Thus, during the duration of the campaign, we will proceed to descaste level egg (drilling thereof) without destruction of nests and subsequent removal of nests, eggs and chicks, acting ultimately by capturing chicks and sacrifice the same.
Furthermore, it was also e l repellent product used use in the last three seasons for spraying nesting areas and their vicinity because it has been found that this method, combined with the other measures mentioned, is serving as a deterrent so that no re- nest in the same spot, as shown by reports by the pest control company Rafaela Belmonte.

From the data obtained, it can be concluded that the seagull population experiences a trend of population movement in favor of coastal zones, the result of pressure being exerted on the population in the urban campaign after campaign.
