When my pond first got going I allowed about 13 geese to settle in on my just over 1/4 acre pond and it took about two days for me to figure out they were not wanted and have ran them off ever since
Here at my place west of Seattle they first show up around early April in search for a home. There are usually ducks already on the pond so I try and do nothing that will also scare them.
Usually no more than 4 will show up at one time so I walk towards them and sting them with a bb gun. They get the hint and leave. After doing this a few times, they seem to keep the hint and not come back. If I see any coming in to land all I have to do is clap my hands loud and they will not land and move on.
After about the end of May they have settled in other areas and never try and come back till the following year.
