Silver Bullet Pest ControlScratching in the ceiling since the weather turned, droppings in the kitchen drawer, or a rat by the garage in Lake Hiawatha or Mount Tabor? Silver Bullet Pest Control serves Parsippany-Troy Hills for rats and mice. We remove them, seal the gaps they're using and come back to make sure it worked. Same-day is sometimes possible — and we'll tell you honestly when it isn't.

Same-day rat and mouse service in Parsippany, NJ is sometimes possible, but because Silver Bullet Pest Control is based in Garfield, most Parsippany visits are scheduled ahead. When we come, we find how the rodents get in, set traps where kids and pets can't reach them, seal the entry points and follow up; mouse service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls. Call or text 973-510-2585 for a free quote and the first open time.
We'd rather be straight with you than promise a time we can't keep. Our base is in Garfield, and most of our routes run through Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties. We serve Parsippany and other Morris County towns too — it's just a longer drive, so we plan those visits.
Closer to Garfield, same-day appointments are often available. For Parsippany, same-day is sometimes possible, and a scheduled visit is the norm.
Move cereal, pet food, birdseed and grass seed into hard containers. Rodents stay where food is easy.
Along the wall where you found droppings, baited with a little peanut butter. Keep them away from kids and pets, or skip this step.
Don't sweep or vacuum dry droppings. Spray them with disinfectant, wait a few minutes, then wipe up with gloves on.
Bait from the store can leave a rodent dying inside a wall, and it's dangerous for children, dogs and cats.
More tips: how to keep mice out of your garage and does one mouse mean more?
Use this to tell us what you're seeing — it helps us decide how fast we need to be there:
| What you notice | What it usually means | How urgent |
|---|---|---|
| Light scratching in the ceiling at night | Mice in the attic or between floors | Book soon; it spreads as it gets colder |
| Rice-sized droppings in drawers or under the sink | Mice feeding in the kitchen | Book soon; clean up safely |
| Larger, blunt droppings in the basement or garage | Rats | High; rats move fast and chew a lot |
| Holes along the foundation, deck or shed | Rat burrows outside | High; they lead to the house |
| Chewed wires in the garage or car | Mice or rats nesting nearby | High; fire and repair risk |
| Ammonia smell in a closet or cabinet | An active nest close by | Book soon |
Seeing a rat inside the living space or near food at a business? Tell us when you call — those visits get priority.
Parsippany-Troy Hills is a big township, and the way rodents get in changes with the building:
Around Lake Hiawatha and Lake Parsippany, many homes started as small cottages and were expanded over time. Every addition seam and crawl space is a possible way in, so we check the whole outline of the house.
Split-levels and ranches with attached garages are common in Mount Tabor and across the rest of town. The garage door seal and the gap where the garage meets the house are where we start.
Parsippany has many garden apartment complexes and office and light industrial buildings along Route 10, Route 46 and the I-80 and I-287 corridors. Shared walls and dumpsters need a building-wide plan, not one trap in one unit.
Garage, basement, kitchen, attic, utility lines, foundation, deck and trash area — we look for droppings, rub marks, burrows and every gap that matters.
Traps inside, placed where children and pets can't reach them. Locked, tamper-resistant stations outside where they make sense.
Gaps at pipes, wires, vents, garage doors and the foundation get closed with materials rodents can't chew through.
We return to check traps and activity and adjust. Mouse service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls in that time.
Sealing is the part that keeps them out. See rodent proofing and exclusion.
Worn bottom seals and gaps at the corners of the door. A mouse needs only a gap about the width of a pencil.
Where gas, water, AC lines and cable enter the house — often left with a gap after a contractor's work.
Where a lower roof meets a wall, and loose soffit or fascia. Mice climb siding; rats climb trees and wires.
Cracks, weep holes, crawl space vents and the line where the wood frame sits on the foundation.
Mice come in every fall as nights get cold. Our page on why mice love New Jersey homes explains why.
Every quote is free and based on what we find. These are the things that change it:
| Factor | Smaller job | Bigger job |
|---|---|---|
| Rodent | A few mice in one area | Rats, or mice on more than one floor |
| How long it's been going on | Just started | Months of droppings, nests in insulation |
| Building | Single-family home | Apartment building, office or warehouse |
| Entry points | A few small gaps | Many gaps, damaged vents, roof and foundation work |
| Cleanup | Light droppings | Contaminated attic insulation that needs removal and replacement |
Attic badly soiled? We handle attic insulation removal and replacement and odor cleanup ourselves.

Sometimes. We're based in Garfield, so Parsippany visits are usually scheduled ahead. Call or text early in the day; if a technician can reach you that day, we'll book it, and if not we'll give you the first real time slot.
Check the droppings. Mouse droppings are small and pointed, about the size of a grain of rice; rat droppings are larger and blunt. Mice usually leave no outside signs, while rats often leave burrows by the foundation, deck or shed. Text us a photo next to a coin.
Most homes see a big drop in activity within the first week or two once traps are placed and the entry points are sealed. Larger or older infestations, or buildings with shared walls, take longer. Follow-up visits are part of the service.
Yes. Mouse service includes 90 days of coverage with unlimited free service calls during that time. If you hear or see activity again within the 90 days, call us and we come back.
Inside we use traps placed where kids and pets can't get to them. Locked, tamper-resistant stations are used outside where they make sense. That avoids rodents dying inside walls and keeps bait away from children and pets.
As nights get colder, mice look for warm shelter and food and slip in through small gaps around garage doors, pipes and the foundation. Homes near woods, lakes and open land see it every year. Sealing before winter is the best prevention.
Yes. In garden apartments mice travel through shared walls, ceilings and utility chases, so treating one unit alone usually doesn't last. We look at the problem units, the units around them and common areas, and can explain what we find to management.
Yes. We do droppings cleanup, odor control and HEPA cleanup, and attic insulation removal and replacement ourselves when insulation is soiled. We'll tell you if your attic needs it or if a lighter cleanup is enough.
It depends on whether it's mice or rats, how long it's been going on, the size of the building and how many entry points need sealing. We give a free quote after hearing what you're seeing or looking at the property.
