Aerial Mouse Baiting
Mice can have a significant impact on your crop returns. Field Air provide aerial mouse baiting services to assist farmers maintain crop yields.
One hundred mice eat the same amount as one sheep. A pair of mice can breed up to 500 offspring in a single season. Each of those offspring can start breeding themselves from 6 weeks of age. Mouse populations on your property can quickly get out of hand.
Field Air can assist farmers with the aerial application of mouse baiting agents. All our aircraft are near new, and thus equipped with the best and most up to date satellite marking systems and application equipment. Aerial application saves crop tracking damage and is efficient and cost effective.
When to use Aerial Mouse Baiting
1. Plague conditions When paddock counts are above 800–1,000 mice per hectare and still climbing, aerial distribution covers your whole property in a day or two — ground baiting alone cannot get there in time. 2. Large area, short window If you have several thousand hectares to treat before harvest, before planting, or ahead of rain, the rate of coverage makes aerial the only practical option. 3. Remote or flooded country Some of the worst-affected paddocks are cut off by wet conditions during plague events. Aircraft get in regardless of what the access tracks look like.
