Alphachloralose
Coated Mung Beans
Alphachloralose Mung Beans offer an effective solution for managing nuisance pigeons. This premixed product acts as a mild sedative for pigeons, temporarily immobilising them without causing harm or distress. It represents a humane way to address issues related to these birds.
How it works
Alphachloralose targets the central nervous system of pigeons, reducing their body temperature and causing them to become lethargic. After consuming alphachloralose-coated mung beans, pigeons will enter a sedated state, making them easier to catch and remove. This method of control does not result in instant death but rather temporarily immobilises the birds, offering a humane way to handle pest populations.
Effectiveness for pigeon control
Alphachloralose has been proven effective in controlling pigeon populations in urban, industrial, and agricultural settings. It is especially useful in locations where other methods have failed or are impractical. The slow, sedative effect allows for the humane collection and relocation or disposal of pigeons, making it a reliable tool in integrated pest management strategies.
Safety Concerns
Human and Pet Safety
Although Mung beans are favoured by pigeons, precautions should be taken to prevent exposure to non-target animals and humans. Keep the product out of reach of children and pets by clearing the area of excess coated mung beans. If accidental ingestion occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
Environmental Impact
The controlled use of alphachloralose minimises risks to the environment when properly administered. While it is primarily designed for birds, we advise taking measures to prevent its consumption by other wildlife. Follow all safety instructions to ensure responsible use.
Legal Regulations
Before using alphachloralose-based products, it’s important to check local regulations. Some regions may require permits or have specific guidelines regarding its use for pigeon control. Our Alphachloralose Coated Mung Beans are compliant with relevant standards, but we recommend verifying legal requirements in your area to ensure responsible usage.
Application Methods
Alphachloralose Coated Mung Beans are easy to apply in areas frequented by pigeons. Scatter the bait in areas where pigeons are known to congregate, ensuring the product is placed in locations inaccessible to non-target species like pets or other birds. The pigeons will consume the bait, becoming sedated within a few hours, allowing for safe capture and removal.
