We Get to Zero Roaches, and We Prove It
German cockroaches out-breed any can of spray. One female’s egg case is roughly forty nymphs, every few weeks, behind your fridge. Our protocol is gel bait rotated across visits, an insect growth regulator that shuts down breeding, and numbered sticky monitors that show the count falling until it reads zero.
- Gel bait in cabinet hinges, fridge motor housing, and under the sink lip, with rotated actives
- Insect growth regulator in harborage so nymphs can’t mature or reproduce
- Numbered sticky monitors that turn every follow-up into a count
- Source tracing to the secondhand appliance, delivery boxes, or shared plumbing wall
- Licensed, bonded & insured
- Free inspections
- Same-day service
- Re-service guarantee
- Eco-friendly methods
Why baiting works where bombing fails
No scatter effect
Foggers and repellent sprays drive German roaches deeper into wall voids and into the unit next door. Bait does the opposite: they eat it, carry it home, and poison the harborage.
Follow-ups to zero
Visits every two to three weeks, timed against the egg-case cycle, until the monitors come back empty. The schedule is the strategy.
Houses and buildings both
A single-family kitchen in Roseville and a shared plumbing chase in a St. Paul fourplex are different jobs. We treat accordingly, including coordinating adjacent units when spread is likely.
The Ankora guarantee
It starts with a free inspection: monitors placed, harborage located, and a straight assessment of how bad it actually is. After that, covered re-treats are on us. If monitors show activity after we’ve called the job done, we keep coming back at no charge until they read zero again.

Questions people ask before booking
Because a fogger is close to the worst tool for German roaches. The mist never reaches the cracks they hide in, the repellent effect scatters survivors into walls and neighboring rooms, and the residue contaminates surfaces so gel bait stops working afterward. Most people call us two foggers deep, and the job is harder for it.
A typical kitchen infestation takes two to four visits over six to eight weeks, since we have to outlast the egg cases already laid before we arrived. Heavy infestations, cluttered units, or an attached neighbor who won’t participate can stretch that, and you’ll hear it from us straight.
Almost certainly not. Those are Pennsylvania wood roaches, which fly toward porch lights from wooded areas in early summer, and they can’t survive or breed indoors, so they don’t infest. Text us a photo or bring one in and we’ll identify it free. If that’s what you’ve got, you may not need a treatment program at all.
