AERIAL SPRAYING
Aerial spraying refers to the treatment of any terrain, crop or forest by which a chemical or non-chemical agent is spread via airplane onto the targeted crop, plant or some parasite we want to spray.
It is particularly efficient and produces visible results, especially because of the speed and modernized techniques.
Aerial spraying is the first activity of the company,
ever since it was founded in 1993.
Our first business activity was been built on the quality of the service, efficiency and our clients’ satisfaction. Aside from the usual aerial spraying activities, such as spraying, fogging of various crops and woods or fertilizer spraying, we also dealt with landmine clearance of the afforested areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina by destroying impassable and overgrown sections via aerial spraying.
We also have to mention aerial spraying of swamp areas with the purpose of suppressing mosquito populations, and also mosquito control in bigger towns where aerial spraying is still necessary.
At the moment we are the only company left that is doing this type of work in the territory of the Republic of Croatia.
