Protecting property from geese involves a combination of strategies designed to deter these large waterfowl without causing them harm. For example, modifying the habitat to make it less appealing can be combined with visual or auditory deterrents.
Effective goose control safeguards lawns, gardens, and bodies of water from damage caused by grazing and droppings. It also minimizes potential conflicts between humans and geese, enhancing safety and sanitation in both private and public spaces. Historically, reliance on lethal methods has given way to more humane and environmentally responsible approaches.
