Goose Habitat Management

Habitat modification is geared towards making your landscape less habitable or appealing to flocks. It can include eliminating, modifying, or reducing access to areas and features that are attractive to geese. Some great options that Goose Solutions provides include pond fencing and grid wire.

Canadian Geese prefer to make their habitats in large, unobstructed areas of short, well-watered grass near open water. Unfortunately, these features that attract geese are some of the same traits that make urban properties such as golf courses, business parks, apartment complexes, and parks aesthetically pleasing to humans. Clients, residents, visitors, and employees should be able to enjoy beautiful landscaping without the noise and mess that geese bring to an area, which is why Goose Solutions is here to help.

Habitat modification alone will not eliminate the presence of Canadian Geese on your property. If a population of geese has begun nesting and molting in the area, they have established a residence and it will be harder to deter the flock from the area. This is why it can be important to engage goose deterrents before or soon after geese arrive. By combining goose repellent methods and habitat modification, the presence of geese on your property is much more likely to decrease.

The Goose Solutions Advantage

Goose Habitat Management | Springboro, OH | Goose Solutions - habitat-management

All goose management programs at Goose Solutions include daily walkway and entryway dropping removal. One of the biggest issues that geese populations present are the feces that they leave behind. These droppings are unsightly, smelly, and can carry parasites such as Giardia and Coliform which can be transmitted to humans and other animals, including pets. Because geese enjoy nesting near entryways and manmade paths, you could end up tracking these stains and odors indoors. That’s why Goose Solutions makes it a priority to include daily walkway and entryway clearing in our management programs.

FAQs

When is Goose Habitat Management Necessary?

If you’ve seen Canadian Geese in your neighborhood or if your property is in a goose flight-path, it’s a good idea to consider goose management techniques. Bodies of water like decorative lakes or ponds for retention are naturally appealing to geese, especially when they are surrounded by lawns, and it is much easier to prevent geese from taking up residence than it is to uproot them. If you’re worried about your property being attractive to geese, call Goose Solutions for a free site visit and inspection.

Are Canadian Geese Aggressive?

The Canada Goose is a tenacious bird and most have lost their fear of humans, which can make them a threat and a liability. When geese establish a nest or incubate eggs on your property, they can become increasingly territorial and aggressive. Often, they will end up attacking customers, visitors, and employees, especially when nests are located in high foot traffic areas like walkways or entrances. Call Goose Solutions to help mitigate this risk, and drive geese away for good!

Can Anyone Remove Geese?

The Federal Migratory Bird Act protects Canada Geese including their nests and young by making it illegal to alter nests, capture, or physically harm geese without a federal or state permit. This can make it difficult to find a solution for an aggressive Canada Goose problem. Thankfully, Goose Solutions is licensed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife and we specialize in permanent goose removal solutions.
