drone services
Knowing what's actually on your land — and where — makes every control programme more effective. We offer fully licensed drone services, including day and night surveys to accurately count and locate animal populations across forestry, farm, and rural land. This gives you a clear picture before control work begins and solid, measurable results to check against afterwards. .
-
Population surveying, covering large or difficult blocks fast to build an accurate picture of pest numbers and distribution.
-
Detecting animals by heat signature — effective at night and in dense cover where a visual sighting isn't possible.
-
Identifying where browse damage, rooting, or ground disturbance is concentrated across a property.
-
Before-and-after comparison, flying the same block again after a control programme to check it's had the intended effect.
Why it matters
A drone flight gives us — and you — real numbers to work from, rather than an estimate based on what's visible from one vantage point. That means control effort and budget go where they're actually needed, and you've got a record to refer back to.
Drone work can be commissioned on its own — for population data, land assessment, or monitoring purposes — or as part of one of our pest control programmes.
