How will the DPI minimise the risks when it sprays?
In all its handling of control agents, the DPI will strictly comply with all safety requirements. In selecting areas to be sprayed, the DPI will strictly adhere to the buffer zones that have been developed and proven over many years by the Australian Plague Locust Commission. These buffers ensure that there will be no drift of insecticide into sensitive areas, such as: crops, animals, schools water bodies and residential areas that should not be sprayed.
