Keeping geese off ballfield?

You can use either hunting dog or Geese repellant. According me, Geese repellant is the right choice.

 

one more thing to add I heard about Audio repellents. what is the actual term it is?

 

I don't know what the term is (outside of audio repellent), but there are two repellents that I am aware of:

- Distress calls
- Automatic exploders, also known as propane cannons, make a loud noise without discharging a projectile. One exploder may protect up to 25 acres (10 ha) under ideal conditions. The rate of firing is manually adjustable; exploders should be set to fire about every 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce waterfowl habituation and increase the effectiveness of exploders by mounting them on turntables so the cannon rotates a few degrees with each firing. Turn exploders off after dusk and on at dawn to reduce neighbor complaints and bird habituation and to save on fuel. Clock timers or photocells are available for this purpose.

Goose Gossage

 

Trying to find help

For East Forsyth. HS. I have been by the pass few day and and man. They have a problem. It is over run. They have done such a great job keeping the geese away. But, they do have a big problem. Not sure if it is spreading but beware and take precautions.

 

discouragement.

In the world of pest management you have to be more creative than just throwing "methal ethyl death" at them.

Most people want a "do easy" chemilcal solution to pest management. Chemical discouragement works sort of.

I break this down to "discouragement."

Likely these animals have found a refuge in a place like downtown Charlotte.

Find them a new place to hang.

There are many more effective management techniques than chems, fishing line, and wires, etcc.


BTW everyone knows they have wings right?


I haven't seen this field, but field dogs might be a good solution.

Course this would be GREAT off season "speed" training for a ball team.
