ReJex-iT (and other similar products that go by different trade names) is a non-toxic matieral that when applied to turf grass makes it inedible and repulsive to geese. The active ingredient is the same compound that gives concord grapes their characteristic flavor

I don't remember the name but I bought a product at Agway a few years ago that was sprayed on the lawn. It lasted a while and did an excellent job of detering the geese. The bad news is that it smelled awful and made the property unusable. I even got complaints from the next door neighbor that when the wind was right (or wrong) the smell on his beach was terrible.

So, although it worked I would not use it again. We are getting tired of washing the poop away so maybe it is time to find some flags to put out. Hope that works!
