In all my years of this stuff, I have learned a few pointers that I would say were worth while. When it comes to goose control, I know a thing or two as well. In the past week or so, I have written a bit about repellent for ducks, crows, seagulls, and grackles. However, today we will be focusing on geese. These critters are particularly fond of water side lawns or vast grassy areas. Most people want to get rid of them in two ways. Some need to rid them of a pond and others just the lawn. If you were having problems with these pest birds, then hopefully this posting will be of some help.
I like to be new school with all of the newest of gadgets, so the first thing that I will recommend is a sonic goose repellent device. This is basically an electronic call that sends out calls that scare the birds away or make them feel uncomfortable. These sounds would be the warning or alarm noises that a goose makes when it is in trouble. I am really not too sure if ultrasonic deterrents work for these animals like they do for other pests.
Predator decoys work as well. When I say predator decoy as goose deterrent, I am referring to the fox, coyote, and a neat little product called terror eyes. These are life like illustrations of these animals and are meant to be setup on a lawn or wherever. The point is to make them as visible as possible to the geese in the area. Terror eyes is a bit different in the sense that it really isn’t any particular animal. This thing is a ball with really, really terrifying looking eye balls. Another good one is the swan. Goose deterrent swan decoys are great because the swan is a very dominant bird that won’t let a goose stay in what it thinks is its pond. The last one is the dead goose deterrent decoy. These are the ones that simply look like a goose with a limp neck. Here, we want to make the birds think that the area is uninviting because there is a dead goose lying around – sounds like it would work though.
There are also goose repellents that can be put out over a lawn. This will help to keep these birds from walking all over the yard and leaving their poop. Most of these repellent products are natural and safe for the environment. Don’t ask me how they work, because I think that they either taste really crappy or give the pests a bad ache in the stomach. However, I have heard that they do not harm them. Some brands that I have used are migrate and flight control.
If you don’t mind, letting the grass grow up will also scare them away. If you want to get rid of geese, then try not cutting the grass for awhile. The last product we will review here is the laser for goose control. Now, my best guess at how these things work is that they simply scare the pesky birds. Some are placed inside and others are meant to be pointed at the geese to scare them away.
