Professional, dependable, reliable goose control. Results you can see...

Goose-B-Gone provides effective solutions through the use of proven hazing techniques for flock dispersal. Goose-B-Gone utilizes a non leathal solution that is endorced by geesepeace.org. We operate within the guidelines permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 

Canada goose control is essential for many businesses and parks with open green areas. These areas are ideal habitat for resident and migrating geese. The presence of nuisance geese can be detrimental to profits, destroy expensive landscaping and is a liability risk.

As referenced in the article by Cornell Cooperative Extension, Wisconsin University and the Wildlife Society, "...an integrated approach, using several techniques in combination is much more likely to succeed..." than a single quick-fix solution. This is why Goose-B-Gone offers service contracts opposed to an on-call service. We customize goose control programs to fit the needs of each individual customer. Our handlers use a variety of proven tactics to disrupt, disperse and detour geese. We are a solution based company that you outsource your problem to. This approach frees up your property manager’s time so they can focus more on property improvements, not damage assessments.

Here are a few tools at hand:

• Trained Handlers and Dogs - We only hire motivated professionals with wildlife experience! Our handlers receive training in four main categories. First, NWCO (Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators licensing that includes biology, laws, regulations and onsite field training). Second, Dog handling to include K-9 sociology, training methodology and first aid. Third, customer relations. Fourth, water craft skills that include cold water safety and survival.
• Deterrent tactics  - Our handlers are vigilant when patrolling your properties. They will be watchful of flocking geese that may be looking for a nice place to rest their wings after a long flight. Proper dog positioning makes a world of difference in these situations. We want the geese to think that they have seen a predator, not a pedestrian going for a walk with their best friend.
• Hazing tactics -  We use Border Collies, Australian Cattle Dogs and Labradors.  All these breeds have specific qualities that ensure our success. All operations differ greatly depending on terrain and how responsive geese are to the induced pressure. 
• Landscape Elements - We will help you with landscaping ideas and consulting to make your property less habitable for the geese.
