Vulture Removal in Green Spring Road Area

Vulture Removal in Green Spring Road Area

The Abingdon Police Department has received several complaints in the area of Green Spring Road regarding numerous vultures. These vultures can cause damage to houses, vehicles, and other property, as well as to livestock and pets. Other concerns include the accumulation of droppings and the odor on and near the homes.

After consulting with the USDA, the best option for removal of the vultures from the area is through the use of pyrotechnics (screamers and bird bombs) during their roosting and loafing times. Officers will be launching the pyrotechnics during the evening hours and occasionally morning hours depending upon the need for removal. The USDA recommends this process continue for up to two weeks.

If you have questions or concerns about this removal process, call the Abingdon Police Department at 276-628-3111.
