Why pests spread fast in Union City
Union City is often described as one of the most densely populated cities in the United States. It sits on top of the Palisades between West New York, North Bergen, Weehawken, Hoboken and Jersey City, and most of it is block after block of brick walk-ups, attached and closely spaced multi-family houses, and apartments over the shops on Bergenline Avenue and Summit Avenue.
When thousands of kitchens share walls, pipes and basements, pests don't stay put:
- German roaches travel along plumbing and electrical lines from one apartment to the next.
- Mice live in basements, behind boilers and in wall voids, and come up into units through pipe gaps under sinks and radiators.
- Norway rats dig in small back yards and along building foundations, feed from trash cans, and sometimes enter through broken sewer and drain lines.
- Bed bugs move with furniture, laundry and tenants changing apartments.
That's why we look beyond the one apartment that called, whenever the building allows it.
The three pests we treat most in Union City
German roaches in kitchens and baths
- Small brown roaches when the light goes on
- Droppings like pepper in cabinet corners
- More roaches after using foggers
Gel bait plus an insect growth regulator, then a follow-up visit. Roach treatment carries a 90-day warranty — and we can treat your car or work van too.
Rats in back yards and basements
- Burrows along the foundation or fence
- Gnawed trash cans
- Droppings in the basement or boiler room
We remove the rats, collapse and fill burrows once they're gone, and smoke-test drain lines when rats seem to come from the pipes.
Bed bugs in apartments
- Bites in a line in the morning
- Small dark spots on sheets and mattress seams
- Bugs in the couch or bed frame
We offer bed bug heat treatment and Aprehend, and we'll give you a clear prep list before the visit.

How our exterminators treat a whole Union City building
Start with the unit that called
Find where the pests are living and how they're getting in — usually the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms.
Check the neighbors and basement
The apartments above, below and beside, plus the basement, boiler room and trash area. That's often where the source is.
Treat and seal together
Treat the affected units at the same time and seal pipe and wire openings so pests can't simply move next door.
Follow up
A follow-up visit to confirm results. Owners can ask about scheduled service with records for each visit.
Building owners: see apartment building pest control and property management programs.
Restaurants, bakeries and shops on Bergenline Avenue
Bergenline Avenue is one of the busiest shopping streets in North Jersey, with restaurants, bakeries, groceries and small shops packed side by side, most with apartments upstairs. Roaches and mice move between the business and the homes above, and rats follow the trash at the curb and in the back.
- Service before opening or after closing so customers never see us.
- Gel bait and growth regulator in kitchens and prep areas, traps and monitors along walls and in storage.
- Sealing around pipes, drains and door bottoms.
- Written records after every visit for health inspections.

Landlord or tenant: who calls the exterminator?
| Situation | What to do first |
|---|---|
| You rent and see roaches, mice or bed bugs | Tell the landlord or super in writing with photos and dates, and keep a copy. |
| You own a two- or three-family house | Treat all units together; pests move between floors. |
| You manage a building | Set up scheduled service for common areas and treat problem units and their neighbors together. |
| You own a business with apartments above | Coordinate with the building owner so the shop and the units are treated together. |
Responsibilities can depend on the lease and building type, and rules can change. Check with Union City's code enforcement office or the NJ Department of Community Affairs. Our landlord vs. tenant guide and pest control for renters explain the basics.

Union City Pest Control Questions
Who is a good exterminator in Union City, NJ?
Silver Bullet Pest Control serves Union City from Garfield with NJ License 90568B, over 15 years of experience and 4.9 stars on Google. Call or text 973-510-2585; hablamos español.
Why do roaches keep coming back in my apartment?
They live in shared walls and travel along pipes between units. Gel bait, a growth regulator, a follow-up visit and treating neighboring units together is what stops the cycle.
Do foggers work on roaches?
Usually not. Foggers scatter roaches deeper into the walls and into other apartments. Gel bait with a growth regulator works far better.
Is there a warranty on roach treatment?
Yes. Roach treatment carries a 90-day warranty, and it also covers cars we treat.
How do rats get into a building?
Through gaps at the foundation and doors, and sometimes through broken drain or sewer lines. We smoke-test the lines to find the spot; a licensed plumber makes the repair.
Do you treat bed bugs with heat?
Yes. We offer bed bug heat treatment and Aprehend, and explain which fits your apartment.
Do you inspect for termites in Union City?
Yes. Older buildings with wood sills, stairs and framing can have termites. We inspect, treat and repair the damaged wood with our own crew.
Can you come the same day?
Same-day appointments are often available, but not guaranteed. We don't offer 24/7 service; call or text early in the day.
How much does an exterminator cost in Union City?
It depends on the pest, the number of units and how long it's been going on, so we give a free estimate first.
Who pays for pest control, the landlord or the tenant?
It depends on the lease, the building type and local rules. Report problems to your landlord in writing, and check with the city's code enforcement office if you're unsure.
