ダスキンでは掃除機機能を持つドローンで巣やハチを吸い取る手法の駆除サービスをはじめました。
Duskin has been providing pest control services for a long time. Wasp extermination involves the risk of stings and the danger of working at heights as nests are sometimes built in high places. The drone has a vacuum function and sucked up the flying insects and the nest using a tube with a widened tip like a trumpet. Manual labor was considered essential to remove nests, but the use of drones dramatically increases safety.
