As soon as they show up I scare them off. In my area there are 2 types of geese, city geese and country geese. The city geese have never been shot at and do not respond to loud gunshots...you have to run on them to scare them off. The country geese leave as soon as you shoot. Normally the geese show up in the spring and the fall, if I scare them off at those times then I do not have a problem during the summer or the winter. Disrupt them they will find somebody else's pond.
