Are there any words of wisdom from you long timers out there related to Canada Geese and keeping them off your property? I've seen plenty of gimmicks and gadgets on-line but we want to know what works.

Here is how we got rid of Canadian Geese. Lay a large tarp on the ground and put bread or some kind of food that the Geese like in the middle of the tarp. Ask your friends and neighbors to help. When the Geese start coming up onto the tarp get your friends and neighbors slowly surround the outer edges of the large tarp. When all the Geese are in the middle eating the food everyone moves quickly toward the middle of the tarp holding up all the edges and hold the ends high enough to tie a rope around the ends of the tarp. Bingo you have all the Geese in the tarp. It works every time. We caught 10 on our first try. Then we take the Geese out to the country or we knew of a farmer that actually like Geese. Don' ask me why. We gave the Geese to the farmer. He was happy. The Geese were happy and we were happy. True story
