What the OvoControl Pigeon Control Program Is

Pigeons are a widespread issue in many urban areas throughout Puerto Rico, 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 Puerto Rican cities and public spaces.

Traditional pigeon control methods in Puerto Rico often involve removing birds or sealing off access points. While these methods can provide temporary relief, they typically fall short in addressing long-term infestations or widespread problems.
