PIGEON BIRTH CONTROL PRODUCTS
How OvoControl® Works
Evicom are the Australian distributors for OvoControl® P. A specialised pigeon control program which is the most effective and humane solution to resolving pigeon problems.
OvoControl® — birth control for pigeons — is a proven, safe and effective solution for controlling the pigeon population when physical deterrents aren’t feasible or cost effective.
Due to their remarkable breeding capabilities, pigeons can represent a particularly challenging pest. The key to solving a chronic pigeon problem is to interrupt the constant breeding and repopulation of the flock with “birth control” for the birds.
The OvoControl® pigeon control program is ideal for large industrial facilities and other places where physical exclusion is not an option. With an OvoControl® program, the pigeon population will decline at a rate of 50%, annually, with an ending population of 5-10% of the starting point.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
OvoControl®P (nicarbazin 0.5%) is a ready-to-use bait that controls the reproduction of treated birds, causing the population to decline. This effective and humane technology is especially useful for managing pigeon flocks in large areas without having to resort to poisons and their associated risks.
For OvoControl’s contraceptive program to be effective, you must use an automatic feeder. The machine triggers and feeds the pigeons once a day so they receive the necessary amount of bait. Additional accessories can be purchased as below.
