Costs vary and are based on the size of the property. We like to view the property in person so that we can pinpoint the areas to be targeted and provide an exact quote. You can request a quote here.

Our liquid goose repellent applications are eco-friendly, odorless, and water resistant. They’re safe for humans, vegetation, and wildlife. They work through two main mechanisms:

• First, our repellent provides a visual warning to geese. When sprayed on turf, the compound absorbs ultraviolet light. Geese can see this, but humans can’t. They’ll immediately notice that something is wrong with the grass they’re hoping to eat.
• Second, the repellent upsets their stomachs. By consuming treated grass, the geese experience a harmless but effective digestive irritation, reinforcing the message that something is wrong with that food source.

This combination teaches geese to avoid grassy areas treated by Geese Partners.

We spray every two weeks during the regular season from March through November to discourage the geese from nesting on the property. (though this may vary according to your mowing schedule or location).

After only one application, you should see a dramatic difference. It may take up to ten days for the first application to provide results.

Geese are responsible for significant landscape damage and can cause a major financial impact on property owners. The droppings are unsightly, and there is evidence that the bacteria can be harmful to water supplies, and unhealthy for humans. The Geese can become aggressive during the nesting and hatching season and may expose property owners to civil litigation. The overpopulation of Geese has caused many jurisdictions to allow large-scale “roundups” and euthanasia.

Yes. The goal of a hazing program is to imprint fear of certain areas in the Geese.

Yes. Canada Geese are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and are ultimately regulated by The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Migratory bird act governs what measures can and cannot be used to control the population. Any work performed by Geese Partners will conform to all of the rules under the treaty, and protocols set forth by The MSPCA and other animal advocacy groups.

There are two types of Geese in Massachusetts, resident and migratory. Resident Geese were released in the early 1920s from decoy flocks and have never migrated. Resident Geese number over one million in the eastern states alone and are increasing at 14% per annum. Resident Geese are usually responsible for the majority of complaints.

The program should be administered and conducted only by trained professionals. You can however assist by ensuring that you do not feed the geese.

In some cases, the Geese have been imprinted to an area for several years. In these areas, it may take many months, or even years to make a significant impact on the population.
