The new high school in Alton had a problem with geese invading the property and pooping up the ball fields.
They tried many of the solutions that folks have mentioned here already, such as decoys and dogs. None of it had a real impact on the problem.
The solution was to rent a sorta pyrotechnic device that shot off a very loud BANG! That scared them away. Once that was deployed a few times they took off and stayed away, for the most part. If you call Fish & Game they might direct you to some safe and appropriate devices - just warn your neighbors what you're doing so they don't dial 9-1-1 on you! (And they'll probably support you!)
