How it works
Tell us about the property, the animals or the count.
Thermal surveys where needed, a risk assessment, airspace checks and landholder and neighbour notifications.
Experienced crews fly to approved procedures under our CASA ReOC, by day or night.
You receive a GPS-tagged report of tracks, counts and removals that stands up to auditors and agencies.
Case study · Feedlots
A large feedlot needed an independent, audit-grade head count without disrupting operations. We flew thermal drones over 360+ pens across 311 hectares in a single overnight window, with every animal counted and every pen geotagged.
Safety & compliance
Aerial control is designed against the species-specific National Codes of Practice and NATSOPs published on PestSmart.
Experienced shooters, appropriate firearms and thermal confirmation keep animal welfare front and centre.

From the field
4 November 2026 · 7 NEWS / feral pigs
Aerial pest control could be the key to tackling the feral pig problem as numbers explode across the state. The new program will use a helicopter to locate the wild boars and stop them before they wipe out hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of produce.

Testimonials
“The Greyman OPS team have always delivered highly professional, de-risked animal control programs to our mine, that have seen aerial culling deliver excellent value for money, with minimal interruption to our operations.”
“We utilised Greyman OPS specialist capabilities and substantial equipment on aerial destruction programs, embedding them into our team seamlessly.”
“Greyman OPS have been performing 6-weekly pigeon control services to our airline hangars for several years and we are very happy with the results. We had significant issues with pigeon waste on our aviation engineers’ tools and our parts, causing damage to paint and corrosion, as well as health risk to our team. Greyman OPS conducted initial intensive precision pigeon shoots to remove the resident birds, so we get them back every 4–6 weeks with their thermal scoped air rifles to make sure no more get established. Management and Engineers are really happy with the results.”
“Council engaged Greyman OPS to provide thermal drone operations to assist Rangers survey and count feral deer in urban properties. We expected to find 2 or 3, but the Greyman pilot located 12 animals on the site with their DJI Thermal drone within a few minutes, which enabled rangers to safely and humanely remove the deer with reduced effort.”
