“Hi Innolytics, I just wanted to let you know that my pigeon population at my home on Oahu has been reduced to 2 dozen from at least 80 birds last March…. while using ovocontrol since then…..at times I would have a flock of 200 on my roof, but no more! your product has made a huge difference in our lives. The birds that live here now are healthy and no longer a nuisance for me. thank you, Gloria”

Makayla Zurn with ABC Channel 13 KTNV Action News reports on a pigeon feeding ordinance as well as the use of OvoControl by the Las Vegas Parks Department. See the video at http://www.ktnv.com/news/local/136589518.html. Just last month, Kevin Parker with Las Vegas Parks & Recreation was quoted by the Las Vegas Sun, expressing the Department’s satisfaction with the performance of OvoControl P at park facilities. While reducing food resources is vital to any pigeon control program, most sites require additional control measures. That said, anti-feeding ordinances are virtually impossible to enforce. In this case, however, it would provide the local authorities with some leverage to encourage well meaning “feeders” to discontinue their practices.

Innolytics announced today that the US EPA approved a label revision for OvoControl® P, the birth control product for pigeons.
The new label allows for the incidental exposure of OvoControl to English House sparrows and European starlings at treatment sites. Both of these pest birds can feed alongside pigeons on rooftop locations.
When fed to birds, OvoControl prevents fertilization of the eggs. Communities and businesses around the United States are increasingly adopting this cost effective technology to manage pigeons in larger areas without having to resort to avian toxicants and their associated risks.

Established in 2003, Innolytics, LLC is a privately held company that focuses on developing humane population management technology for wildlife. For further information, see the company website at www.ovocontrol.com.

Consistent with rodent and insect mitigation, bird control at food processing plants and facilities is a critical element for maintaining a clean and contamination free environment. Food processing facility managers are typically aware of the problems pest birds can cause. Many species of birds, including pigeons, starlings and sparrows, often gather to roost on a plant’s roof, under parking structures, in receiving bays and loading docks and especially where food or waste is available. Without effective bird control a serious food safety hazard and regulatory compliance issue can quickly develop. Read the rest of this entry »

Urban pigeons have the ability to learn the difference between people who will feed them and those who will chase them away, a French study has indicated.
Researchers suggested that this allowed birds to limit the time spent searching for food, and maximise the time eating.
The team said the study provided the first experimental evidence of feral pigeons using the ability to maximise benefits provided by urban areas.
The findings will be published in the journal Animal Cognition. Read the rest of this entry »
