Fire Ants

The Department of Primary Industries has contracted McDermott Aviation to carry out it's entire aerial Fire Ant eradication control program which involves over 300 000 ha's being treated over a four year period, in and around the Brisbane City residential area.

Our company was the only operator with expertise to:

  • Design and manufacture bait application equipment
  • Meet the ISO 14000 quality standards
  • Operate aircraft in such heavily populated residential areas
  • Operate in major controlled airspace
  • Operate in amongst environmentally sensitive areas e.g. National Parks/Marine Parks.

Due to the success of the Fire ant contract, McDermott Aviation was chosen by Christmas Islands Parks North Australia to develop and conduct aerial application programs for the control-eradication of the 'Crazy-ant', which was having devastating effect on the crab and wild life population on Christmas Island the sucsses of this program has been well documented.
