Rooftop Canada Geese Control

Geese nesting on a roof are usually looking for the same things they want at ground level: an open, exposed area with good sightlines and few disturbances.

• Gravel roofs and roof decks that mimic open ground
• Green roofs and planted roof areas near water sources below
• Flat roofs near a pond, retention basin, or river visible from above
• Quiet rooftop corners away from foot traffic and equipment noise

Because a rooftop nest is harder to spot from ground level, droppings and nesting debris often build up around drains and HVAC units before building staff notice. By the time the issue surfaces, usually as a maintenance call about a clogged drain or a ponding roof area after rain, the site has often had a nesting pair returning to the same corner for more than one season, which makes a fast, permitted response more valuable than waiting for the next scheduled roof inspection. Left unaddressed, that cycle repeats every year and adds to the roof's long-term maintenance costs.

Every rooftop engagement starts with a survey of the roof surface, drains, and any nesting activity, coordinated with your building or facilities manager for safe roof access. From there we run the Initial Clearing Program with handler-led Border Collie visits, then follow up on a Maintenance schedule through nesting season so the flock does not return to the same corner next year. Every visit is humane and non-lethal, with no equipment fastened to the roof surface and no contact ever made with a goose, and Canada geese remain protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act throughout.

Buildings dealing with an active nest right now can move straight to our emergency Canada geese control service rather than waiting for the next scheduled visit, and we can typically coordinate rooftop access on short notice once your facilities team confirms it's safe to do so.
