A clean house can still get roaches because roaches need water and shelter as much as food. They come in with boxes, groceries and secondhand items, move through shared walls and pipe chases from neighbors, come up drains, and find drips under sinks and behind appliances. Cleaning helps, but it won't stop an infestation on its own. Silver Bullet Pest Control: 973-510-2585.
| Roach | What it suggests |
|---|---|
| Small tan German roach | Breeding indoors, often from neighbors or a hitchhiker |
| Large dark roach in basement | Drains, moisture, outdoors |
| Wood roach near doors in spring | An outdoor roach that wandered in; usually doesn't breed indoors |
The three situations behind most of these calls in North Jersey:
The roach of NJ apartments and restaurants. It breeds fast and needs a baiting program plus a follow-up visit. Our roach treatment carries a 90-day warranty.
These come in from drains, sewers and damp crawl spaces. Fixing moisture and sealing entry points matters as much as treatment.
Bait placed where roaches live works better than spraying the open floor. Most homes see a big drop within days, and the follow-up finishes the job.
If you're seeing small tan roaches in the kitchen or bathroom, they're likely breeding, and treatment will save time. In multi-family buildings, treating several units together works best. See roach treatment (90-day warranty) and what actually kills roaches.
Fix dripping faucets and pipes and wipe sinks dry at night. Roaches need water more than food.
Clean behind the stove and fridge, where grease and crumbs build up.
Cardboard boxes carry roaches in and give them a place to hide. Use plastic bins.
Close gaps where pipes come through walls under sinks; that's how roaches move between apartments.
Tell us what you're seeing and where. A photo often lets us identify the pest right away. We answer 24/7 for emergencies.
A licensed tech finds the source: where the pest lives, how it gets in and what draws it.
We use the right method for the pest, placed where it works and kept away from kids and pets.
We close entry points and tell you what to change so the problem doesn't come back.

German roaches hide in warm spots like microwaves, coffee makers, routers and the backs of TVs.
Small roaches leave tiny black specks like ground pepper; large roaches leave droppings shaped like small cylinders.
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers, and treating several units at once works best.
