As part of a comprehensive town or city centre pigeon control mechanism, it is important to encourage commercial property owners to proof their properties in an effort to reduce pigeon occupancy and resultant soiling in key areas. 2, record 3, English, - pigeon%20control

... an effective program of pigeon control consists of making the designated area as uninviting as possible. For starters, don’t feed the birds and eliminate food and litter from the area. Excluding birds from an area and conditioning them to avoid the area are both effective and humane ways of dealing with a pigeon overpopulation problem. Very simple modifications in a building’s structure can discourage birds from landing or nesting on the building. Steel, wood, or stone angled on building ledges prevents pigeons from nesting in the holes. 3, record 3, English, - pigeon%20control

In order to effect better control over huge volumes of checks passing through the proof department in large banks, these banks have periodic "settlements" or "cut-offs" of work. Each "cut-off" is balanced and items are immediately released from the proof department after each "settlement. "This not only affords better control, but permits transit items to be mailed in several deliveries each business day. 2, record 4, English, - cut%2Doff
