FAQ Answer Page
A:  It usually takes 2-3 weeks, working 2-3 times a day, 7 days a week.  We make sure the geese actually leave the property this includes all ponds, lakes and streams. 

A: Yes, we carry a policy specifically written for us.  Try finding another service that is insured to HERD GEESE.
A: There is evidence that the droppings from geese have been linked to e coli which can make a person very sick.  The threat increases if the feces comes in direct contact with an individuals mouth or eyes..  A person can get feces on their hand or fingers when playing sports on fields that have a large goose population.  Swimming at beaches that have geese also increases the risk.

A:  We have seen decoys such as alligator heads, plastic owls, cardboard coyotes, chemicals that make the grass taste like grapes, strobes and fireworks.  The list goes on and on, but the only true deterrence is a FEARED NATURAL PREDATOR which the Border Collie represents.  Decoys only peak HUMAN interest, strobes are annoying especially if you live close to the strobe, fireworks are loud and disruptive to the community, chemicals are expensive and labor intensive and don't work.

A:  We hear this question all the time.  First our dogs do not chase the geese they herd them.  Most dogs will chase the geese into the pond and bark at them.  This is not typical behavior of a predator.  Predators are stealthy and sneek up from behind.  Border Collies have a herding instinct which makes them drive the herd toward you not away from you.  On command our dogs will get behind the geese and use the "EYE" to CONVINCE even the toughest Canada Geese to leave. 

A:  Based on the size of the site, number of hazards to consider ( roadways, steams, ponds,lakes), and the desired result, will determine how long the contract should run. Generally a 26 week commitment in the early spring will produce the best results. We consult with you to determine the best Goose control program method and impliment the plan to ensure that the geese do not come back.  We will work with you to reach an acceptable degree of coverage within your budget. 

A: Our clients consist of Parks, Ball Fields, Schools, Universities, Golf Courses, Beaches, Business Parks and anywhere Geese have become a problem.
