Goose Proof is in Association with   Procare Horticultural Services

Got Geese ?

Urban properties, homeowners, tenants and managers spend thousands of dollars each year on goose relief.  Tricks such as shiny Mylar balloons, alligator heads, chemicals, and even firecrackers, but the birds continue to congregate. These geese graze on new plantings and drop about three pounds of feces per goose, every day.

Geese are very smart.  They adapt to most threats employed by property managers and homeowners.  The destruction and odor they cause make even the most avid animal lover want to move.  Below are pictures of what geese can do to your property.

Q.  Are the Geese Harmed?

A.  Never!  The dogs never touch the geese, only harass them silently.

Q.  How long will it take to control the geese on my site?

A.  It depends highly on your site.  We suggest 6 to 8 weeks to get the geese to find another place where they are not  threatened.

Q.  Where do the geese flock?

A.  Somewhere where they are not bothered or threatened.  They prefer the lazy, easy feeding life that well manicured ponds and landscaping offer.

Q.  What is the cost?

A.   Pricing varies with the size of your site, the number of ponds and accessibility.  We always provide free evaluation of your site and even demonstration with our collie.

After an inspection, we will submit a proposal to you. 

Goose Proof  is a service that uses Border Collies to chase away the birds.  This method is effective, because the birds perceive the dogs as a real threat. This is due to the fact that they work silently, in a crouching position much like a natural predator.  The geese see the dogs and flee to a place where they feel more secure.
