Canadian Geese Goose Repellents that Keep Them Away

Posted on June 18, 2014 by Kathy Fritsch in Goose Control

Summertime is vacation time for many, and that includes Canada geese. They will find a property they like and stay around for a while unless persuaded to go elsewhere. Because they quickly become adaptable and tolerant of surrounding activity, they need active persuasion. Canada geese look for spots near water, making golf courses and public parks favorite places to land, establish territory, and stay. For more tips on managing these nuisance birds, explore our guides on whether you are using the right goose repellent and finding effective goose deterrents to control the nuisance fowl.

Beyond water, Canada geese are attracted to a wide variety of food options. As herbivorous grazers, they love to feed on grassy areas near water, berries, seeds, and cultivated crops like corn, oats, soybeans, and millet. Because they travel in groups, destruction can happen fast, making it vital to protect your property before problems start. The ideal time to protect shrubs and crops from Canada geese is during the planting stage.

Liquid Goose Repellent

One of the best ways to keep these lively pests away is to use a liquid goose repellent. Migrate Goose Repellent spray is a non-toxic liquid made from natural grape extract that geese intensely dislike by taste and smell. Once mixed as a concentrate of one part repellent to 20 parts water, the treatment resists being washed away by rain or irrigation. Two applications can last for up to three months, protecting your property without harming humans, pets, or the surrounding environment.

Sound Goose Repellent

If you need to protect a large area of land or crops, the Bird Chase Super Sonic is highly beneficial for driving geese away. This device covers up to an acre of land—and even more with optional expansion speakers. It acts as a powerful scare device by broadcasting Canada goose distress and predator calls at random intervals, triggering their natural instinct to flee. The unit is weather-resistant, easy to install, and programmable to operate during the day, at night, or around the clock depending on your needs.

Protecting Your Property from Contamination

Getting rid of geese with these simple, effective repellents protects your property from the dangerous contamination their droppings leave behind, including harmful bacteria like E. coli and salmonella. For the best results, consider using products in combination—pairing an audible sound deterrent with a visual scare product for maximum effectiveness.
