An Introduction To Geese Control

By Timothy West


There are many species of geese and they cause many problems for people. Droppings from these birds are one of the biggest problems. When the problems get too much then you will want to look at the options for geese control.

Many companies exist who can help with getting rid of pests such as birds. Homemade remedies are also an option when it comes to sorting out the problem and these could save you a lot of money.

If you have reached the point where you want to get rid of geese the first thing that you should do is to stop feeding the population in all locations. It is important that you do not feed these birds in public places, parks and on private property. Another thing that you need to do is to deal with the control of the geese before population becomes too big. Make your property as unappealing to geese as you possibly can as this will make their control 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 the wildlife including birds. As it is not good for their health. Some wildlife species will get accustomed to getting fed by humans and they can rapidly become domesticated and this may increase the problem, as it will be seen as a sign of being welcomed by the birds.

The population of geese can be controlled through the use of decoys. A collection of swan decoys can be useful when it comes to dealing with this problem. These decoys can prevent birds from nesting in an area. They tend to be aggressive when it comes to protecting their young which will deter other birds from nesting in this area. The bad thing about decoys is that they can be a bit of an eyesore, therefore, it is a good idea to only use them during the main migratory period.

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.
