Tacoma, Wash.-based Sprague Pest Solutions has acquired MasterCare Pest Management, based in Phoenix, Ariz. As its first office in Arizona, the acquisition complements Sprague’s recent expansion into neighboring California and Nevada. Terms were not disclosed.

Owned by Tim Olson and his family since 2002, MasterCare is known for providing eco-friendly pest management services. Olson and his brother, Jeff, and their sons, Jared and Chris, have joined the Sprague team at the new Phoenix service center.

“Sprague’s technology, training and quality-based services fit perfectly with our commitment to service excellence,” Tim Olson said in a news release. “Our employees now have more career growth opportunities and access to a wider choice of benefits that we couldn’t afford as a smaller company. Our employees and long-time customers are excited to see us move forward with such an excellent company as Sprague.”
