Can geese or ducks consume so much bait that they get too high a dose of OvoControl?
No. A single day dose that would be 3 to 4 times the recommended dose of OvoControl would not produce any toxic effects. In the event that this did occur, the result would be that blood levels of nicarbazin increase and absorption of the nicarbazin in the yolk of the egg would increase proportionally. In a recently completed field study in Oregon, some geese consumed up to 9x the recommended dose without any signs of toxicity. How much OvoControl does a goose or duck need to consume every day? Just one (1) ounce of OvoControl per goose per day will prevent eggs from hatching. OvoControl must be fed beginning 10-14 days prior to and until the end of the egg laying season. In practical terms, this means a baiting program starts in late February and ends in late April, a total of 10 weeks. For ducks, the program can last longer since the birds can lay eggs more than once a year. What does OvoControl Cost? Depending on your supplier, the cost of an OvoControl G program is roughly $12.00/go
