On The Green, Inc uses Flight Control® Plus as part of our patented Goose Control program. Geese have become pests for homeowners all over the continent. They are such a nuisance because they cause extensive damage to lawns, noise disturbance, and massive volumes of droppings! Despite the ever-increasing demand for goose control strategies, they are federally protected animals. That is the number one reason why limited methods are available for controlling or deterring them from ruining your home’s lawn and landscape.
Geese see colors in ways that people can’t. That’s the basis of how Flight Control® Plus works. There is a visual warning provided by the light absorbed in the UV spectrum; although you won’t see it, the geese certainly can. The warning is paired with a digestive consequence or negative reinforcement. An irritant compound within the repellent makes the pesky goose sick when they eat the grass or turf. Canada geese tend to flock together when the entire flock feels compelled to feed on the treated spots. Soon enough, everyone learns to avoid the area and even flee once they can no longer comfortably feast.
