Golf Courses

If you have ever tried to golf around geese, you know they can destroy a golf course. Golfers are trying to putt around or over the droppings, and they don't want the goose droppings all over their shoes or their clubs. Maintenance crews are mowing through the feces, throwing it all over the equipment and themselves causing increased cost and time cleaning the equipment.

Avian Influenza (Bird Flu)

With all the news reports about the Bird Flu, do you really want to take the chance? In a related article by The Associated Press appearing in the Cincinnati Enquirer, dated Sunday, February 3, 2007, the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of the Bird Flu was found on a British turkey farm. This flu has killed 164 people worldwide as of that date.  Migratory birds will possibly be the carrier of Bird Flu into this country. By reducing the amount of geese on your property, you can reduce the chances of becoming in contact with infected fowl. 4/16/13 CNN reports a new strain H7N9 has killed 11 in China.Don't take a chance.

Home Owners Associations

Do the owners of those expensive, stately homes complain of aggressive, nesting geese in/around their landscaping or pool areas? Are they side-stepping geese feces when they take their children or dogs for a walk? 

 Medical, Food Processors, Other Highly Sterile Environments

When a potential customer comes to your plant to see your operation, you don't want them to see goose droppings on your sidewalk or in your parking lot. You don't  want your customers or employees stepping in the feces and tracking it into your building where your clean room may be contaminated. Food and Health inspectors and/or your customer's inspectors may complain or cite your company for non-sterile conditions. Geese are a pest on your property, just like rats. You wouldn't put up with rats running loose on your property, why would you put up with geese?



Parks and Playgrounds

We all have seen it. When kids play, they fall down, and eventually their hands go straight into their mouth! Soccer games are being played on fields covered with goose feces. Or, how about a hard-hit ground ball rolling through an infield covered in goose feces?  Goose feces carry many different types of bacteria. Geese feeding around the beach leave so many droppings that it's unhealthy to swim. There is also the danger of the aggressive bird when nesting. Parks' paved walking paths become almost unusable because of the droppings.

 Office and Apartment Complexes

The Canada Goose is a beautiful bird at a distance. They also can be very dangerous; especially when nesting. They have been known to attack people who get too close to their nest. They also damage property by eating the grass and/or your expensive landscaping. Then they leave unsanitary goose droppings everywhere. If you have nests around your entrances, or a parking lot full of droppings, you need to give us a call.

 Cemeteries

A visit to the cemetery can be very depressing and stressful. As people are deep in their thoughts and prayers, they shouldn't have to worry about stepping in unsanitary goose droppings, or be afraid of being attacked by nesting geese. Why not make these visits a little more pleasant by using my services to help rid your property of these unwanted fowl.

 The Best Solution

Border Collies are the engine that makes this organization operate. Our dogs live to work. Whether it's sheep or geese, our Goose Crew doesn't care. We use the dogs to convince the geese that it's not safe to stay on your property. The geese think the dogs are predators, and are trying to eat them. If the geese don't think it is safe, they will leave. Border Collies are the most effective way of dealing with the geese HUMANELY. Geese get used to people, lawn mowers, lights, floating alligator heads, lights, etc., but never get used to the dogs trying to herd them. Our dogs are trained to go into the water, leaving no safe places for the geese.We can come out to your property for a consultation, and find a way to solve your specific problem. We can suggest landscaping changes or changes to the pond or lake to help with the goose problem. When it comes right down to it, the dogs are the best way to get rid of the geese.
