Goose Droppings Everywhere!

March 13th, 2014

Problems With Canada Goose Droppings in Kenwood, OH, or any place else in the Greater Cincinnati area? Call Tri-State Wildlife Management (513)853-0037

With spring approaching we will be getting the poop calls. Poop being, GOOSE DROPPINGS EVERYWHERE! Many public areas such as country clubs, golf courses, businesses, parks, and community living environments offer pristinely manicured lawns and ponds that provide an ideal habitat for geese. These areas are also where people often want to hang out when the weather is warm and sunny. You may want to have a picnic or play ball with your children but you certainly don’t want to eat in an area covered with poop or have your children playing in it.

When goose droppings are concentrated, they are unpleasant and a potential health risk. If high goose numbers persist in small areas, they have been found to harbor elevated levels of organisms that cause diseases in humans, Rotaviruses, Salmonella, D Listeria viruses have all been found in concentrations of Canada goose feces. They have also been known to elevate bacteria levels via fecal coli form.

Canada geese are the leading nuisance bird for lakes, parks, golf courses, businesses and homes in close proximity to water. Their acidic droppings corrode many substrates including tar-based roofing materials. Droppings that are allowed to accumulate on roofs damage the material and eventually cause leaks. The life expectancy of a warehouse roof can be cut in half by just a light but continuous application of droppings. Several warehouses every year experience damage and leakage problems from residing geese. In extreme cases roofs have been known to collapse from standing water when drainage systems are blocked by droppings and feathers, thus causing the temporary closure of some large buildings.

If you have a goose problem on your property and want the geese gone or the numbers of geese on your property cut down in size we can provide a solution to meet your needs. We service the Cincinnati, OH area as well as its surrounding cities such as West Chester, OH; Middletown, OH; and Kenwood, OH.
