West Nile Virus and its potential life threatening health effects are here to stay. In the 1980's an emergency response to St. Louis Encephalitis was delivered by large aircraft in Canada. In 1999 in New York city a fleet of helicopters mounted an aerial assault on mosquitoes to halt the spread of the West Nile Virus.
Today many, Federal, Provincial, and Municipal agencies throughout Canada use helicopters as part of their overall integrated pest control strategy to reduce the incidence of mosquito borne vectors such as West Nile Virus.
Aerial Mapping of Breeding Sites
Zimmer air services has the GPS technology to map breeding sites by air to identity and monitor problem areas within your community. Ground surveys often completely miss or misinterpret the size and scope of breeding sites because these bog and swamp sites are generally inaccessible by ground to survey.
Aerial Application of either granular or liquid control products
An aerial map of the site using GPS and onboard computer software will provide accurate dimensions of the breeding site - taking the guess work out of how much product is required to effectively manage your biting fly program. The benefits of aerial application over ground application of either granular or liquid product to control larvae and adult biting fly populations are many ..... fast, accurate treatments to meet critical timing schedules; with onboard computer and GPS compatible software there are "no gaps in product coverage"; spray or granular product calibration based on exact site aerial mapping means "no product waste" and no double swathing. All of this adds up to a cost effective approach to managing your biting fly program. At the end of the program you will have accurate treatment records in either electronic data and / or paper form.
