Arrangements exist properly to deal with all ringed pigeons caught during control operations.
WASPS
Where wasps' nests are reasonably accessible the Department offers a service to destroy nests
causing a nuisance. A charge is made on the occupier of the premises for the service. The number
of nests dealt with annually fluctuates according to the weather; e.g. during 1969 some 129 nests
were dealt with whereas during 1968 the number was only 15.
