Long-Term

Effective

Humane

In Chile, a lot of property owners continue to use traps or simply block off ledges, rooftops, and other areas where pigeons might land to discourage them. While these temporary fixes can provide some relief, they seldom eliminate large or established colonies permanently.

OvoControl presents a more humane and much longer-lasting solution. When implemented in conjunction with our Integrated Pigeon Management (IPM) strategy, which enhances results through selective physical barriers, it offers a comprehensive and responsible approach to managing pigeon populations in urban areas, commercial centers, and industrial regions of Chile.

FAQs on Pigeon Control in Chile

1. Are pigeons a health hazard to humans?

Pigeons can carry over 110 zoonotic diseases including Campylobacter species, Coxiella burnetii, Toxoplasma species, Escherichia coli O157 and Cryptococcus species. Although feral pigeons pose sporadic health risks to humans, the risk is very low, even for humans involved in occupations that bring them into close contact with nesting sites.

2. Is it legal to feed pigeons in Chile?

Structures made from limestone or calcium-rich sandstone are particularly susceptible to the damage caused by the acids found in bird droppings.
