About Turtleback Pest and Weed Control

Turtleback Pest & Weed Control: A Legacy of Service and Growth

Turtleback Pest & Weed Control has been proudly serving Sierra County since 1980, originally established by Bill and Ann Halford. In 1997, Jim and Linda Coy took the reins, guiding the company for twenty-six years and solidifying its reputation as a trusted local business. In 2023, Louis Schwab and Joanie DeBerry took ownership, continuing the legacy of quality pest and weed management while introducing a renewed vision and expanded expertise.

Why choose Turtleback Pest & Weed Control? Louis Schwab brings a wealth of experience as a successful entrepreneur. His business acumen and commitment to community make him a strong leader for Turtleback. Joanie DeBerry’s background as an agriculturist, with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Biology and a Master of Science in Entomology and Biological Control, complements Louis’s skills. With previous experience as a pest control business owner and a career teaching Biology, Chemistry, and Health Science, Joanie’s knowledge and passion for science-based solutions enhance the team’s capabilities.

We’re thrilled to celebrate two years of ownership and remain dedicated to delivering the outstanding service our customers know and trust. Your reliable technicians, Dan Mason and Bonnie Williams, continue to serve you with the same commitment and expertise. Both Louis and Joanie are also fully licensed and actively involved in fieldwork, ensuring hands-on leadership and support.
