This month, migrant and resident Canada Geese are settling in for their annual nesting season. During this time, they will choose their territory and young adults will select their lifetime mates. Once they have established their nesting grounds and begin laying eggs, Canada Geese become extremely difficult to remove and problematic for homeowners and business owners. If the geese have used the property in previous years, the challenge is even greater.

Pest goose infestation can result in serious property damage, health hazards and liability caused by dropping messes, as well as a general nuisance for residents, neighbors, and workers. Geese are especially territorial this time of year and are likely to display aggression toward anyone that gets too close to their nests. Goose attacks can result in physical injuries, falls, sprains, broken bones, head trauma, emotional distress and more.

Not-So-Fun Fact: Each Canada goose produces at least a pound of droppings per day!

Steps can be taken right now to prevent pest goose infestation before nesting season is in full swing:

1) Create an inhospitable environment by making landscape alterations. Allow grass around ponds and other water sources to grow long, restricting convenient access. Plant trees and bushes to eliminate large open areas, making pest geese fear that predators may be hiding nearby.

2) Use an alarm-call repeller such as the GooseBuster to unleash an audio attack on pest geese. The GooseBuster is a one-of-a-kind device that uses the naturally recorded alert and alarm calls of the Canada goose. Alert calls indicate uneasiness or concern about potential danger, while Alarm calls are warnings of immediate danger requiring evacuation. These distinct communication signals are recognized instantly by Canada geese, causing them to flee the area and discouraging them from returning.

3) Visual scares are extremely effective at repelling pest birds. Turn on spotlights or strobe lights at night to harass the geese. Install predator decoys on the property, such as a coyote replica for lawns or a floating gator head in ponds.

4) Apply taste aversions to grass where the geese are nesting. A biodegradable food-grade repellent liquid, like Bird Stop, makes treated foliage taste terrible to geese, eliminating their food source.

Bird-X recommends goose-proofing your property before nesting season so that geese learn to take up residence elsewhere. If geese have already nested on your property this year, be prepared to move them in late May after their eggs have hatched and when molting season is about to begin. Try combining the GooseBuster alarm-call repeller with other efforts for maximum results. The GooseBuster was developed using scientific research and field study and is the most comprehensive goose repeller in the world.

Most homeowners have a long list of things to get done around the house. Very few are more important than making sure the residence foundation is in good shape and not threatened by issues that are easy to fix. The experts at Premier Foundation Repair Inc have some tips on how to get those things homeowners tend to put off for later (http://www.premierfoundationrepair.com/).

After the purchase of the house itself, one of the biggest expense, especially in term of out-of-pocket cost the homeowners may incur is foundation repairs. Taking a pro-active approach to insure the well being of the residence’s foundation is economical and the pay off can be tremendous.

“Of all the repairs, checks, things to do around the house that get put off, homeowners resolution should be to take care of the foundation’s checklist first” says Ms. Goines, CEO of Premier Foundation Repairs Inc in Dallas Texas.

If the homeowners are pressed for time, they can also contact any reputable foundation repair company and have their expert staff do an inspection in and out of the house. Most of the solutions to put in place are very economical. For example:

1. Homeowners should check the drainage around their residence by making sure gutters and spouts drain away from the foundations.

2. Plumbing leaks under the house foundations are not uncommon. The homeowner can have a plumbing pressure test done to make sure there are no leaks under the slab.

3. The ground moisture around the home’s perimeter should remain as constant as possible. Premier Foundation Repairs Inc. recommends periodical use of a sprinkler system and soaker hoses in the summer time but also in the winter time if the weather is dry.

If a residence shows signs of foundation problems, the customer needs to remember that the root cause, most likely a moisture level issue, will need to be addressed in order for the foundation repairs to last permanently.
