Sprague Pest Solutions in recent times has doubled in size every four years and now protects homes and businesses throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and parts of Montana, Wyoming and Nevada. Sprague is run by third generation members Lawrence (Larry) and Alfred (Alfie) Treleven each of whom has a son in the business (Ross and A.J.).

  • Preparing the next generation to operate and own the business
