Geese problems on grass & lawns, stop geese from damaging lawns

Geese Problems on grass and lawns -
When geese are eating or damaging turf, apply Migrate Taste Deterrent to the grass in grazing areas to make the grass unpalatable to geese without hurting them. In addition, pairs of Dead Geese Decoys can be deployed on the problem area. From fences, or low hanging branches or bushes hang Holographic Owls, Scare Eye Balloons and strips of Mylar Tape and Repel Strips. Also install Away with Geese Land & Residental Based Unit & the Away with Geese Water Based Geese Deterrent near the problem area to disrupt the geese sleep pattern. Also a few Gull-Cat Bird Deterrenton your lawn will also help scare pesky geese. For large flocks of geese we recommend X-Trme Goose Problem Control Kit. Set the visual bird deterrents in and around the problem area. We also recommend adding a few Coyote Predator Decoys.

Solutions for geese damaging agriculture, wetlands, tailing ponds -
For larger areas of land experiencing geese problems, the same tactic of combining audio &visual bird deterrents should be deployed as they increase the birds fear and flight response to the perceived predator threat.

The Vineyards Bird Wailer and Wetlands Bird Wailer^TM audio bird deterrent system is highly effective at keeping birds away from large plots of land or water. The Bird Wailer is not a ‘scare’ system relying on loud noises, but instead, creates a "No Fly" zone of rotational, surround sound at normaldb’s making it uncomfortable for the birds to remain in the area. The Bird Wailer can cover up to 20 acres and is custom programmed for the geographic location with species-specific sound deterrents. The Zon Gun

A lightweight portable propane-fired cannon emits automatic thunderclaps that deter pest birds and other nuisance wildlife. The Zon Gun has long been used to keep geese away from parks, lakes, farms, oil spills. Another new product is the hand held Avian Dissuader, which is a humane bird scare device that moves pest birds with a laser. The Avian Dissuader is a great tool for proactively moving birds at dusk and dawn. It’s primarily used to deny targeted birds their desired roost. Forcing birds to a different overnight roost usually means that they go somewhere else to forage during the day. Also to deter flocks from the area flying a Flying Falcon Bird Deterrent over the area has been shown to be effective.

Geese problem solutions using audio & visual geese deterrents

Canadian geese no longer migrate as frequently as they once did. Now we have ever-growing numbers of non-migratory geese taking up residence wherever they please. This includes ponds, parks, golf courses, rooftops, reservoirs and residential urban and suburban backyards which create annoyances for their human neighbors with their noise, aggression and droppings. However, the biggest threat is to airplane safety - consider the fate of the USAir flight that was forced to land in the Hudson River due to a bird strike.

Aside from their oversize droppings geese can also be very aggressive, sometimes resulting in injuries to humans or other animals, particularly if near their nesting site. The complaints from all sectors have increased exponentially owing to their protected status by both Federal and State agencies, which limits the ways to move these birds from a particular location.

Geese Problem Bird Deterrents

Geese problems on lake front properties

Established flocks of non-migratory Canada Geese can be difficult to deter so implementing a geese harrassment campaign should commence as soon as possible after they begin to frequent the area. The geese deterrent campaign should include a combination of Audio & Visual Bird Deterrents to make the threat of a potential predator more convincing to the geese. When practical regular movement of the bird scare deterrents increases the effectiveness.

Geese on Water front landscaping –
If you are experiencing a problem with geese entering your property from the water, the first line of defense should be visual deterrents anchored in the water. Dead Goose Decoys can be deployed in the water and on land to create the illusion that the area is not safe for other geese. FireFly Bird Diverters mounted on a post and floating life raft ramp up the feeling of potential threats in the bird scare campaign. Also place a Cat Decoy Scares Birds which a realistic looking cat with a moving head and tail.
A new product to add to the mix is “Away with Geese,” a solar powered bird deterrent that disrupts sleep patterns causing geese to move away quickly. For reservoirs, wetlands, retention ponds and large bodies of water where geese are unwelcome, the Wetlands Bird Wailer can be adapted to float on the water or mounted on land.

To keep geese from coming ashore, visual bird deterrents like Holographic owls, FireFly Bird Diverters mounted on Whip Rods should be set up on the shoreline. This will create a frightening and unwelcoming environment. Holographic Repel Strips and sections of Flash tape can also be tied to short stakes so that the visual products can move freely in the wind. Place a Cat Decoy Scares Birds near the shoreline to create the effect of a real cat moving around. Move the Cat Decoy Scares Birds every few days to increase effectiveness Another common waterfront deterrent is to build a small fence on the water’s edge to encourage the geese to move in to a different area off the lake. The fence can be constructed with stainless steel grid wire and posts; the fence only needs to be 2 to 3 feet high. Tie Holographic Repel Strips and mylar tape every 5’ to increase the effectiveness.
