The New OvoControl® Urban Feeder: When There Is No Handy Rooftop

Urban environments face unique challenges when it comes to managing pest populations. The OvoControl® Urban Feeder is our latest innovation in outdoor equipment, designed for permanent installation in public spaces such as parks, plazas, parking lots and other hard or paved surfaces where pigeons tend to gather. 

Resembling a trash receptacle, it seamlessly blends into its surroundings, ensuring minimal visual disruption. The protective cage at the base secures its advanced feeding mechanism, resulting in a robust and reliable solution for dispensing OvoControl. 

Key Features and Enhancements

The new feeder includes the following  innovative features,

  • Camouflaged Appearance: At first glance, the OvoControl® Urban Feeder looks like an urban waste receptacle. This intentional design choice allows the feeder to seamlessly blend into its surroundings, minimising visual disruption in parks, city streets, and other public areas. 

  • Sturdy Construction: Unlike previous models known for their mobility, the new OvoControl® Urban Feeder is built for permanence and is perfect for installation in outdoor public spaces. Its sturdy construction ensures that it remains firmly in place, providing a consistent and reliable solution for pigeon management. The feeder's reinforced design, including a cage-like base, offers protection for its internal components, which have been upgraded to enhance performance.

  • Innovative Feeding Mechanism: The OvoControl® Urban Feeder's enhanced dispensing unit is central to its operation. Featuring a directional feeder capable of dispensing bait across a specific arc, this innovative mechanism ensures the precise and targeted distribution of the kibbles. With a range of approximately 30 degrees, the feeder effectively targets areas of concern while minimising waste.

  • Ease of Maintenance: Besides its advanced features, the Urban Feeder is designed for ease of maintenance. The internal framework, constructed of galvanised steel, provides durability and resistance to rust. Handles facilitate easy removal and servicing of the feeder's internal unit, streamlining maintenance tasks for operators.

  • Safety and Reliability: it incorporates multiple safety measures to protect its vital components. A structural mesh enclosure surrounds the internal mechanics, ensuring safety and reliability. Furthermore, the feeder's robust external shell, made of treated metal, guarantees resilience, making it ideal for permanent installation in public spaces.

How the OvoControl® Urban Feeder Works

Component Overview:

Here's a breakdown of the essential components of the dispenser:

  • Protective Cage: Encircles the base, protecting the scattering mechanism.

  • Directional Dispensing: Projects bait within a 30-degree range for precise distribution.

  • Galvanised Steel Housing: Ensures durability and protection against the elements.

  • Integrated Funnel: Equipped with handles for easy removal and maintenance.

Assembly and Maintenance

Your interactions with the feeder during maintenance will require you to put aside any handheld devices to safely remove and manipulate these components.

  • Disassembly: Use the integrated handles to lift and remove the funnel. Then, position the dispenser on its side to access the automatic feeder at the bottom.

  • Triangular Support Plate: The funnel sits atop a triangular steel plate, which serves as a simple and stable resting point when disassembling.

  • Side Profile: Positioning the dispenser on its side will grant you access to the internal automatic feeder at the bottom of the bin.

  • Ejection Point: Located on the side, it facilitates the exit of bait from the dispenser.

Internal Structures

  • Metallic Three-Sided Base Platform: Provides a sturdy foundation, critical for stability.

  • Programmable Distribution Mechanism: Releases bait within a 15-degree arc for targeted distribution.

  • Ejection Portal: Strategically placed on the side for optimal bait dispersion.

Final Thoughts
