Goose Control

CAUTION! HAND FEEDING WATERFOWL IS HARMFUL!

Feeding our Geese & ducks can cause dependency on people for food. When large numbers of birds compete for limited food supplies it results in over crowding. This can cause damage to our environment & increases their susceptibility to life threatening diseases.* Often it creates big messes we don't want to STEP IN!

BE SMARTER THAN OUR GEESE AND DUCKS! Appreciate them from a distance...AND DON'T FEED THEM!!! LET THEM LIVE NATURALLY!!

Remember!! Bioaugmentation and aeration work well for digesting the nutrients in goose manure.
