What You Should Know About Geese Control

By Timothy West


There is many different species of goose and they can cause problems for many people. One of the biggest problems associated with geese is their droppings. When geese become a problem then you will want to explore the different geese control options.

Many companies offer services for dealing with wildlife problems such as geese. Many homemade remedies exist that can be used for dealing with the problem. The homemade options can be a very cost-effective way to deal with the problem.

When you reach the point where you have had enough of the problems and you want to do something about it there is a number of options available. The first thing that you should do is to stop feeding the birds. These birds should not be feed in public area or on private land. It is important that the problem is dealt with before it becomes too big a problem. Making the property uninviting to the birds will help to reduce the problem and make controlling bird numbers a lot easier.

There is a lot of control methods that can be used to control geese without being lethal and it is possible to get help with these from companies who specialise in wildlife management. Regardless of whether you are dealing with geese on public or private land there is a lot that can be done and people can be alerted to the dangers of feeding geese.

Human food should not be fed to wildlife, as it is not good for their diet. When you take time to feed wildlife including geese they will get familiar with getting fed and will develop a routine and get domesticated. This behaviour will attract even more birds into the area.

One good way of dealing with this problem is to use decoys. A family of decoys can be a good way of preventing geese especially when they look like swans. These birds will still be looking for places to nest. Geese have a tendency to protect their young in a manner that is rather aggressive therefore birds will want to avoid this area. If decoys are left outside for long periods of time they can become an eyesore. These decoys can be used during the main migratory season in order to scare off the birds.

Restrict how easy it is to access water as this will ensure that the birds stay away from ponds and beaches. There is several methods to achieve this. One method is to build a dock which lines the edge of the water. This should be at a sufficient height so that they can climb easily onto it. A bird nesting or bird fence at the edge of the water will prevent easy access.

Geese tend to head for the water when they are threatened. When you make access to water difficult it will force the birds to find a different area to build their nest.

There is a lawn treatment spray which is good for controlling the problem. Methyl anthanilate is one of the ingredients in this spray. This is a high-grade substance which has been used for a number of years in food for flavouring. This substance is biodegradable and it is easily broken down.
