How to keep geese off your lawn during fall migration

Every fall, flocks of migrating geese look for places to rest and feed, and a wide, open lawn near water looks perfect to them. A few geese can quickly turn into a flock that leaves droppings on lawns, docks, and walkways.

Why geese choose your property

Open lawns. Geese prefer short grass with a clear view, so they can spot predators.

Water nearby. Ponds, lakes, and shorelines give them a quick escape route.

Easy food. Tender grass is their main food source, especially well-kept lawns.

That’s why golf courses, parks, waterfront homes, and HOA common areas see the most trouble.

How to make your lawn less inviting

1. Start early. Geese that find a good spot keep coming back. Treat before the flock settles in.

2. Make the grass unappealing. Goose Stopper makes grass taste and feel unpleasant to geese and ducks, so they stop feeding and move on.

3. Cover the whole area they use. Treat lawns, shorelines, and the paths geese walk from the water to the grass.

4. Treat large areas efficiently. Goose Stopper is a concentrate. Mix 13 oz per gallon of water. 32 oz treats up to 10,000 sq ft, and one gallon treats about an acre, which makes it practical for golf courses, sports fields, and parks.

5. Stay consistent through migration. Geese move through in waves during fall and spring, so keep protection in place for the whole season.

Why property managers choose Goose Stopper

It dries clear and won’t discolor turf, concrete, asphalt, or docks, so it works on manicured grounds without leaving a trace.

Keep it working: Reapply about every 30 days, regardless of rain or watering, or at first sight of animal activity.
