<br />19 <br />Service Centers Nationwide <br /> <br /> <br />accumulated fecal matter. The surface from which this matter was removed will then be sprayed <br />by hand using an EPA registered Sterilizing agent that also contains a true odor neutralizer. <br /> <br />Habitat Modification: <br />For control of all Pest Bird Species, we must perform habitat modification. There are several methods <br />that can be used and all of them combine to the best solution available. Some of the methods we <br />use are spikes, shock track system, netting, and gels. Spiking involves the setting of stainless-steel <br />pigeon spikes being installed to prevent birds from continuing to roost. If birds, such as pigeons, <br />cannot land to roost they will go elsewhere. Netting is a very effective method for all pest bird <br />species. As a general description, stainless steel cable is installed using stainless steel clips or <br />eyebolts as our end anchors and intermediate anchors. The netting is then attached permanently <br />to the cable using stainless steel hog rings. Once the netting is installed the birds cannot access the <br />areas to roost, nest or gather food and water. The shock track system is very effective, but a costly <br />solution. The birds will receive a very mild shock when they try and land on the area. The shock will <br />not harm the birds, but it makes for an unpleasant experience. This system is completely safe for <br />the building. For a gel product we use optical gel, we have developed a great working relationship <br />with this company and have wonderful technical backup for any bird problem. <br /> <br />Trapping: <br />The key to effective trapping is pre-baiting; leaving the trap doors open so birds can freely walk in <br />and out, consuming water and feed and establishing an overall comfort with the trap. This pre- <br />baiting process should be for a minimum of 2 weeks. At the start of week 3, the one-way trap doors <br />are dropped so that when birds enter as they are accustomed to, they now find there is no way out. <br />Once the birds are trapped, we will euthanize them and dispose of the carcasses. <br /> <br />Chemical Methods of Control: <br />OvoControl P is a once-a-day application for the contraception of pigeons. This ready-to-use birth- <br />control-bait is designed specifically for feral pigeons and prevents egg fertilization. It is ideal for <br />wide area sites where population reduction is desired. The product is administered to the birds in <br />the form of pigeon friendly pellets as a once-a-day snack. The tool is non-lethal and supported by <br />all leading animal welfare organizations including HSUS and PETA as well as conservation groups <br />such as Audubon and the Peregrine Fund. <br /> <br />OvoControl P acts to slowly reduce the number of birds and enhance other tools in our pest bird <br />control arsenal (i.e., trapping and habitat modification). Under ideal conditions, with all pigeons in <br />the area consuming the appropriate dose during the breeding season the expected outcome is no <br />new pigeons. However, the average reduction in pigeon population is 3% per month. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 16D1C412-7260-4260-8A87-C870C0BEE374
