What the OvoControl Pigeon Control Program Is

Pigeons are a common issue in many urban areas across Oman—from Muscat to Salalah—often leading to property damage and potential health concerns. The OvoControl program offers a scientifically proven, humane method to manage pigeon populations safely and effectively. It works gradually, without causing harm to the birds.

OvoControl functions as a contraceptive, interrupting the pigeons’ reproductive cycle. This approach helps control overpopulation in a sustainable, non-lethal way.

By addressing the source of pigeon overpopulation, OvoControl delivers a responsible, long-term solution for pigeon management in Omani cities, industrial sites, and public spaces.

What are Benefits of OvoControl P

Long-Term

Effective

Humane

Traditional pigeon control methods in Oman often rely on trapping birds or blocking access to ledges, roofs, and other nesting spots. While these tactics can bring short-term relief, they usually fail to resolve large-scale or persistent infestations.

OvoControl offers a more effective and humane path to long-term pigeon control in Oman. When paired with our Integrated Pigeon Management (IPM) program—which also employs targeted physical exclusion—it creates a comprehensive, responsible strategy for managing bird populations across urban and industrial areas.

FAQs on Pigeon Control in Oman

Pigeons deface buildings with acidic droppings that stain and corrode stone, glass, and metal. Their nests block gutters and air-conditioning drains, creating leaks and water damage—an issue in Oman’s hot climate where rooftop A/C units are common. In busy areas such as Muttrah Souq or the corniche, droppings can create slip hazards, contaminate outdoor dining spaces, and attract insects.
Feral pigeons are not protected under Omani wildlife statutes, but municipal bylaws require humane control methods and prohibit unlicensed use of poisons. Professional pest-control companies must be approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources and adhere to animal-welfare guidelines set by Muscat Municipality and other regional authorities. Always confirm local rules before starting a control program.
A layered Integrated Pigeon Management (IPM) plan works best. Physical deterrents—bird spikes, stainless-steel mesh, and tensioned netting—stop roosting on ledges and signage. Visual repellents such as reflective tape or falcon silhouettes help in wide open courtyards. For long-term population control, OvoControl® bird contraceptive (registered for use across the GCC) limits breeding humanely. Combining these tools under a single program delivers sustainable results.
Yes. Pigeon droppings can harbor pathogens like histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and salmonella that become airborne as dust, especially on rooftop water tanks or shaded car parks. Nests may also introduce mites and ticks into buildings. Prompt removal of droppings and a proactive control plan reduce these public-health risks in homes, hotels, and food-handling areas.
