Laguna Pest Control celebrates sustainability win

What a year it’s been for Noosa’s own Laguna Pest Control.

The local powerhouse has just secured its fourth major accolade for 2025, taking out Large Business – Sustainability at the Sunshine Coast Business Awards on 8 November.

This latest honour caps off an impressive run.

In March, Laguna was named Champion Pest Control at the Australian Small Business Champion Awards.

In May, co-owner Nicky Turner represented Noosa internationally, receiving an Impact Award at the National Pest Managers Association Women’s Conference in Austin, Texas.

By August, the team was recognised as Best Pest Control Company at the Australian Trades Champion Awards in Sydney.

Laguna’s growth is rooted in its strong family foundation.

Now a team of 11, the business is led by owners Jay and Nicky Turner, with Jay bringing his expertise as a qualified biologist and entomologist. Their eldest daughter manages the office, while their son — also a qualified pest technician — supports both fieldwork and operations. Together, they’ve built a business grounded in integrity, innovation, and community.

Since 2017, Laguna’s PESTShield – Keen For Green Initiative has been transforming how people think about pest control, championing eco-friendly application methods and sustainable solutions that protect both homes and the environment.

Congratulations to the entire Laguna team — leading the way in sustainability and proudly representing Noosa on the local and national stage.
