Nutley is a compact Essex County township on the west bank of the Passaic River, with Clifton to the north, Belleville to the south and Bloomfield to the west. Route 21 runs along the river side of town, and the Third River winds through the middle of it, past green space and backyards. That mix of water, old trees and tightly spaced houses shapes the pest calls we get.
If you've been searching for "Nutley pest control" and only finding big regional companies, this page is for you: what we actually see in town, what we do about it, and how to get help fast.
Three problems account for most of our Nutley visits. Click through for the full details on each one.
Mice move indoors as soon as nights get cool, and Nutley's older foundations give them plenty of ways in. We trap, bait safely where needed, and seal the entry points. Mouse service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls in that time.
Pavement ants come in through slab cracks, while carpenter ants nest in damp wood around porches, decks and old window frames. We find the colony and treat it, then show you the moisture problem that drew them in.
German roaches live indoors near food and water and spread between units in multi-family buildings. Larger American and Oriental roaches come from drains and damp basements. Roach treatment carries a 90-day warranty.
What we're usually called for, season by season:
Carpenter ants and pavement ants wake up first. Termite swarmers can appear indoors near windows and basement walls on warm days. Squirrels and raccoons are raising young in attics and chimneys.
Yellowjackets, paper wasps and hornets build nests under eaves, in shrubs and in the ground. Mosquitoes breed in clogged gutters, buckets and low spots in the yard. Ants keep coming.
Mice and rats start moving into basements, garages and wall voids. Stink bugs gather on sunny siding and slip in around windows. Wasp nests are at their biggest and most defensive.
Rodent activity stays high indoors. Roaches and bed bugs don't care about the weather. It's a good time to seal gaps and plan for spring before the first ants show up.

Nutley's parks and the tree cover along the Third River give wildlife an easy path into residential blocks. Mature trees grow right over many roofs, which is how squirrels get onto the roofline and find a loose soffit or gable vent. Raccoons favor chimneys and the soft corners of older roofs, and bats can slip through gaps as small as a finger width.
Silver Bullet Pest Control is licensed by the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife for wildlife work. A typical wildlife job looks like this:
Bats are protected, and New Jersey limits when they can be excluded: April 1–30 and August 1–October 15, not May through July while pups are in the roost. If a bat was in a room with someone sleeping or with a child, don't release it; keep it contained and call the local health department about rabies testing.

Call or text 973-510-2585. A photo helps us identify the pest and plan the visit before we arrive. Same-day appointments are often available.
A licensed technician walks the inside and outside of the property and looks for the source: entry points, moisture, nests and harborage.
We treat where the pests live with targeted products, and seal or recommend sealing the gaps they use. You get a plain-English explanation of what was done.
For roaches and mice, follow-up visits are part of the plan. Regular service comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Kids or pets at home? Tell us when you book, and the technician will explain any precautions for your situation.
Nutley's main avenues are lined with restaurants, pizzerias, cafes, salons, offices and small stores. For food businesses, a single mouse or roach seen by a customer can do real damage, and a health inspection placard (Satisfactory, Conditionally Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory) hangs where everyone can see it.
See our commercial pest control and restaurant pest control pages for details.
