Prev Post. Studies show that fertilizing lawns increases their nutritional value to geese. Letting the lawn grow longer and not fertilizing or watering it will make it less attractive to geese. When establishing a new lawn, consider planting fescues instead of Kentucky blue grasses, since they are less attractive to feeding geese. Removing or killing geese outside of the normal hunting season is considered a last resort after other techniques have been unsuccessful. This program takes place in late June and early July when the birds are flightless.
Since the program began, more than 50, birds have been relocated to other areas within the state or to other states.
Some birds have even been taken to a processor and donated to feed needy people. The translocation program has limited success in reducing the number of nuisance complaints. While it does provide lakefront owners temporary relief, the same or different birds move back into the area within a short time. Unless the attractive habitat is modified, or birds are removed from the population via hunting , geese will return. In addition, it is becoming more difficult to find areas in state or neighboring states who are interested in receiving more giant Canada geese.
Special permits from the DNR must be obtained for translocation. When considering nuisance goose control methods for an area, you have to consider several things: how large is the problem area, how do the geese get there, what specifically is the problem. If geese always walked to the site, then consider exclusion techniques. If they fly onto the site, use harassment techniques. Another consideration is size of the affected area.
The chart below summarizes which techniques, either by themselves or in combination, may be effective for various sized areas.

Canada geese are an important natural resource and are federally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. They can be legally hunted during the hunting seasons with the proper licenses. The frightening and repellants described in this brochure are methods sanctioned by the DNR. Throwing firecrackers or chasing geese with any motorized device on land or water are NOT authorized scare methods.
Killing geese outside of the established hunting season and disturbing nests with goose eggs present can be done only under special permit, which can be applied for only when other techniques have been unsuccessful. Canada geese are highly prized game birds and enjoyed by hunters and non-hunters alike. Their presence in some locations, however, may result in conflicts from area residents. Various control methods have proven successful to discourage geese in a variety of conditions.
The method that will work best for you depends on your situation. Remember, giant Canada geese are thriving in large part because of the landscape changes brought on by human development.
