Here's another option I have heard works but have not seen it in person.

I think we need to find a market for goose. Maybe goose jerky? or Buffalo goose wings? Maybe pet food?

I'm thinking fertilizer. Somehow it seems only fair.

That or the aforementioned Navy solution ...

Default goose/duck repellent

I thought the repellent I sprayed last week was working real well. Now I actually think it was all the fireworks the neighbors shot off that kept the geese and ducks away. Ducks have returned with additional troops. I'm going to buy one of those silent dog whistles today and give it a try. Do ducks have ears?

I'm sure ducks have ears, just not so sure that they'll listen.

Now mebbe "we" can't afford that Navy's solution but perhaps all hope isn't lost ...

Default Another Potential Solution

BTW: The Navy base in Newport has tried just about everything for their thousands of Illegal Geese. The latest effort is a "Herding" type dog....maybe a terrier..I'm not sure what kind of dog....that roams around with a dog handler to chase the geese away. NB

http://www.pestproducts.com/goose_buster.htm

For the money I'm sure it works. Totally.

My company obtained a dog to do just that at one of it's plants. Understand the dog cost in the vacinity of $5,000 with it's training and all.

I'm thinking I may have a summer project now, I wonder if you can program it to just shoot at geese???
