Our Services

Ohio Geese Control will develop a custom goose management program that will meet your needs. Our staff has over 25 years of experience in working with Canada geese and various harassment techniques.

Successful and cost-effective management of Canada goose activities often depends on identifying the site characteristics most attractive to the geese (e.g., security, food, nesting sites, water).

Ohio Geese Control will then design a custom management program based on the potential for reducing these characteristics. Our process begins with a site visit, where we will establish a custom plan that will be practical, safe, and effective.

Quick-fix solutions seldom reduce goose conflicts, and an integrated approach combining several techniques is usually the key to successful management programs.

Sample programs that we have assisted our clients with include:

• Harassment programs
• Roof top programs
• Molting programs
• Landscape modification programs
• Laser bird deterrent programs
• Goose repellent lawn applications
• Egg depredation programs

Trained border collies are a special breed of hardworking and extremely intelligent dogs. Their natural instinct to herd and wolf-like glance is threatening to the geese and provokes them into flight. The geese are never harmed in this process. Our border collies are trained with their specific handler on both whistle and verbal commands.

Harassing geese with visual deterrents, such as fake coyote decoys, owl eye balloons, mylar tape, distress calls and bird bangers are most effective when they are used in combination with other tactics. Stand-alone deterrents have limited effect, and most geese will become accustom to them within a month. When paired with a live “predator” on site, it can be a part of an ideal goose management plan.

Geese, nests, and goslings are protected by the Migratory Bird Act, and they cannot be touched or disturbed without proper government permission. This is a delicate balance between nature, and we will respect the wishes of our clients and the authorities.

Many urban features, including parks, industrial sites, residential complexes, golf courses, and planned residential communities, provide the prefect environment for Canada geese to thrive. Understanding how the property is used and how best to modify the landscape so it is not appealing to geese can be a cost-effective solution, if planned early in the process.

Eliminating the food source of geese from your property can be a key ingredient to your goose management program, especially during molting and gosling seasons. Ohio Geese Control applies Flight Control^® as a turf treatment that makes grass undesirable to geese both visually and through their digestive system (it tastes bad.) It is a humane, non-lethal approach that integrates well with other geese management strategies.

Whether you need a full laser system for a rooftop or industrial complex or a handheld laser to accompany your goose management program, we have the lasers for you. The green laser light can be used to chase the geese and other birds effectively and quickly. This is best used as a part of an overall goose management program; our experts can help guide you.

Our process begins with a site visit. Depending on this assessment, we will establish a service custom to your needs. We will give recommendations for combining and applying several dispersal methods. Primarily harassment techniques, in which we will be visiting with our trained border collies every day, because we want the geese to sense that there is a predator on the property. Constantly harassing the geese, will force the geese to disperse. This humane and effective tactic is recommended by The National Humane Society and The Division of Wildlife.

Our cost will vary depending on terrain and size of the property, the number and size of ponds, the current average geese number, and your property objectives. A skilled handler and border collie will come out for a free site visit, determine your goals, demonstrate our dog’s ability, and respond within 48 hours with a detailed analysis of the recommended service.
