Getting started

Call (651) 556-2666 or submit the inspection form. We'll call to confirm your appointment, review what you're seeing, and start with a free inspection before recommending any treatment.

Yes. Ankora offers free inspections for residential pest control across the Twin Cities metro. We identify the problem and explain your options before any work begins.

Same-day and next-day appointments are available when routing allows. For urgent issues like wasp nests or rodents, calling is the fastest way to check availability.

We serve Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding Twin Cities suburbs including Bloomington, Edina, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Eagan, Burnsville, Blaine and more. See our Service Area page for the full list.

Ankora focuses on residential pest control for Minnesota homes, and also handles rentals, condos, HOAs and small commercial properties. Reach out and we'll confirm whether your property fits our service model.

Pricing & quotes

Pricing depends on the pest, the size and condition of the home, and whether it's a one-time treatment or ongoing plan. We give an upfront, honest quote after the free inspection, with no surprise fees.

You choose. We offer one-time treatments, single-visit plans, and annual protection plans. You're never locked into more than you want.

No. We quote the price before we start, and the covered pests are re-treated free between scheduled visits if they come back.

Treatments & safety

Ankora uses eco-friendly, targeted methods and gives clear preparation and re-entry guidance. Your technician explains any precautions that apply to your specific treatment.

It means using the least-toxic effective method, placing products precisely where pests harbor instead of broad spraying, and fixing the conditions that attract pests in the first place.

Usually not for a standard inspection or targeted service. We'll explain any pet, child, or re-entry precautions before treatment starts.

Ants, carpenter ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, ticks, fleas, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, box elder bugs, and general pest pressure around Minnesota homes. Browse the Pest Library for specific guides.

Scheduling & guarantee

It depends on the pest and your prevention goals. Some issues need one focused treatment; others are better managed with a quarterly year-round protection plan.

Yes. If covered pests return between scheduled protection visits, we come back and address the issue at no additional cost.

Often same-day or next-day depending on the route and urgency. Call us and we'll find the soonest slot.

Yes. One-time treatment is available when a focused fix is the right call. We'll also tell you honestly when ongoing prevention would serve you better.
