There are some disbelievers. Many have pointed out that pigeons populations declining in one area will only be replaced by more pigeons from somewhere else. Others are concerned with the effects OvoControl P birth control pills will have on animals that prey on pigeons.

Innolytics has countered both of these concerns. In regards to new pigeon populations replacing those populations reduced in numbers by OvoControl P, an Innolytics representative believes using OvoControl P in conjunction with other repellents such as spike strips and high frequency audio deterrents will reduce this possibility.

Innolytics responds to fears that pigeon predators will be affected by pointing out that an active ingredient found in OvoControl P birth control pills does not readily enter the bloodstream of hawks and other animals.
