Pam Walker on May 05, 2016Wild geese spook easily. I'd put a pole with a horn attached that can be activated remotely from inside the house. Once you see them start to come into the yard, blow the horn. After a while, they'll form their own boundary line & won't come near where they've heard that horn. It may take several tries but they'll get the message. Also, if you're worried about them going hungry, you could sprinkle some feed in another area that you want them to go. That will get them used to foraging in another area away from your yard. Hope this helps.Helpful Reply

Eileen B. on May 05, 2016They are nearly impossible to keep out of your yard, my husband would yell at them or bang on our deck railing, and if they were out in the water but headed into our yard my husband would use the slingshot and marbles to ward them off the marbles don't harm them they just scare them off. The dogs would also bark at them. After their eggs hatched sometimes we would have 30 or 40 geese sleeping in our yard or on our dock. Couldn't do anything about the lawn but just changing the height and length of the dock stopped them from sleeping there and no more big piles of goose poop. One time I tried putting one of those motion controlled singing fish on the dock, it didn't help.Helpful Reply

Amy Ogden-Paparone on May 05, 2016If you know of someone handy who can make you a silhouette of a dog out of wood, the geese will no longer come into your yard. We purchased a bunch of them to put in the school yards so the kids could play without stepping in geese droppings and it worked like a charm. Just paint it all black and you're set!Helpful Reply
