Scratching in the attic, something living under the deck, droppings by a vent? Silver Bullet Pest Control removes raccoons, squirrels, bats, birds, skunks and other animals humanely, seals every entry point so they can't get back in, and cleans up and repairs what they left behind.

Silver Bullet Pest Control handles humane wildlife removal and exclusion across northern New Jersey, including Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties; call 973-510-2585. We remove raccoons, squirrels, bats, birds, skunks, snakes, opossums and rodents, then seal entry points such as rooflines, soffits, vents, chimneys and foundation gaps so animals can't get back in. We also clean up droppings, nesting debris and contaminated insulation and repair chewed materials. Silver Bullet is based in Garfield, licensed and insured (NJ License 90568B), same-day service is often available, and we speak Spanish.
Older homes, mature trees and dense neighborhoods give animals easy ways onto roofs and into attics, chimneys and crawl spaces. Removing the animal is only half the job. Here are three common situations.
Raccoons are strong enough to pull open weak soffits and vents, and they often use attics and chimneys to raise their young. We remove them humanely, then seal and reinforce the opening.
Squirrels chew their way in at roof edges and gaps by gutters, then shred insulation and gnaw on wiring. One-way doors let them out, and we close the gap so they can't chew back in.
Bats squeeze through very small gaps at soffits, ridges and roof returns and roost in attics and wall voids. We exclude them with one-way devices, timed so no flightless pups are in the roost (early to mid summer) and following New Jersey wildlife guidance, then seal the gaps and clean up the guano.
Each animal causes different damage and needs a different removal plan. We handle all of these.
| Animal | Where you find it | What it does | How we handle it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raccoons | Attics, chimneys, soffits, crawl spaces | Tears open vents and soffits, leaves droppings | Humane removal, then seal and reinforce |
| Squirrels | Rooflines, attics, gaps by gutters | Chews wires and wood, tears insulation | One-way doors, then seal the entry |
| Bats | Attics and wall voids | Guano and odor in the attic | One-way devices timed around pup season, sealing, guano cleanup |
| Birds | Vents, roofs, eaves, chimneys | Nests block vents, droppings build up | Remove nests, screen and replace vents |
| Skunks | Under decks, sheds and porches | Digs dens, odor | Humane removal, then close the openings |
| Snakes | Basements, garages, foundation gaps | Comes in through gaps low on the house | Removal and sealing foundation gaps |
| Opossums | Beneath structures and decks | Nests under the house or deck | Humane removal, then close the openings |
| Mice & rats | Walls, basements, kitchens | Contamination, gnawing, fast breeding | Control plus rodent exclusion |
Don't seal the hole yourself while the animal is inside. Trapped animals chew new holes, and young left behind in an attic or under a deck cause bigger problems. Call us first. Bat in the living space? Don't touch it with bare hands. If anyone had contact with it, or it was found in a room where someone was sleeping, contact your doctor or local health department about possible rabies exposure.
We find entry points, nests, droppings, odors and hidden damage, and tell you the price before any work starts.
One-way doors and safe methods let animals leave without unnecessary harm.
We close every opening and fix chewed materials, vents and rooflines.
We remove waste, nesting debris and contaminated insulation, then sanitize.
Raccoons and squirrels have their young in attics and chimneys, and bats return to roosts. Plan removal around the young.
Skunks and opossums settle under decks and sheds, and snakes find gaps low on the house. Bat pups can't fly yet, so bat exclusion waits until they can.
Squirrels, mice and rats look for warm attics and walls. A good time to seal the house before winter.
Animals already inside stay put. Noises at night and droppings in the attic are signs to call before spring babies arrive.
Birds in vents, raccoons on a roof or rodents in a building affect tenants, customers and staff. We handle wildlife for multi-unit buildings and commercial properties. See commercial pest control.
It depends on the animal, how many entry points need sealing, how high the work is and how much cleanup or repair is needed. We give a free quote and tell you the price before any work starts. See how much an exterminator costs in NJ.
Tell us what you're seeing and where. We'll get back to you fast, usually the same business day.
