ABOUT THIS FRANCHISE
Pests Don’t Stand a Chance. Neither Does the Competition
At First Strike Pest Elimination, we are passionate about delivering top-quality services to meet the unique needs of our customers. Founded in Woodstock, GA by Manuel & Monique Cotrich, our mission has always been to provide innovative solutions that enhance everyday lives.

From the Founder
After spending 10 years as a pest control technician, I’ve had the privilege of gaining in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in tackling a wide range of pest problems. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills, developed a deep understanding of pest behavior, and learned the most effective, eco-friendly solutions to protect homes and businesses.
Throughout my career, I’ve always had a passion for providing excellent service and ensuring my clients feel safe and comfortable in their environments. After a decade of learning, growing, and building trust with customers, my wife and I decided it was time to take the next step and start my own pest control business – a business that reflects my values of honesty, integrity, and dedication to solving pest problems efficiently and effectively.
If you’re a technician or investor, a First Strike Pest Elimination franchise offers an unbeatable opportunity to join me in this high-demand industry with a winning platform.
