You may feel the urge to use poison to kill the geese but this could harm other animals including pets. Killing the geese will not stop more from coming.Also make sure that when you are messing with these animals that you use proper attire to provide a barrier between you and the possible germs that a goose can carry especially in their fecal matter.
Goose Egg Addling
Egg Addling might be a good idea if you don’t want any more geese next year but will not get rid of your current geese. Egg addling is performed by shaking the eggs in the nest. This will cause the young embryo to die. If you break the eggs the bird will obviously die but the mother might lay more to replace them.
Goose Chemical Deterrent
Now we need to talk about chemical deterrents. These work great but have one major flaw. The rain will wash it away. This means you have to reapply or hire someone to reapply after every storm. This isn’t very cost effective if you live in an area that has heavy rain. You may want to use this in summer then use another deterrent in the fall and spring. Some come in a concentrate that you mix, and others come already made with a sprayer.
Goose Landscaping
The Canadian geese like to stay in open spaces that way they can see predators. If you plant shrubs and short bushes this will make your area seem unsafe. This could stop a goose from nesting on your property.
Bird Repellent Ribbon
If you are looking for something very inexpensive to get rid of the geese, you can try Bird Repellent Ribbon. If you live in a windy area this ribbon may blow away. One way to stop this from happening is to place weights on the stands that come with the ribbon.
Bird Spikes
Now let’s talk about bird spikes. You may have seen these on electric signs for businesses. These are usually for smaller birds. They come in plastic or stainless steel. They may not be very good for geese landing on your lawn or parking lot but they can be affective for roofs. If you have flat areas where these pests like to hang out you can lay spikes down to deter them. I would recommend the stainless steel spikes to avoid breakage.
Deter Canadian Geese
Fencing could be cheap way to make the geese leave. You will need to place a 3 foot fence around the lake or pond you want to protect. This could stop some geese from walking onto your lawn. They could obviously fly over but this would be another obstacle for them causing them to look for a better spot to hang out.
Ultrasonic Wave Deterrent
The next way to get rid of the Canadian geese is Ultrasonic Waves. These can get rid of many animals including geese. Some also have motion detectors. These units are small and look just like any outdoor feature on a building. They can be run with a cord or batteries. If you have a business this may be the most discreet way to repel Canadian geese without using chemicals.
Sprinkler Repellent
This is the motion sensor water sprinkler. Now remember it will kick on when it senses motion. So people can set this sprinkler on. Make sure you turn it off when the area is occupied or during service hours. You may need to use this defense with another deterrent.
Pond Roping
Ponds can be protected by Roping. This consists of stinging rope across the pond or water feature. This will stop the geese from being able to land in the water. Even if they do land they will have to navigate through the rope and will soon leave.
