Scientific studies have proven that urban gulls will accept plastic imitation eggs in place of their own in the nest. Whilst incubating the imitation eggs, the gulls are quiet and less aggressive, reducing annoyance and attacks.
The environmentally friendly solution to nuisance seagull populations
Higher success rate of controlling gull populations in urban environments than traditional methods such as egg oiling
Easy to deploy
Gulls will incubate the imitation eggs for twice the normal incubation time (56-60 days)
Require fewer rooftop visits
Reusable the following year
Repeated replacement of imitation eggs in each breeding season, reduces the number of hatchlings and future recruits within treated areas
Nuisance populations in treated areas decline in the long term in an environmentally friendly and humane manner.
