Canada geese Fencing

Installation Tips for Effective Barriers

Proper installation is key to the success of any goose fencing barrier. At Birds and Geese Beware, Inc., we emphasize the importance of a correctly laid out perimeter to ensure optimal protection. Stakes or markers should be used to visualize the layout before the installation begins. The height of the fence is critical; it should be at least 30 inches tall to prevent geese from simply walking over it.

Our fence kits make the process straightforward for our clients in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. These kits include all necessary components, ensuring that every fence we install serves as an effective and lasting barrier against invasive Canada geese. Moreover, our solid construction methods result in a reliable fence that remains both unobtrusive and functional, adding to the aesthetics of the property while fulfilling its purpose.

Additional Deterrent Strategies

When it comes to deterring Canada geese from invading your property, we understand the value of employing a comprehensive approach. Our strategies involve a blend of visual and auditory deterrents as well as predator decoys and repellents to effectively discourage geese from settling on residential or commercial lands.

Integrating Visual and Auditory Deterrents

In our extensive experience at Birds and Geese Beware, Inc., we've learned that geese are particularly responsive to disturbances in their environment. Visual deterrents, such as flashing lights, can disrupt the comfort Canada geese seek, making an area less attractive to them. We install these at strategic locations across properties in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, ensuring coverage that's both effective and non-disruptive to human activity.

The use of noisemakers complements visual deterrents by added unpredictable and disturbing sounds. We've found them to be especially useful when installed around water bodies or open spaces where geese typically gather. The key to success with noise-based deterrents is variability; a range of noises at irregular intervals prevents geese from getting accustomed to the sounds.

Utilizing Predator Decoys and Repellents

Another layer in our defense strategy involves predator decoys. Motion-activated models that mimic the presence of natural predators can be a potent way to scare away geese. These models need to be moved regularly to maintain their effectiveness, a task that we at Birds and Geese Beware, Inc. manage as part of our service.

We also specialize in the application of repellents—taste and smell aversions that are non-harmful but uncomfortable for geese. These are applied to the grass and other vegetation, creating an unwelcoming environment for the geese to feed. Since our service areas are densely populated regions in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, our non-toxic repellents are a preferred choice for both residential and commercial clients concerned about environmental and health safety.

Deploying a combination of these methods has proven effective for us, consistently deterring Canada geese from taking over spaces meant for people to enjoy. Our approach is to install and maintain these deterrent systems in a way that's hassle-free for our clients, ensuring peace of mind with a clear and effective solution to geese-related problems.

Managing Goose Populations

Managing populations of Canada geese effectively necessitates a comprehensive understanding of both federal regulations and humane control methods. Our company, Birds and Geese Beware, Inc., ensures adherence to these guidelines within our service areas of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.

Regulatory Factors and Permits

We operate within the framework of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which protects Canada geese as migratory birds. Consequently, any action taken towards the management, including hunting, requires strict compliance with federal regulations. Our team secures necessary Depredation Permits when population control methods that impact physical health of geese are deemed necessary. Regulatory oversight ensures that all measures are both humane and legal, protecting the species while permitting property owners to address issues related to goose overpopulation.

Humane Population Control Methods

Implementing humane population control methods is a cornerstone of our approach at Birds and Geese Beware, Inc. Egg addling is a technique we employ, which involves treating eggs to prevent them from hatching. This is a non-lethal method that helps stabilize or reduce goose populations without harming adult birds. For properties experiencing significant challenges with geese, we recommend fencing as an effective and humane way to deter geese from occupying unwanted areas. The installation and maintenance of fencing are done with precision and care, ensuring minimal disruption to the environment and daily operations of our clients' residential or commercial properties. We also employ various other humane methods tailored to specific scenarios, all of which underscore our commitment to ethical wildlife management practices.

Environmental and Health Considerations

When we consider the installation of goose fencing as a management strategy, it's crucial to address the environmental and health implications. At Birds and Geese Beware, Inc., we're cognizant of the impacts that Canada geese can have on both these fronts, especially within our service areas of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.

Canada geese feces significantly contribute to water quality issues. These droppings are not only unsightly but can also harbor bacteria such as E. coli, leading to health concerns for humans who enjoy the same water bodies for recreation. Our fencing solutions act as a barrier, deterring geese from inhabiting areas where their feces can contaminate water sources.

Turf grass on residential and commercial properties can be heavily damaged by geese, as they graze aggressively and can destroy the aesthetic and functional use of these green spaces. Employing goose fencing from Birds and Geese Beware, Inc., sustains the health and appearance of turf grass, which is beneficial for the environment as well as the property value.

Agricultural damage is another consideration, as geese can destroy crops, resulting in economic losses. The installation of our solidly constructed fences can prevent geese from entering farmlands, minimizing this type of damage.

In terms of wildlife enforcement, our fences are built in a way that not only controls the movement of geese but also complies with local wildlife protection regulations. Our team is knowledgeable about the appropriate measures to take and works with wildlife enforcement officers to ensure that our methods meet all necessary guidelines.

The installation and maintenance of our fencing solutions are straightforward. We ensure that the fences are at least 30 inches tall and made from durable materials to withstand weather conditions while being effective at keeping Canada geese off properties. This preventative measure is a humane and non-lethal approach that reconciles the need for protecting the environment and health with the management of goose populations.
