OvoControl P Now Approved in Australia

LA QUINTA, Calif. - Innolytics, together with Rocketman Distributors, initiated and has now received regulatory approval for OvoControl P in Australia.

“Many of the urban and industrial areas of the country are overwhelmed with pigeons,” said Erick Wolf, CEO of Innolytics, the manufacturer of OvoControl P. "Civic and governmental groups decided to do something proactive to drive down the population by adopting 'birth control' for pigeons.” 

The unique ecosystem of Australia includes a diverse array of avian species. Great care was taken by the regulatory agencies to ensure that OvoControl could be used in the market, safely and effectively, Innolytics reports. Rocketman in Australia coordinated the application and will distribute and represent OvoControl P in the country.

Rocketman’s manager in Australia, Fred Ferfolja, said, “OvoControl P represents a truly innovative approach for a market where pigeon control strategies have typically been limited to physical exclusion, scare tactics and lethal methods. OvoControl P provides the opportunity to abate the population of birds safely, effectively and humanely, gradually, but predictably.”

RSPCA and other animal welfare groups in Australia supported the approval of contraceptive control of pest birds as a non-lethal alternative to poisons, Innolytics said.       

OvoControl P is a ready-to-use bait, dispensed on flat rooftops with a mechanical feeder. This effective and humane technology is especially useful for managing pigeon flocks in larger facilities without having to resort to poisons or labor-intensive trapping programs.
