Geese have become a problem in many areas, especially places like parks, golf courses, corporate grounds, and lakes.  They like water, plenty of food (especially short, tender grasses), and open spaces where it's easy to watch for predators while they nest and raise young. The areas listed above all fit the bill (pardon the pun).   When you add to the mix those well-meaning citizens who feed the birds and make them accustomed to human contact, it's easy to see why geese prefer to hang out and make themselves at home.

If you've ever come into contact with these geese, you know they can be rude, noisy, and sometimes aggressive. When fed by those well-meaning citizens mentioned above, the geese become downright demanding.  With eating comes digestion, and with digestion by geese comes an area now too unsanitary for humans.  Consequently, the geese will have a safe breeding ground for nesting season, which means an increase in the Canada goose population, with the average nest hatching out 4-6 goslings.

So what can you do when the town park, golf course, or even your front lawn has been overrun?  What recourse do you have when you can't see the grass under the cover of goose droppings?  Whatever hostile thoughts you entertain as you run for your life from an angry mother goose, remember: Because these geese are federally protected, killing, injuring or handling the geese in any way is illegal, and can get you jailed or heavily fined at the very least.   Goose-repellent chemicals don't always work, and streamers or other "goose-frightening" props will alter the appearance of your property.

It is illegal to kill Canada geese in the United States without a federal permit.

Geese Police of VA, on the other hand, is the perfect solution. Using our trained working Border Collies, we'll run those geese out of town without harming them.
