What the OvoControl Pigeon Control Program Is

Pigeons are a frequent issue in many parts of Taiwan, where their droppings can damage buildings, create sanitation problems, and introduce potential health concerns. The OvoControl program provides a humane, scientifically supported way to manage pigeon numbers over time without causing harm to the birds.

OvoControl works as a contraceptive, gently disrupting the pigeons’ reproductive cycle. This non-lethal method supports long-term, sustainable population control and aligns with Taiwan’s emphasis on welfare-focused and environmentally friendly practices.

By addressing overpopulation at its source, OvoControl offers an effective, responsible solution for controlling pigeon activity across residential areas, commercial properties, and public spaces throughout Taiwan.

What are Benefits of OvoControl P

Long-Term

Effective

Humane

In Taiwan, many property owners continue to use traditional methods such as netting or blocking access to ledges and rooftops to keep pigeons away. While these solutions may provide temporary relief, they often fall short when dealing with larger or long-established pigeon populations.

For a more reliable and humane approach, OvoControl offers an excellent alternative. When combined with our Integrated Pigeon Management (IPM) strategy, which incorporates targeted physical barriers, it delivers a complete and effective solution for managing pigeons across residential, commercial, and industrial environments throughout Taiwan.

FAQs on Pigeon Control in Taiwan

Urban pigeon populations in Taiwan can damage buildings, block drainage systems, and create sanitation and public-health concerns. According to the Taipei City Government, the growing pigeon population has become both a public-health and ecological issue, especially in densely populated areas.
Yes. In many cities, including Taipei, feeding wild birds such as pigeons is banned in parks and public areas. The Parks and Street Lights Office states that violators can be fined NT$1,200–6,000 because feeding encourages overpopulation and creates sanitation challenges.
Taiwan commonly uses physical exclusion methods—such as nets, spikes, and ledge barriers—along with reducing food sources. The Taichung City Animal Protection Office also requires rooftop pigeon-keeping areas to be enclosed with mesh to limit droppings and prevent contamination among residential units. For larger-scale issues, combining these measures with long-term population management is recommended.
Yes. Overcrowded pigeon populations can increase the spread of diseases through droppings and attract pests such as mites and insects. The Taipei City Government has also noted that uncontrolled feeding significantly worsens ecological and public-health risks in urban zones.
Feral pigeons are generally not classified as protected wildlife in Taiwan. Municipal regulations—such as the Taipei City Park Management Regulations—prohibit feeding wild animals in public parks and allow fines for violations. Property owners must also comply with local building and health regulations when managing pigeon nesting on rooftops or structures.
