Tennis Court Canada Geese Control

Both migratory and resident Canada geese use court complexes, though resident flocks that stay in the area year-round tend to cause the most persistent problems. Courts share a set of conditions that geese favor: short grass nearby, clear sightlines to spot predators, and long stretches of time between matches when the area sits quiet.

• Grass surrounds and buffer lawns adjacent to the courts
• A pond, retention basin, or wetland within easy walking distance
• Low foot traffic during off-peak hours and weekdays
• Nesting sites in nearby landscaping during late winter and spring

Canada geese are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and every step of a control program, Border Collie visits and habitat changes, is fully compliant with federal and state wildlife rules. We never harm geese; our dogs never make contact with a bird, and the goal is always to make courts and their surrounds feel unsafe to settle on. For clubs and parks departments with a recurring flock, a standing Maintenance Program through spring nesting season keeps new arrivals from establishing before they become a pattern players notice.
