Tri-State Wildlife Management – Protecting You, Your Property, and Your Investment

Ohio Canada Goose Removal: Dayton Daily News ran a relevant story on the increase in Canada Geese residing in Ohio. The Canada goose population in Ohio is roughly 130,000; only two decades ago, this number was less than half of the current population. Tri-State Wildlife Management knows all too well the nuisance Canada geese can become, and the Ohio Division of Wildlife says complaints have risen with the increase in population. In 1990, only 100 complaints were made concerning Canada geese. Within the past two years, 2000 online complaints have been issued. Canada goose droppings are a huge problem, as well as aggressive geese.

If unwanted Canada geese are invading the green space of your yard or town, you already know what a nuisance they can be. Canada Geese are the leading nuisance bird for lakes, parks, golf courses, businesses and homes in close proximity to water.  Aside from the overall noise and distraction, unwanted avian guests leave heaps of droppings, feathers and debris, which are unsightly and unsanitary. These droppings are often masses of diseases and can pose serious health risks. In addition to the mess, Canada Geese become very aggressive during nesting seasons and are notorious for attacking people when in close proximity to their nest.

If your home, property, or town has become subject to a Canada goose infestation, or simply a nesting pair, don’t delay, call Tri-State Wildlife Management before it gets any worse.  Tri-State Wildlife Management is a full service bird control specialist and will help rid your property of any pesky, winged intruders.

Tri-State Wildlife Management – Protecting You, Your Property, and Your Investment

Canada geese are the leading nuisance bird for lakes, parks, golf courses, businesses and homes in close proximity to water.

Are you having a Canada goose problem? Are goose dropping causing an unsightly, unsanitary mess? Are geese nesting near walkways or other inconvenient places? Are geese acting aggressive or even attacking people? These scenarios are all very typical for this time of year. Canada geese in Ohio are currently nesting, and oftentimes in places with a lot of human traffic. Combine that with their aggressive nesting behavior, and you have a problem. The last thing you want is for someone to get injured on property that you own or manage, so take care of the situation sooner rather than later. Tri-State Wildlife Management offers Canada goose control, including aggressive goose removal, roundups, K-9 discouragement, harassment, and nest and egg manipulation.

Resident Canada geese are difficult to remove. By definition, Canada geese are not classified as pest birds and are afforded protection by federal & state agencies. Nonetheless, Canada geese are increasingly becoming the scourge of suburbia as their numbers have grown in the past decade from only a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of these birds. In fact, the familiar V shaped squadron of honking geese heading south is becoming a rare sight. Country clubs, business parks and community living environments offer pristine, manicured lawns and ponds providing an ideal habitat that effectively modifies their migration cycle. Geese are very opportunistic and easily exploit the new “easy living” conditions found in urban environments. Aesthetic damage to suburban lawns, parks, etc., is incalculable. Geese are also a health hazard – fouling green spaces, lawns and ponds.

Canada geese, much like the well-known homing pigeon, have a built-in mechanism that enables them to find their way back to the exact spot they were hatched. This imprinting creates long-term issues. These habitual geese will return year after year to nest, thus drastically increasing the goose population. Only a well-executed Integrated Management Plan (IMP) can break the cycle and eliminate your goose problem.

Canada geese are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. In many cases, handling and management of Canada geese requires depredation permits. A site may also need to be registered in a Nest Destruction Program with the United States Fish and Wildlife Services. As part of the IMP, Tri-State Wildlife Management works with our customers to process this information correctly and expediently.

If your home, property, or town has become subject to a Canada goose infestation, or simply a nesting pair, don’t delay, call Tri-State Wildlife Management before it gets any worse.  Tri-State Wildlife Management is a full service bird control specialist and will help rid your property of any pesky, winged intruders.

Geese Problem Cincinnati

March 28th, 2014

Do you have a geese problem? Are you having problems with an aggressive Canada goose or do you have goose droppings everywhere? Tri-State Wildlife Management can take care of your goose problem effectively and legally as they have been doing for others in the Greater Cincinnati area for years! Call today at (513) 853-0037

Canada geese can be seen in increasing numbers throughout neighborhoods and industrial areas of cities, as well as on golf courses, in parks, or anywhere else with a body of water. The Cincinnati area is no exception to have Canada geese problems. Canada geese are also becoming less migratory, oftentimes staying year round in these particular areas, taking advantage of the easy living that an urban environment affords, such as food and warm shelter. They see no need to fly south for the winter when they have all that they need where they are.

Canada geese can be problematic for a variety of reasons, including aggressive nesting behavior, and the creation of unsanitary, unsightly, and dangerous waste and debris. Canada geese, especially males (gander), become aggressive in the springtime as they protect the nest and eggs. Females also tend to be more aggressive. Anyone who walks too closely to the nest is subject to a goose attack, which is not only frightening but can also result in bodily harm. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Division of Wildlife (2010) has issued three guidelines to follow if a Canada goose attacks you: First, stand towards the goose and keep direct eye contact; second, back away from the goose gently and slowly if it becomes violent; and third, keep a neutral demeanor – do not act scared or violent. For more information on human safety issues of Canada geese, read “Canada Geese Damage Management: Human Safety Issues” at the Internet Center for Wildlife Damage Management.

Canada goose droppings are also a major cause of concern in neighborhoods, industrial parks, golf courses, other places in and around Cincinnati. Places with a decent population of geese know how unsightly and troublesome Canada geese droppings are on walkways and green spaces. It becomes difficult to walk around piles of waste, and it is a huge hassle to try and keep an area clean if a Canada goose population is present.

Canada goose droppings aren’t just unsightly or inconvenient – Canada goose excrement harbors a variety of harmful pathogens including parasites (Crytosporidium Giardia. Toxoplasmosis.), bacteria (Campylobacter jejuni, Chlamydiosis, E-Coli, Listeria, Pasteurella multocida, Salmonella.), viruses (Avian Influenza. Encephalatic Viruses), and fungus (Histoplasmosis.)

Goose Droppings Everywhere!

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.

Canada Goose Removal Cincinnati Tri-State Wildlife Management specializes in Canada goose removal, harassment, and habitat modification. Canada geese, despite their name, extend far beyond Canada, and despite their migratory instincts, not all Canada geese leave their summer home for warmer weather in the colder months. Many Canada geese can be found year-round in the tri-state area due to a comfortable lifestyle acquired from being in close proximity to people. Who needs to fly south when food and warmth are readily available in one place year-round? Residential Canada geese are considered nuisance wildlife when their unpleasant behaviors affect people. First, to complement their migratory instinct, Canada geese are also equipped with a strong homing instinct, meaning they have an unbreakable urge to return to the area that they were hatched and raised. Without intervention, the goose population multiplies rapidly. A large population of geese then translates to large amounts of goose excrement, which is another common complaint against Canada geese. Lastly, Canada geese become very aggressive during nesting, especially males if they feel their nest is threatened.

Ohio Canada Goose Removal: Tri-State Wildlife Management specializes in Canada goose removal, harassment, and habitat modification. Canada geese, despite their name, extend far beyond Canada, and despite their migratory instincts, not all Canada geese leave their summer home for warmer weather in the colder months. Many Canada geese can be found year-round in the tri-state area due to a comfortable lifestyle acquired from being in close proximity to people.

Without intervention, the goose population multiplies rapidly. A large population of geese then translates to large amounts of goose excrement, which is another common complaint against Canada geese. Lastly, Canada geese become very aggressive during nesting, especially males if they feel their nest is threatened.

The Tri-State Wildlife Management goose round-up team recently returned from one of their goose roundup jobs in Ohio where flocks of Canada geese were residing on the grounds of a large office complex. The customer was concerned that the geese were disruptive and messy. After Vikki’s first phone conversation with the customer, it became evident that in order to provide an effective wildlife solution, management from various other buildings in the complex must also be contacted since the Canada geese were taking advantage of multiple lakes within the industrial park. In the end, multiple buildings secured Canada goose round-up permits giving the TSWM team freedom to complete a goose roundup on any lake within the office complex. Andrew and Vikki went up to the site prior to the roundup to get a feel for the situation and to better prepare. A plan of action was created and all materials were gathered.

Towards the end of June, the TSWM goose round-up team, consisting of Vikki, Andrew, Jesse, Kevin, and Heidi, headed to the site. On the night before the roundup, the flocks were located, as they typically stay sedentary during the night. Before dawn the next morning, the team readied themselves at the first lake. Equipment was set up and everyone took their post – Andrew in the kayak, and Heidi, Kevin, and Vikki along the perimeter of the water, while Jesse operated a remote control device. Within a few short minutes, the first goose roundup was complete, and the team headed to the next lake. This time, the team strategically kept the geese from reaching the water, which sped up the process even more. Before they knew it, the second goose roundup was successfully finished. Due to the experience and expertise of the TSWM goose round-up team, the entire process, from set-up to break-down, was finished before the first arrivals to the office buildings. The team successfully completed a goose roundup in which 83 geese were secured from the site. The crew headed to Bob Evans for a hearty breakfast. All in a day’s work.
