Facilities Management continue to investigate options to manage the pigeon population on campus.
After thorough consideration of various pest control strategies, and in response to increasing challenges posed by the growing pigeon population, we have decided to reintroduce previous methods of pest control.
This decision was not made lightly and follows extensive consultation with pest management experts, environmental professionals, and stakeholders.
Key factors influencing this decision include:
- Health and Safety: Pigeons are known carriers of diseases that can pose risks to human health. Their droppings also contribute to unsanitary conditions, particularly around heavily used campus areas.
- Property Damage: Pigeon activity has resulted in significant damage to building exteriors, ventilation systems, and public spaces, leading to costly repairs.
- Effectiveness: Despite our best efforts using alternative methods such as deterrents and humane trapping, the pigeon population has continued to grow.
It is important to note that any adopted methods will be conducted with the utmost care and adherence to ethical and legal standards. The university will collaborate with licensed professionals to ensure the process is safe and controlled.
