OvoControl at a College Campus

April 28th, 2012

The recent case study about OvoControl performance at Pima College in Tucson is now available in pdf format.

With the support of Arizona Pest Control in Tucson, Pima College was able to resolve their chronic pigeon infestation.  Based on OvoControl and augmented by quarterly live trapping, Arizona Pest Control was able to overcome the rapid breeding characteristics of pigeons and the tendancy to simply “harvest” birds.  Click on the link for a full copy of the report.

In terms of pigeon control, a college campus is not a great deal different than many other pigeon impacted sites — manufacturing plants, power utilities, hotels, food processing or healthcare facilities — complex installations with multiple structures, expansive areas with available food, water and quality nesting areas.

Pigeons reside in territorial flocks, a social unit, and pairs mate for life.  That is one of the many reasons why a contraceptive program in this species is so effective.  OvoControl prevents reproduction and the population of pigeons gradually and predictably declines.  Large sites including dense urban areas and large industrial facilities are ideal to take advantage of the new technology.

OvoControl Now Registered in Israel

April 21st, 2012

Innolytics recently announced the registration of OvoControl P in Israel.

Dr. Alexander MacDonald, Innolytics’ CSO remarked, “Like so many urban areas, Israel is also plagued by too many pigeons. Many different communities and businesses are increasingly willing to the take the steps necessary to control the populations. As a contraceptive, OvoControl acts to limit reproduction and represents one of the most effective bird control techniques on the market today”.

“Israel is very sensitive to environmental and wildlife issues,” added Moshe Ben-Simon, Senior VP and Head of Life Science Division at Eldan, the OvoControl distributor in Israel. “There are just two ways to manage a population – either increase mortality or reduce reproduction,” added Ben-Simon. “Most conventional techniques focus on the former – the OvoControl technology on the latter strategy.”

Eldan, a part of the Neopharm group, a privately held company from Israel, is a leader in the marketing and sales of equipment, instrumentation and consumables in the areas of healthcare and life science. For detials see www.eldan.biz.
