Gorse & Broom Spraying
Built for the South Island's Steepest, Hardest-to-Reach Country
Gorse and broom take hold fastest in exactly the places that are hardest to treat - steep faces, gullies, and blocks where a ground spray rig can't safely go and hand-clearing is slow, costly, and dangerous. Our drone spraying service reaches this country directly, applying targeted herbicide precisely where the infestation is, without needing access tracks or ground disturbance.
This makes it a practical option for hill country stations, forestry blocks, and any property where gorse and broom have taken hold on terrain traditional methods struggle to reach.
PRECISION & CONTROL
GPS-Guided Accuracy on Steep and Uneven Ground
Using GPS-guided flight paths, we map the exact extent of the infestation and apply herbicide only where it's needed - minimising overlap, reducing chemical waste, and protecting surrounding pasture, waterways and native vegetation from unnecessary spray drift.
Because the drone flies low and slow, coverage stays accurate even on steep or uneven ground where traditional spraying methods often leave gaps or double up.
A Safer, More Efficient Alternative
Manual clearing and ground-based spraying on steep gorse and broom country carries real risk - for the person doing the work and for the ground itself. Drone spraying removes the need to physically access the infestation, making it a safer option, and a more cost-effective one than bringing in a helicopter for smaller or scattered areas.
We provide gorse and broom spraying across Otago, Southland, Westland and the Mackenzie District - combining local knowledge of the terrain with precise drone technology to help landowners get on top of infestations before they spread further.
