Canada geese can be a costly problem at schools, parks, golf courses, cemeteries, or any other facility with water and/or lawns. Take Flight Goose Control can help.
Why do we have resident Canada geese?
Resident geese numbers have risen because of differing factors, the first being their protection under federal law. The problem has become so complicated in Oregon that a special task force has been established to discuss options.
Why are resident Canada geese a problem?
Canada geese 'imprint' where they are born and return year after year to nest in the same place. It is important to discourage even a small flock of geese from living on your property. Small groups quickly become large groups as they call in more geese that are passing through the area. Geese graze on lawns and quickly destroy beautifully landscaped property while producing a pound or more of waste per goose per day. Goose manure is unsightly, messy, and can pose health risks.
The geese will go wherever they wish, typically to an area where they will not be harassed. There are plenty of 'wild' places in our area where the geese are accepted.
Most obvious are the droppings, which from an aesthetic and cleanliness standpoint alone, deter people from using parks, picnic areas and other recreational sites such as athletic fields and golf courses.
Maintenance people have to spend time and money cleaning up the goose droppings.
Droppings contain nitrogen, bacteria, and viruses creating a health concern from which disease may spread to other bird populations.
During nesting, Canada geese can be aggressive and territorial.
