Algae, duckweed, watermeal and cattails are all challenges around ponds. In recent years, another problem has moved in and stayed: resident Canada geese. These geese no longer migrate through for a short rest stop. They settle in on ponds, sports fields, corporate campuses, and manicured lawns and stay there all year.

The Problem With Resident Canada Geese

Migrating geese pass through quickly. Resident geese do not. They choose a comfortable site and make it home, season after season. That usually means:

- Swimming and loafing on ponds and lakes.
- Grazing daily on closely mowed turf.
- Nesting near walkways and buildings.
- Leaving heavy droppings on grass, paths and shorelines.

Your Heading Here

A single goose can eat several pounds of grass per day and drop nearly as much waste. Multiply that by a flock of dozens or even hundreds and you get bare patches of turf, slippery walkways, and constant cleanup.
Beyond looks, resident geese can:

- Become aggressive near nests during spring.
- Damage turf on fields, fairways and common areas.
- Create unsanitary conditions around water features and shoreline paths.

Over time, their presence can change how people use a property and how that property is perceived.

A Humane, Professional Approach

Canada geese are federally protected birds. That means control programs must respect state and federal rules and use methods that are both effective and responsible.

Scientific Plant Service uses timed applications of professional, USDA organic repellents that are designed to make treated turf unappealing to geese. The treated grass looks normal to people but tastes and feels unpleasant to the birds.

This approach gives you real relief while avoiding harmful or heavy handed methods.

As a result:

  • Geese stop grazing on treated turf.
  • Flocks move their feeding to untreated areas away from your property.
  • Over time, many flocks choose to relocate to less protected sites.

Where We Use Goose Repellent?

We focus on the flat, closely mowed turf that geese prefer. If the aquatic site is small enough, making that grass unattractive can encourage the entire flock to leave.

Our resident Canada geese programs are a good fit for:

  • Corporate and medical campuses.
  • Schools and universities.
  • Municipal parks and common areas.
  • Golf courses and sports fields.
  • Community ponds and stormwater basins.
  • Residential communities with ponds and open turf.

What To Expect From A Goose Control Program?

Step

1

Site visit and evaluation
We walk the property, look at ponds, turf, nesting and loafing areas, and get a sense of flock size and movement.

Step

2

Plan and schedule
We recommend a treatment plan that considers timing, flock behavior and how people use the property.

Step

3

Repellent applications
Our technicians apply goose repellent to selected turf areas. Applications are timed so the product remains effective as the season progresses.

Step

4

Monitoring and adjustment
We watch how the flock responds and adjust coverage and timing as needed to keep birds off key areas.

Scientific Plant Service has decades of experience managing turf, trees and aquatic environments. Resident Canada geese control fits naturally into that skill set. We understand how pond edges, mowing height, slope and plant selection all affect where geese choose to land and graze.

When you partner with us, you get:

- Licensed professionals who understand both turf care and aquatic management.
- Humane, repellent based solutions rather than heavy handed approaches.
- Programs that respect federal protection of Canada geese.
