The
fall migration will begin with the water and soil begin to freeze. canada
goose can be found on any type of grassy area that surrounds water, from
backyard ponds, to large lakes and rivers.
They breed throughout North America,
spring migration usually starts in late winter and will take several weeks to
complete.
Geese
feed mainly on land grazing on grassy plants and our lawns. In the spring and summer they can feed for up
to 12 hours a day. This extended feeding
leads to a lot of waste; a goose produces up to a pound of droppings a
day. Multiply that by hundreds of geese
and you have a big problem with goose droppings. This can lead to public health concerns in
parks, golf courses, and other public areas.
So
how do we keep these pest geese off of our property? The most effective method of goose control is
to eliminate their food source. Since we
cannot tear the lawn what do we do? You
make the lawn unpalatable to the geese.
There are products on the market that use a grape derivative
methylanthranilate to flavor the lawn.
It is easily sprayed on the lawn and will grow into the blades of grass
making it unpalatable to the geese.
Once
the food source is gone the canada
goose jackets move on to an area that will provide a more palatable
food. The goose repellent is safe to use
on private and public areas. It is food
grade so it will not pollute bodies of water or harm other animals or people.
Other
methods of goose control are sound deterrents and visual deterrents. These are most effective when used in
conjunction with the liquid goose deterrent mentioned above. Sound deterrents will play the sound of
distressed geese and predator calls to scare the geese away. Visual deterrents include Coyote Decoys that
scare the birds away; swan decoys also seem to keep the geese away. There are also services available that use
border collies to scare the geese.
This
method can get costly however, as the dogs will need to come out several times
before the geese leave completely. It is
best to use some sort of integrated approach to goose control. Using a visual deterrent and the liquid
deterrent seems to work the best. In this chilling winter, it is of utmost
important to get the perfect Canada goose outlet for you as well as for your
