Goose Deterrent D-Fence Keeps Waterfront Properties Goose-Free

Geese are a common problem for pond owners and lake home owners. These birds have an abundant habitat, high reproductive rate, long lifespan, and low mortality due to minimal predation and hunting. As much as some people love to see these proud birds return as a sign of fairer weather to come, geese can take over our outdoor areas and make quite a mess of them. In many cases a goose deterrent is the answer.

Part of a goose’s habitat requirement is constant access to food and water. They feed on a variety of seeds, grains, and grasses that can be found in lawns, parks or golf courses. Geese sometimes eat aquatic plants and also drink water from ponds and lakes. If a barrier is in place preventing geese from reaching the water on your yard or property they will move on in search of a more desirable home.

According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, using barrier fencing as a goose deterrent is a very effective method of protecting your yard from the yearly goose invasion. It is recommended that this physical barrier be placed between the water and your yard that is to be protected from the geese’s presence.

Lake Restoration’s Goose D-Fence system is a specially engineered retractable fence that serves as a goose deterrent and keeps unwanted geese off of your property. It is virtually invisible, and you can retract it quickly and easily when ready to play, mow or entertain.

Putting our Goose D-Fence system up early in the year when geese are looking for their nesting properties will help keep them away for the entire year; geese lose their ability to fly for part of the year, usually in late spring when the goslings are also unable to fly. Use this goose deterrent early and you will have a more pleasant summer without fighting with geese for the use of your yard!
