Solution to Baristaville’s geese problem? Certainly not this.
No, Alex MacDonald of North Caldwell, has a much gentler way to decrease the Canada geese population. He wants to put them on the Pill. From The Star Ledger…
MacDonald says it’s easy to use. Target the flock of geese you want to control and feed them OvaControl each morning during breeding season — late February to early April. It can be done by hand or by using an automatic feeder Innolytics developed.
“Our product looks, smells, tastes like a bread ball. We have not found a goose yet who has turned it down,” MacDonald said last week at a forum at the Essex County Environmental Center. “It’s a wheat-based product. Semi-soft. It’s the size of Kix cereal. And it’s very palatable to geese.”
The downside? An increased incidence of swinging geese having wild key parties.
I wonder if OvaControl will work better than the hand-painted Border Collie statue I saw on a corporate lawn last weekend…
“”Our product looks, smells, tastes like a bread ball.”
First the geese, next the high school cafeterias…
Wouldn’t it be better to teach them abstinence?
You seem like a newcomer, beag, so I’ll give you the benefit of my vast experience: when it comes to deterring geese, nothing ever works.
why not just smash the eggs? is that cruelty?
