Environmental Stewardship

Sprague is committed to minimizing the environmental impact of our services.  Our philosophy:

1. We take specific, proactive actions to solve pest issues within the context of our natural ecology, even in the absence of regulatory mandates.
2. We seek to use the most permanent solutions with the least amount to material, waste, or disruption to the environment.
3. We explore and implement alternatives, innovation, technology, and advances in materials and methodology to reduce or replace pesticide use, and support the sustainability of the earth.

Integrated Pest Management is a foundational piece of our commitment to protecting people, food, and property from the numerous public health threats pests present, while at the same time lessening the environmental footprint of our services.
