Desert Locust Spraying

Desert Locust Spraying

BAC Helicopters operates the largest desert locust spraying helicopter fleet in Africa. Our professional team and comprehensively equipped helicopters are available for ad-hoc or long term contract deployment, at relatively short-notice.

The Desert Locust outbreak in East Africa during 2020 resulted in a threat to food security and an emergency humanitarian crisis in the region. BAC Helicopters was tasked to provide desert locust survey and control operations in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, by a prominent global NGO, in support of relief efforts in these countries. Locust spraying is a highly specialised service and our demonstrated performance and success in this field is what sets BAC Helicopters apart from other helicopter operators. Our locust spraying teams have gained invaluable experience and honed their skills in this specialised industry, ensuring that we get the job done efficiently and effectively.

No matter where you are located in the world, we will come to you. Please contact us for more information on how our experienced crew and ULV equipped helicopters can be of assistance to you.
