Our Services

Drone/Aerial Pest Control

Our drone technology brings precision, efficiency, and access to areas where traditional methods fall short. From aerial spraying, seed spreading, and drone survey work to mapping, monitoring, and toxin application, we use UAVs and drone as a service models to deliver fast, accurate results across rugged, remote, and large-scale environments.

CAA-registered and fully certified, our operators hold chemical and night flying ratings, along with a Controlled Substance Licence, enabling safe aerial application of herbicides and pesticides, day or night. We also utilise thermal drone and Lidar drone technology to capture detailed environmental data and detect pest activity in real time.

Whether you’re managing plant pest infestations, tackling pest control for possums, or working on large-scale rat control projects, our drone solutions are designed to increase coverage and minimise environmental impact. Our team supports landowners, councils, and environmental organisations in everything from forestry planting, pest proofing, and cut and paste weed removal to aerial shooting and data-driven restoration planning.

Whether you’re targeting weeds or invasive animal pests, restoring land, or gathering vital data, our UAV and drone services are ready for the job.

  • Tank capacity: 80L
  • Spreading rate: 150kh/min
  • Spread width: 7-12m

Surveying And GIS Mapping

LRC utilise our drone GIS survey and mapping to plan projects, site mapping, perform volume calculations, monitoring and inspections.

Our drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras designed to capture detailed imagery from the air with RTK accuracy.

We have a range of drones that give us the capability to undertake all aspects of surveying and mapping.

  • LIDAR
  • Thermal Imaging
  • 2D and 3D

Thermal Drone Inspections

Longridge Contracting’s thermal drone capabilities are powered by the cutting-edge DJI Matrice series, delivering high-efficiency aerial monitoring with precision and reliability. Equipped with the Zenmuse H30T thermal camera, this platform offers advanced imaging for day and night operations, supported by a robust battery system, allowing us to cover vast areas.

Used for pre and post operation to determine the efficacy of control and pest population densities.

Drone Roof Cleaning

Removing moss, mould, and lichen from your roof is proven to protect your asset from premature failure and prolong the life of your roofing materials. LRC provides safe and effective cleaning of large, hard-to-access roofs, mitigating property damage and reducing health and safety risks associated with manual techniques.

Our drone-based approach allows us to reach challenging roof areas while maintaining the highest safety standards. Using drone services for roof washing ensures consistent, thorough cleaning results, even on steep or high-risk structures. This innovative method also supports pest proofing by reducing environments where moss and moisture can attract insects or other animal pests.

Safety,

Compliance,

Excellence

We are registered with the Civil Aviation Authority and meet all health and safety standards for aerial and ground-based operations.

Pilot Qualifications
Our certified pilots hold chemical ratings, controlled substance licences, and night flying ratings, enabling us to operate during optimal conditions when weather is more favourable or to increase operational productivity. Night operations are particularly valuable for our thermal drone imaging work, where most pest detection and monitoring activities are conducted under cover of darkness for maximum effectiveness. These operations play a key role in supporting possum control, pest control for possums, and other animal pest control programmes.
