VI. HINTS FOR THE MOST SUCCESSFUL GOOSE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
A. Survey the geese and their entry, exit and feeding habits.
B. Inspect your property. Discover what the geese find attractive about your area, and if the same conditions prevail in
neighboring properties.
C. Maintain a changing environment. For maximum effectiveness, periodically relocate or reposition the unit.
D. Install early, before the "season" begins, as it is easier to discourage them than to rout them out once they have already
established a pattern.
• Late summer to early winter, when all geese can fly and goslings don’t require special feeding areas, you will
experience quickest success.
• Late winter to early spring, as nesting season approaches and geese claim territories, it will take more effort.
• Mid-spring, when nests are constructed and eggs are laid, you’ll face even greater challenges.
• Late spring to mid summer, as eggs hatch but goslings cannot yet fly, you’ll benefit from another period of less
resistance.
E. Use products synergistically. Because success takes time to build, and goose habits may take time to break, for best
results, Bird-X, Inc. always recommends that the GatorGuard be used in conjunction with one or more other products.
The combination of different types of control methods has proven to maximize the effectiveness of pest goose control
programs. Call Bird-X, Inc. at (312) 226-2473 (BAN BIRD) or visit www.bird-x.com for more information on
companion products, specifically:
GooseBuster first-ever naturally-recorded goose alarm call generator, developed by a renowned biologist;
3D Coyote realistic stalking replica;
GooseChase food-grade, biodegradable taste aversion spray for grass.
F. Consider alternate locations. Make educated guesses as to where the geese will go, and consider purchasing additional
units for these areas.
G. Establish Zero Tolerance: Drive all geese away. Success is achievable if you prevent geese from claiming stakes rather
than waiting — often for as short a time as 20 minutes — until they establish proprietorship. Do not accept one or two
pair, as their comfort will elicit calls which make other geese find that area attractive.
H. Consider aggressive additional harassment (multiple people performing multiple movements; variation is most
important).
Walk or run toward (or jog by) the geese while waving your arms
Stare at geese
Drive a lawnmower or other groundskeeping equipment toward them, or operate machinery nearby
Fish with a large surface lure cast near geese on ponds
Use pyrotechnics, cracker shells and fireworks (no permit required for use on geese, but check local noise/fireworks ordinances.)
If they’re on a pond, use cracker shells and/or drag a floating rope across the pond to force the geese to fly to another site. Water
normally provides safe haven from predators and disturbance, but this can be overcome with a bit of ingenuity and effort.
Exclude them from water — prevent them from entering or leaving water with low fencing or fishing line strung at 6 and 12-inch
heights during brood rearing and flightless periods. Geese will avoid an area with no access to water’s safety and nourishment.
Use dogs, a breed that chases geese and returns on command. You are responsible for preventing harm to geese, goslings or eggs.
Use insecticide to make the grass less desirable for goslings’ regular diet of insects
