Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management Canadian Geese - how to get rid of ?

After enduring Canadian Geese in my 1/2 acre pond every spring and summer for 10 years, I am finally exhausted cleaning up the driveway, stepping in the poop on the lawn - to say nothing of what must be going into the pond. So what kind of advice do you have for discouraging them from hanging around (usually 6-8 full timers - with occasional crowd of up to 15). Seen ads in our magazine for lights that interrupt their sleep, stuff you put on the grass to make it unpleasant to eat, etc. Shooting them would land me on the couch - so let's not go there.

love to hear some proven remedies

thanks!!
