Drone pest mapping · Houston, TX

Treat only where the problem is.

Pestometry flies your property, finds pest activity from the air, and hands you a map of every problem spot. Treat the spots instead of guessing across every acre.

For golf courses, sod farms, sports complexes, ranches, farmland and municipal grounds.

Example scan for illustration. Mounds are shaded by severity, 1 to 5.
The problem

Broadcasting across every acre is slow, costly and wasteful.

Pest control on large properties has meant walking the ground, spotting problems late, and treating everything to be safe. We replace the guesswork with data.

The old way

Walk it, guess, treat it all

Every cell treated, including the ones that were fine.

  • Ground crews walk for days and still miss spots
  • Problems are found late, after they spread
  • Product and labor go to acres that didn't need it
  • No record of whether treatment worked
With Pestometry

Scan it, map it, spot-treat

Only the cells with detected activity get treated.

  • Drones survey hundreds of acres in a fraction of the time
  • Scans flag activity early, before it's obvious from the ground
  • Treatment goes only where the map says
  • Follow-up scans prove what worked
How it works

From flight to a map you can act on.

01

Fly

Our drones survey the whole property on a planned flight path, capturing imagery far faster than a ground crew.

visualthermalmultispectral
02

Detect

Every image is checked for specific pest signatures, so activity is found and counted across every acre.

03

Map

You get a geotagged map showing where each problem is and how severe it is, rated 1 to 5.

04

Treat & verify

Your crew or operator spot-treats. A follow-up scan shows what cleared and where reinfestation starts.

Who it's for

Built for large outdoor properties.

Golf courses

Protect fairways, greens and equipment. Spot-treat mounds before members find them.

Sod & turf farms

Catch outbreaks early on fields where damage spreads quickly and costs product.

Sports complexes

Cut liability on fields where players and spectators are on the ground.

Ranches

Protect livestock and pasture, and see where problems cluster across the whole property.

Agricultural land

Precision data that supports targeted, variable-rate or drone-based application.

Municipal grounds

Parks, schools and public land managed with a documented, season-over-season record.

Starting with fire ants

Every mound, found and counted.

Red imported fire ants are one of the most costly and persistent pests in Texas and across the Southeast. Mound counting is still mostly done by eye. We count them from the air, across the whole property.

Severity scale
1 Trace2 Low3 Mod.4 High5 Severe
Why it matters
Mounds damage turf and equipment, create liability on fields and courses, and hurt livestock and people.
What you get
A geotagged map of every active mound, rated by severity, so crews go straight to the problem.
Spot-treat
Treat active mounds only, instead of broadcasting across every acre.
Verify
Follow-up scans confirm which mounds cleared and document the result for your records.
Stay ahead
Scan history reveals reinfestation patterns before they spread.
Where it goes next

One platform for every pest that can be seen from above.

We are expanding to pests where aerial scanning has a real advantage over ground inspection on large acreage.

Available now

Fire ants

Mound detection, counts and severity mapping.

Next

Feral hogs

Locate sounders at night and map rooting damage by day to place traps.

Turf & crop insects

Armyworms, white grubs and chinch bugs show up as plant stress, often before visible damage.

Burrowing rodents

Pocket gophers, ground squirrels and prairie dogs leave mound and burrow patterns.

For pest control operators

We don't replace pest control. We make it smarter.

Pestometry is built to partner with pest control companies. Your crews get precise maps, and your clients get proof of results.

Become a partner

Less wasted product and labor

Send crews to mapped mounds instead of blanket routes.

Documented results

Before-and-after scans your clients can see for themselves.

Season-over-season history

Scan history reveals patterns, predicts hotspots and supports precision programs.

Why it matters

Precision agtech, applied to pest control.

Fewer chemicals

Targeted treatment keeps product out of the ground where it isn't needed.

Lower costs

Less product and fewer labor hours for owners and operators.

Faster response

Outbreaks are caught early, before they spread across the property.

Measured results

A record of what worked, instead of assuming it did.
