Description

Mosquito control agencies continue expand the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS ) otherwise known as drones.  Over the past decade, federal and state regulation of drones has been rapidly evolving, and lack of clarity and frequent changes to regulations have cause confusion for mosquito control agencies starting to operate drones and start drone programs.  This webinar will provide an overview of current drone regulations that apply to common mosquito control drone operations like looking for or mapping standing water and applying mosquito control products.
