One Canada goose in your yard is a beautiful and interesting novelty. Unfortunately, you almost never see just one goose. You see flocks of dozens, hundreds or even thousands of geese. Canadian geese on your property can become a honking, messy and destructive nightmare. It’s time to call for professional Geese Removal in Dublin OH.
Geese are Territorial and Aggressive – Protecting “Their” Property From You
Around the world, geese have been used as “watchdogs” by farmers for centuries. They’re territorial, aggressive and large. A Canada goose can stand 3 feet tall and weigh up to 24 pounds. One goose spreading its wings, honking and coming for you is, frankly, scary. It would certainly traumatize a child. A flock of geese demands a cautious approach. During the spring breeding season, geese will be particularly aggressive when they are mating and subsequently protecting newly hatched goslings.
Your Mowed Yard and Fields are Prime Goose Territory
Canada geese prefer open areas near water where it’s easy for them to spot predators and find food. They are one of the few water birds that are willing to live in an urban environment. A golf course, a farmer’s fields or your backyard could be just what a flock of geese is looking for. The geese may just be migrating and will move on again. However, too many geese have decided to move in and stay. Once a pattern has been established, new generations will follow suit.
Discouraging Geese
Plantings near open water preventing geese from seeing further than 30 feet will discourage them from landing and remaining. Properly constructed goose fences can also be useful. Unfortunately, these take a time to grow or build.
In addition to plantings and fences, wildlife control professionals use a number of tactics against geese including:
- Loud noises, pyrotechnics, and other hazing methods – these can be effective unless the geese have become accustomed to it or the neighbor’s object
- Dogs – they have a natural instinct to chase geese, but a household pet could be injured by large geese. Only properly trained dogs should be used chemical aversion agents
