Live Humane Trapping
At most locations, we begin with a conditioning phase, conditioning traps until feeding patterns are established. Once pigeons are conditioned to the site, traps are set to live capture and monitored as required by NWCO regulations. All traps are placed discreetly, sheltered from the elements, and stocked with food and water to minimize stress. Captured pigeons are handled responsibly in accordance with state requirements. By combining humane live trapping with professional oversight, we help you reduce flocks without compromising compassion or compliance. This forms the flock reduction phase of your program.
Why choose our flock reduction programs? They provide measurable relief from heavy pigeon pressure while laying the groundwork for long-term prevention. Programs are structured in phases: the flock reduction phase, followed by recommendations for additional deterrents such as Bird Netting, stainless-steel spikes, Optical Gel disks, or Electric Track Deterrent. This integrated strategy helps ensure your property stays protected well beyond the initial trapping period.
OvoControl – Long-Term Flock Management
For larger commercial and industrial properties where pigeon activity consistently returns, short-term flock reduction alone may not be enough. In these situations, we may recommend a managed OvoControl pigeon birth control program as part of your overall strategy. Dispensed once daily from an automated rooftop feeder, OvoControl is a humane, non-lethal reproductive control bait that prevents egg fertilization and gradually reduces flock size through natural attrition.
By pairing humane live trapping for immediate relief with long-term reproductive control for ongoing stabilization, our team can design a comprehensive program that addresses both current pressures and future flock growth at your facility.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are pigeon flock reduction programs humane?
Yes. Every flock reduction program is carried out by licensed Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators (NWCOs) in accordance with NYSDEC wildlife regulations. Live-capture traps are provisioned with food and water, protected from harsh weather, and inspected regularly to ensure the birds remain safe and unstressed throughout the process.
Are your flock reduction programs legally compliant?
Absolutely. All flock reduction work is conducted by licensed NWCOs in full compliance with NYSDEC regulations and humane handling protocols. The Ex-Terminators maintains complete documentation and reporting for every project, ensuring a clear and verifiable record of legal compliance.
How do you prevent pigeons from returning after trapping?
After the reduction phase, long-term deterrents are implemented — such as premium bird netting exclusion systems, stainless-steel spikes, Optical Gel disks, or electric track deterrents. These measures are paired with sanitation and food-source control to remove the conditions that attract pigeons, keeping properties protected and compliant.
Do you offer long-term pigeon population management options beyond trapping?
Yes. For large commercial and industrial properties, we may recommend a managed
OvoControl pigeon birth control program as part of a long-term population management strategy. OvoControl is a humane, NYSDEC-compliant reproductive control bait that reduces hatchability through natural attrition. When paired with humane flock reduction, it provides both immediate relief and predictable long-term population stability.
What happens to the pigeons after capture?
Captured pigeons are handled humanely by licensed wildlife operators under NYSDEC oversight. Transport, management, and documentation are performed according to regulated procedures that prioritize humane treatment, biosecurity, and environmental responsibility.
