Pest Control Company Blamed For Rash Of Bird Deaths
January 18, 2008
The DEC says a New Jersey company is to blame for the dozens of dead birds found in Eltingville and Great Kills last month.
DEC representatives say their investigation found that New Jersey-based company AAA Animal and Pest Control had been using Avitrol in Great Kills for a number of years to rid the area of birds.
Avitrol was banned from the city eight years ago because of the cruel affects of the chemicals and its potential to kill non-target species. The company, which is not a registered business in New York State, admitted to using the chemical and has been cited by the DEC.
Penalties for the use of Avitrol in New York City include fines of up to $5,000 for the first violation.
