The Pigeon Control Advisory Service (PiCAS) consists of two organisations providing expert and independent advice on non-lethal bird control with PiCAS International, the umbrella organisation, providing not-for-profit consultancy services to non-commercial clients worldwide and PiCAS UK providing a commercial consultancy services to clients in the UK.
This web page is an information only page and detailed information about the services offered by PiCAS International and PiCAS UK, together with a wealth of information about bird control, is provided on the PiCAS UK website at: www.picasuk.com
The Pigeon Control Advisory Service was formed to deal with an ever-increasing demand for advice on humane, sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to conventional bird controls such as culling. PiCAS International provides completely independent and non-commercially biased advice on the control of all species of birds but specialises in the control of pigeons. PiCAS International has no links or associations with any commercial organisation involved in providing bird control services nor does it sell pest control products.
PiCAS International’s goal is to change the way that wild bird populations are controlled worldwide. Conventional bird controls such as culling are not only completely ineffective and inhumane but will, in most cases, actually result in an increase in flock size. PiCAS International will never recommend a bird control product or service that will harm the target species. PiCAS International specialises in holistic bird control systems that deal with the source of the problem as well as the problem itself providing the client with a system that will be user-friendly and inexpensive to set up and maintain and completely effective.
PICAS International provides expert advice endorsing scientifically proven methods of control (where appropriate) and due to its independent status all advice provided is completely free from any vested interest. All PiCAS consultants are independent bird control experts, not pest control contractors, and give their time to the organisation on a pro bono basis further ensuring that the client will always be provided with advice based on their needs rather than profit.
Although PiCAS International specialises in area-wide control systems for birds it will provide advice to any individual or property owner that is experiencing a bird-related problem, irrespective of the scale or nature of the problem. PiCAS International’s clients range from individual householders with minor and easy to resolve problems through to city councils and large commercial organisations with entrenched area-wide problems.
PiCAS International will provide each client with a comprehensive and holistic control programme tailored to meet their specific requirements. Each control programme is designed to effect a sustainable and permanent reduction in bird numbers unlike lethal control options which have the opposite effect. PiCAS International offers a wide range of completely free consultancy service to its non-commercial client base worldwide using telephone, skype and the internet to exchange information and provide advice. These services are listed in full on the PiCAS UK website. PiCAS International cannot, however, provide free consultancy services to commercial organisations due to lack of resources. All consultancy services provided to commercial organisations outside the UK will be provided through PiCAS UK. PiCAS International restricts its service to those clients that are prepared to commit to a wholly non-lethal bird control system and will advise, but not work with any client that is actively using lethal methods of bird control.
PiCAS International’s free consultancy service is funded solely by donations from the public. PiCAS International does not receive any type of grant to fund its work nor does it pay salaries to its staff. As a result, every pound donated to PiCAS International goes directly to fund the infrastructure necessary to provide the service. As all PiCAS International consultants are acknowledged bird control experts and give their time for free the organisation offers a true alternative to the pest control industry where all advice provided is biased toward selling a product or service. All pest control contractors and those involved in selling conventional pest control services are salespersons and product installers, not experts in the field of bird control.
