Using our services during the summer 
There is a lot that goes into our decision to recommend us coming out VS not recommending us to come out. To give you some context. July we found 7 lost animals but at the same time we recommended to several others not have us out. So what’s the difference?
Woods vs Fields
Recent sighting VS No sightings
Sunny VS Cloudy
Residential VS County
Woods VS Fields: Fields we can check because we can see to the ground with our thermal and our Camera In a normal woods setting we can miss well over half of it, then when we do get a heat signal the next battle is trying to see it with the camera to identify. This all takes time so after our two hours are up we have searched such a small area.
Recent sighting VS No sighting: Summer time everything takes longer so to go in blind not knowing where to start we once again can’t cover enough area to make much of a difference unless it’s a very open area.
Sunny VS cloudy: We won’t fly during sunny conditions, it’s just to easy to miss your pet, we wait until the sun is lower in the sky. The sun heats up everything where on cloudy days we can work very effectively.
Residential VS County: This is a personal choice we can fly residential areas but we chose not to. We avoid residential areas the best we can, we have had just to many issues with people concerned with there privacy. I actually do get this one, I wouldn’t want an unknown person flying a drone and hovering over my house either.
In closing we will still come out if you ask, we always try to be upfront what we are up against and what our chances are. Here are a couple of examples
Caller 1: In an agricultural area with a sighting nine hours ago, we 100% would recommend us coming.
Caller 2: In a heavily wooded area no sightings since it left a day ago, we would 100% recommend us not coming, but would always give the option to come if they wanted us to.
Caller 3: long leash still attached this is one circumstance I would suggest having us out No matter the circumstances
Caller 4: Agricultural area been gone three days no sightings this one I would suggest not having us out until there is a recent sighting 
Hope this gives you all a better understand how we determine when we suggest our services vs not. There is no rubber stamp when it comes to pet calls every situation is different so feel free to call.
