Our story

Built in Tampa Bay. Built for Tampa Bay.

StrikeForce Pest Control was founded by Marcus Rivera in 2010 after a decade working as a field technician for a national pest chain. He watched large companies send undertrained technicians, apply generic treatments, and move on, leaving homeowners with the same problems six weeks later.

He started StrikeForce with a different standard. Every technician is state-certified, every treatment is species-specific, and every job gets a follow-up. No call centers. No national scripts. A local team that knows Florida pests because we live here too.

"I wanted to build the company I wished existed when I was the customer. One that actually solves the problem and stands behind the work."

Today StrikeForce serves all three counties of the Tampa Bay metro area and has grown entirely on referrals and five-star reviews. We've never run a bait-and-switch promotion, and we never will.

How we operate

The StrikeForce Standard.

Four commitments we make to every customer, on every job, every time.

Diagnose before treating

Every job starts with a thorough inspection. We identify the species, the source, and the severity before recommending or applying any treatment.

Stand behind the work

If pests return between scheduled visits, we return at no additional charge. Our guarantee is simple because we're confident in our results.

Respect the home

We show up on time, explain every step, use pet and child-safe products wherever possible, and leave the property cleaner than we found it.

Respond fast

Pest problems don't schedule themselves. We offer same-day service most days and 24-hour emergency response because waiting makes infestations worse.
