One of the most encountered issues by people having large garden areas or lawns is the problem of Canadian Geese.
These Canadian Geese may attract you at the first sight but the nuisance that they create may irritate you to the optimum level. Owing to the mess that these lovely looking birds create, they have been grouped in the pest category.
These Canadian Geese destroy the beauty of your lawns, landscapes and garden areas with their dropping.
The problem is not that cleaning the shit after is cumbersome but the hazardous effects it carries. The dropping contains E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter or Cryptosporidium germs that can cause serious health issues.
Another reason is that these birds have the habit of moving in flocks and hence the level of contamination is more. Even if you scare them away they will return owing to their inherent character.
Even though these birds are non-violent but seeking danger they react in the opposite way. It has been noticed that these birds have attacked small kids and pets seeking danger.
Now comes the most painful part and because of which Professional Geese Removal services become compulsory.
These birds have been given a protective shield by the law and nobody can use any lethal means to get rid of these birds. If you use any lethal measure you may be booked under law.
Owing to all the issues associated with these creatures Geese management is one thing without which you cannot resolve this issue
Since you cannot use poison, pallet guns and firearms as these can hurt these bird so you have to think of something which can get you out of the mess and sidewise non-lethal.
For years Geese removal tactics involve the use of scarecrows, flags, mylar tapes noisemakers, popguns, noisemakers, sound machines, balloons and fencing.
But unfortunately, these tactics don’t proved to be a permanent solution to this widespread problem.
For getting rid of these creatures the permanent solution is to force them to change their habitat to some other place.
Professionals, keeping this concept in the back of their started using herding dogs. These herding dogs are termed as Border Collies and are specially raised in England and part of Scotland.
These Border Collies resembles somewhat like wolves. They chase these geese and scaring them away. Their job is to basically implant fear in the minds of these birds. Feeling that the property is not safe for them, these birds will change their place to somewhere else.
Till now this has proved to be the best way for wild geese removal and which is in compliance with the law.
This method may involve multiple sessions so as to make sure that these Geese don’t return ever after. Multiple sessions will help to reinforce the fear in the mind of these birds and they will be forced to look for new space.
I hope my write up is of help to all the peoples out there who are facing Geese problem in their lawns and garden areas.
