Species-specific. Harborage-targeted. Guaranteed results.
Most services treat the visible problem. We eliminate the source.
Cockroaches you see are foragers. The colony lives in wall voids, behind appliances, under cabinets, and near drains. Standard sprays miss these zones completely.
Common pyrethroid sprays cause cockroaches to avoid treated areas and relocate deeper. This creates the "it came back" cycle experienced by many Ankeny, IA homeowners.
German vs American cockroaches require completely different treatments. Wrong protocol = no results.
Non-repellent gel bait placed in confirmed harborage zones + IGR. Workers carry bait back to colony. Population collapse in 2-4 weeks.

A property manager contacted us after two prior services failed. Visible activity returned every 2-3 weeks for 10 months.
Our inspection found German cockroach harborage behind the dishwasher drain and inside the refrigerator motor compartment. Previous treatments never accessed these zones.

Counter foragers vs. wall void colony. These are not the same.
Gel bait carried back to the entire colony via trophallaxis.

We measure success. We don't assume it.
Almost always because prior treatment used baseboard or surface spray that kills foragers without reaching the harborage zone where the colony lives and breeds. The colony continues producing new foragers.
Bait protocol produces visible activity reduction within 3–7 days. Complete population collapse in moderate infestations takes two to four weeks.
