Why Our Pest Control Company Uses Drones for Site Surveys

Using drones for surveys to locate pest entry points offers several significant advantages over traditional methods, such as ladders. These benefits include safety, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Safety
Reduced Risk of Falls
As anyone who works from height will confirm, ladders pose a significant risk of falls, especially when inspecting hard-to-reach areas such as rooftops and eaves. Drones eliminate the need for ladders, thereby reducing the risk of injury.
Avoiding Dangerous Encounters
Approaching a live bees’ nest or other aggressive pests can be hazardous. Drones allow our bee removal, bird control, insect control, and rodent prevention experts at BEEKIND™ to maintain a safe distance while getting a close-up view, minimising the risk of stings or attacks.


Efficiency
Time-Saving
Drones can cover large areas quickly and reach difficult spots without the need for setup or repositioning, which is required with ladders. This efficiency significantly speeds up the survey process for our domestic and commercial pest control company.
Access to Unreachable Areas
Drones can easily navigate to difficult or impossible areas with a ladder, such as high roofs, tight spaces, or over obstacles. This is useful for determining the source for our woodworm treatments in high-ceilinged listed and heritage buildings throughout Yate.
Effectiveness
High-Resolution Imaging
Modern drones have high-resolution cameras that can capture detailed images and videos, making it easier to identify small holes or entry points that might be missed from the ground.
Thermal Imaging
Some drones come with thermal imaging capabilities, which can detect heat signatures from nests or pest clusters. This provides an additional tool for locating entry points. We also carry thermal imaging cameras to pin point the bee hive hidden in the cavity walls or roof space.

Drones can be used to collect data systematically and repeatedly, allowing for better tracking and analysis of pest activity over time. This real-time data can be reviewed and analysed to determine the best course of action for pest control.
They also provide a safer, more efficient, and often more accurate method for locating pest entry points than traditional ladder-based inspections. This technology enhances the ability to manage and control pest issues effectively while ensuring the safety of our team at BEEKIND™.
