Goose Repellent Spray Solves Pesky Bird Problem It could be any suburban corporate complex or school campus or hospital grounds: 30 acres, wooded, with a big pond and lots of open space surrounding two low-rise buildings where people come and go every day. It's scenic and inviting -- not only to humans, but also to geese. Picture a hundred geese out of control, defiling sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots.That's the scenario faced by Duane Kimmet, operations manager and safety officer of St. Francis Health Care Centre in Spring Green, OH.

Canada geese overran the two scenic ponds that graced the front of the Career Center. The flock of geese, numbering between 100 and 150 birds, left an unsightly mess of droppings smack in front of the Center. It was a visual disgrace. “It made such a bad impression,” says Wilson. “If it looked bad to me, I knew it looked bad to everyone,” he adds. Furthermore, Wilson feared for the safety of the geese as they strutted their stuff on the driveway circling in front of the vocational school and throughout the parking lot. “They could be run over by vehicles. The geese would walk right out on the busy highway, forcing cars to stop,” Wilson recalls. “It was really bothersome.” View the complete story here.
