Tips for Controlling
the Canada Goose.*
1. Eliminate
any feeding of the geese by the public.
2. If possible,
leave the lawn un mowed.
3. Plant tall
fescue instead of tender Kentucky bluegrass.
4. Plant unpalatable
ground covers such as pachysandra, English Ivy, myrtle, and hosta.
5. Place large
stones, tall grass, or a short fence around the edge of a pond
to keep the geese from stepping up.
6. Provide more
bushes and hedges to reduce the goose's ability to detect predators.
Hedges will also discourage geese from walking between ponds
and feeding areas.
