Spraying
At Heli Rural, a significant portion of our operations revolves around aerial spraying. Our fleet includes two helicopters equipped with state-of-the-art spray equipment and specialised nozzles designed for drift reduction and optimal droplet size tailored to your specific application.
Aerial spraying with helicopters ensures minimal ground-based damage to crops, leading to increased yields. This becomes particularly crucial in situations where the terrain is too wet or steep for conventional trucks or tractors. The application of fungicides and insecticides via helicopter achieves a remarkable efficiency by delivering fine droplets up and under the canopy, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
When dealing with challenging brush-weeds like Gorse or Broom, helicopter spraying emerges as the most efficient method. Our approach involves applying a heavy water rate and making double passes to guarantee optimal results.
In the realm of forestry plantations, the undulating terrain and slash make aerial spraying, both pre and post-plant, the most viable option. We pride ourselves on our efficiency, typically reaching your location within a week or even sooner. Priority is given to more crucial spraying tasks, emphasizing our commitment to delivering exceptional and timely service. For detailed pricing information, feel free to reach out to Scott.

Mustering
The helicopter proves to be an ideal tool for mustering operations across expansive properties. Its remarkable speed and maneuverability allow for the swift and efficient coverage of vast areas in a remarkably short span. This means you can manage your mustering tasks with unprecedented efficiency, minimising the time and resources required.
Aerial mustering offers a unique advantage by eliminating the hindrances posed by fences and other ground-level obstacles. The helicopter's aerial perspective allows for a seamless and unobstructed roundup of animals, even in the most remote and challenging terrains. This ensures that every corner of your property is accessible, facilitating a comprehensive and successful mustering operation.
Whether it's gathering livestock for transportation, health checks, or strategic management, the helicopter's capabilities make it an invaluable asset in the realm of mustering. Its ability to navigate swiftly and overcome geographical obstacles guarantees a level of efficiency that is unparalleled in traditional ground-based mustering methods. Trust in the versatility of helicopters to transform your mustering operations, ensuring a thorough and effective approach to managing your expansive property.

Our approach is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring effective management of pest populations on your property. Additionally, if deer need to be removed, we collaborate with you to maximise returns from the harvested animals.
Scott, with his extensive hunting background and a genuine passion for spotting game, serves as the ideal pilot for pest control operations. His keen eye and adept skills enable him to identify animals in locations where they are not meant to be, facilitating targeted and efficient pest control measures.
For elusive creatures like pigs, particularly during the day, we offer thermal imaging heat-seeking equipment to enhance detection capabilities. This ensures a comprehensive approach to pest control, addressing both visible and less conspicuous threats.
Our team includes experienced helicopter shooters who are not only skilled marksmen but also farmers, ensuring a practical and cost-effective approach to pest control. We recognise that pest control is a necessary but challenging aspect of property management, and we are committed to providing effective solutions while keeping costs as reasonable as possible.
