of building, the lease and local rules, which can change. Check with your town's code enforcement office or the NJ Department of Community Affairs if you're not sure. Tenants can read pest control for renters.
How to get your apartment ready for roach or bed bug treatment
Clear the cabinets
For roach treatment, empty kitchen and bathroom cabinets so we can reach the cracks and hinges where roaches hide.
Bag and wash fabrics
For bed bugs, wash and dry bedding and clothes on high heat and keep them in sealed bags until after treatment.
Pull furniture from the walls
Move beds and couches a little away from walls so we can treat baseboards and outlets.
Don't move things to other rooms
Moving infested items around the apartment, or to a neighbor, spreads the problem.
Tell your neighbors or landlord
The best results come when nearby units are checked at the same time.
Rats, mosquitoes and pigeons along the waterfront
Hudson County has water on almost every side: the Hudson River to the east, the Hackensack River and the Meadowlands in the middle, Newark Bay and the Passaic River to the west, and the bay waters around Bayonne. That's great for views and parks like Liberty State Park, but it also shapes pest problems close to the water:
- Norway rats live along shorelines, rail lines, piers and construction sites. When a lot is dug up or a building comes down, rats move to the next block. Locked bait stations and sealing the house are the best defense.
- Mosquitoes breed in marsh edges and anywhere water sits — roof drains, planters, buckets and clogged gutters. Our mosquito treatment runs every 21 days starting at $95 per treatment plus tax, and we re-treat at no extra cost if they come back within 21 days.
- Pigeons roost on ledges, fire escapes, AC units and under bridges. Pigeon removal typically costs $400 to $1,000 depending on the size of the problem, the clean-up and the exclusion work. See pigeon removal and exclusion.
- Bats roost in the walls and attics of older houses, especially near parks. We're licensed by the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife and bat exclusion comes with a 5-year warranty.
