Geese Everywhere!!!!!

SAMIAM · 07-10-2012, 11:16 AM

Strings of flags work for me......I take them down when we're using the beach.Also I'm now trying out one of those motion detector oscillating sprinklers and it's a ball.
Geese swim up to it and the thing sends a huge burst of water at them which only lasts a few seconds.The whole flock just erupted and got out of there.
I'm going to leave it in as long as they don't get used to it because it is less unsightly than the flags.
Also,quite funny when the cat goes down for a drink.

At the suggestion of Donna at Getaway Wear, we bought a couple of these http://www.amazon.com/Bird-X-GG-Gato...8570407&sr=8-3

and as funny as they look, they seem like they might work, and they make for a laugh with kids on the beach.

Just another possible solution

Why doesn't out great EPA (Environmental ?) do something about this pollution. They seem to be as useless as the rest of the three letter groups.

How 'bout the DES and the EPA that want to protect the lake from everything we do, Goose droppings are much more harmful to the water than anything we could do along the shoreline

they were the reason that Weirs Beach was closed due to bacteria, it was goose excrament

I haven't seen the alligators. I tried the coyote and the owl that moves his head and hoots when detecting motion but neither of those were successful.

Found it on Amazon.com.....just type in "Scarecrow Sprinkler"

I just moved mine away from the water a little because the waves were setting it off.

Apparently they can be killed under certain circumstances, even in NH.
