Repellents
|
| GeesePeace finds repellents to be useful in situations where the number of geese is moderate and there are alternative feeding/foraging areas available. Since the repellents are fairly expensive and not persistent (when you cut the grass, the repellent goes too) we recommend that you only use them in combination with Border collie harassment. In this way the Border collies will keep the number of geese to low/moderate levels so that the geese will have learned to only forage in the previously untreated areas. Repellent is a misnomer, since they do not "repel" the geese. The geese learn that eating the treated grass upsets them. Some manufacturers add an ingredient that marks the grass so that they geese learn to stay off the marked area. |
