Relocation And Goose Control Services

The Canada goose can certainly be fun to watch – but wow – what a slippery, nasty mess they can make! They can eat all your grass and turn your yard into an unsightly health and safety hazard if allowed to take control of your surrounding environment. If you’re in Oklahoma and tired of geese eating your grass, turning your yard into an unsightly safety hazard, or even taking up residence in your commercial parking lot – call us – we can solve your goose problems.

Please keep in mind, when it comes to the Canada goose, time is of the essence regarding removal and egg addling. For example, in Oklahoma we can only relocate geese and do egg addling from approx. March 11th – August 30th. Outside that timeframe, we have to use exclusion, deterrents, habitat modification and harassment methods to eliminate your urban lawn cow dilemmas. If you would like to retain the few geese you currently have, but do not want more hatching, we can assist you with that as well. Many think that simply destroying the eggs will control the population, but this is ineffective as they will just lay more. We utilize a humane procedure called “egg addling” to retain your desired number of geese and to prevent the unwelcome, annual young additions to the flock.

Typically, relocation is not the most humane or cost effective method to use to manage wildlife. However, the Canada goose usually handles relocation well and a resident Canada goose has a better chance at surviving in a new environment than, for example, a red squirrel, but research has proven that many, if not all of them will eventually return to the place of capture, so The Skunk Whisperer will not typically agree to relocate geese rather than utilize other methods such as harassment, habitat modification and products such as Avihaze. We generally follow The Humane Society of the United States Wild Neighbors Program Canada Goose egg addling protocol. We had the privilege of assisting with the protocol language and believe it’s a great addling protocol.
