OvoControl Now Registered Internationally for Use in the UAE

Innolytics’ distributor in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Desert Kings DXB, sponsored and received the registration for OvoControl P. This represents the first Middle East market to officially grant a registration for the pigeon friendly product.

OvoControl P is a ready-to-use bait, dispensed on flat surfaces with a mechanical feeder. The technology helps manage pigeon flocks in larger facilities.

Nestled between Oman and Qatar on the Persian Gulf, UAE, like many other developed countries, has pigeon infestations that require management. In the UAE, however, simply killing the birds with lethal techniques – trap, shoot or poison – is either prohibited or socially unacceptable.

OvoControl fills the need for an environmentally benign, safe and effective pigeon management tool which can be integrated with conventional control methods, the company said. Desert Kings DXB has exclusive distribution rights for OvoControl in both the UAE and Oman.

James Oertel, President of Desert Kings, said, “OvoControl complements our existing strategies for the management of pigeons and other pest birds in high value areas of the UAE. We are looking forward to introducing contraceptive technology for the safe and humane treatment of pest birds in our markets.”
