Quick answer: 90 days, and we come back if roaches do
How does Silver Bullet's roach warranty work? Roach treatment from Silver Bullet Pest Control carries a 90-day warranty. If roaches are still active after treatment during those 90 days, call or text 973-510-2585 and we come back. A warranty works best when you do your part too: following the prep sheet, keeping food sealed and fixing leaks.
Why roach treatment needs a warranty period
Roach treatment isn't one-and-done. German cockroach egg cases protect the eggs inside, so new roaches can hatch after the first visit. Baits and growth regulators keep working as roaches feed and carry bait back to hiding spots, but it takes time to reach every roach in the walls, cabinets and appliances. A 90-day window covers that whole cycle, so if activity continues, you're not paying again to finish the job.
How to use the warranty
Note what you see
A few slow or dying roaches in the first week or two is normal as bait works. Healthy roaches running around weeks later is not.
Call or text us

What we see on these jobs
The three situations behind most of these calls in North Jersey:
German Cockroaches Indoors
- Small tan roaches in kitchens and bathrooms
- Pepper-like droppings in cabinet corners
- Egg cases behind appliances
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.
Oriental & American Roaches
- Big dark roaches in basements
- Roaches coming up floor drains
- More sightings after heavy rain
These come in from drains, sewers and damp crawl spaces. Fixing moisture and sealing entry points matters as much as treatment.
What Treatment Looks Like
- Inspection of kitchens, baths and utility lines
- Gel bait and growth regulator in hiding spots
- Follow-up to catch newly hatched roaches
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.
What helps the treatment work
- Follow the prep sheet: empty the cabinets we ask about and keep counters clear on treatment day.
- Don't spray store-bought bug spray on our bait. It repels roaches from the bait and slows everything down.
- Keep food in sealed containers, take trash out nightly and don't leave pet food out overnight.
- Fix dripping faucets and leaks under sinks. Roaches need water more than food.
- In apartments, tell the landlord. Roaches move between units, and treating the building works best.
Roach types we see in North Jersey
| Roach | Where you see it | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| German cockroach | Kitchens and bathrooms, inside cabinets and appliances | Breeds fastest; most common indoor roach |
| American cockroach | Basements, drains, boiler rooms | Large reddish-brown; often called a water bug |
| Oriental cockroach | Damp basements, crawl spaces | Dark and slow; likes cool, wet spots |
See our roach exterminator page for treatment details.
Simple ways to prevent it
Dry it out
Fix dripping faucets and pipes and wipe sinks dry at night. Roaches need water more than food.
Clean grease spots
Clean behind the stove and fridge, where grease and crumbs build up.
Skip cardboard
Cardboard boxes carry roaches in and give them a place to hide. Use plastic bins.
Seal pipe gaps
Close gaps where pipes come through walls under sinks; that's how roaches move between apartments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is Silver Bullet's roach warranty?
Roach treatment carries a 90-day warranty.
Is it normal to see roaches after treatment?
Seeing a few slow or dying roaches in the first week or two is normal while bait works. Healthy roaches weeks later means call us.
Do I need to do anything for the warranty?
Follow the prep sheet, avoid spraying store-bought bug spray on the bait, keep food sealed and fix leaks.
Do you treat restaurants?
Yes. We provide scheduled commercial pest control for restaurants, delis and other food businesses.
Is roach treatment safe for kids and pets?
We place bait and growth regulator in cracks and hiding spots, not on open surfaces, and we'll tell you about any precautions before we start.
Do I have to leave the house during roach treatment?
Usually not for a gel bait treatment. If any other product is used, we'll tell you how long to stay out of the treated area.
Why do I see more roaches right after treatment?
Bait and treatment can flush roaches out of hiding for a few days. That's normal and usually means it's working.
Can roaches live in electronics?
German roaches hide in warm spots like microwaves, coffee makers, routers and the backs of TVs.
What do roach droppings look like?
Small roaches leave tiny black specks like ground pepper; large roaches leave droppings shaped like small cylinders.
Do you treat apartment buildings?
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers, and treating several units at once works best.
Where do roaches hide during the day?
Behind and under the fridge and stove, under the sink, in cabinet hinges and corners, and in wall voids.
Does the warranty cover apartments?
Yes, for the unit we treat. Roaches move between units, so treating the building gives the best result.
