CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - The state Board of Examiners has
approved spending $1.7 million to move Nevada Insurance Division
workers out of a pigeon-plagued office building that made some
employees sick.
Pigeons were found in the division's leased building about a
month ago. A chemical spray was used and the heating and cooling
system was replaced.
But about 75 workers reported feeling ill, and the governor's
office shut down the office Wednesday. Administrators don't know if
the effects were caused by the birds or chemicals.
The Board of Examiners made up of the governor, attorney general
and secretary of state approved a five-year lease for new office
space on Friday.

isn't that a lot to pay to get rid of some pigeons?we have pigeons where i live,and they say there is nothing they can do about it.and this is a brand new building.they say just hang wind chimes up,but not to drill holes in the building.what the hey?take that money and make jobs,get a cheaper building,these birds are everywhere!!!,and gross.pass a law and rid them,of where there are lots of them.
Bet a couple of kids with BB guns could have taken care of the whole deal for free and would have left no chemical smell.
