aerobugs - Australia, Queensland, Beerwah.
Tucked away north of Brisbane, along a winding road that traverses pine plantations, paperbark trees and creek crossings is Aerobugs Pty Ltd
The brainchild of Nathan Roy, Aerobugs is a commercial UAV operation licensed by Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to distribute preferential insects from the air over a variety of crops. These bugs, through their natural life cycle, kill pests that can destroy a number of crops including strawberries, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, pears and many more.
The use of preferential insects to kill pests in crop production has been used for decades and is constantly researched by Australia’s CSIRO. Normally insects are distributed by hand, either by foot or from a quad bike.
