"Canned Can't Work!"
When FIRST STATE BORDER PATROL arrives on site, I look at all of the problem areas and other related sites. I will check out the waterways which the canada geese are using, the feeding areas, the goose resting areas, any area fields or lakes that could be used for safety, and then the people element. My goal is to work hard, to design a solution plan to solve your waterfowl problem. When doing quality goose control work, "canned can't work." There can be no one treatment type that works for all scenarios.
Is this goose control service 100% effective, all the time? When doing battle with Mother Nature, humans can never be 100% effective all the time. There are too many variables which can influence the outcome or outcomes which we are looking to develop.
FIRST STATE BORDER PATROL is proud to say that we have an operational success rate of 85-100%. We work with a full understanding of our client's problem areas and any related areas. We are also the only goose control business, that I am aware of, to post our operational success rates.
"Where can this service be used?"
I provide goose control service to all of Delaware and the Maryland Eastern Shore. With the number of birds on the Atlantic Flyway, going further reduces our quality. Our goose control business is designed to provide service for the agricultural, commercial, and residential areas. In the agricultural areas, FIRST STATE BORDER PATROL is used on small grain fields like winter wheat or barley, turf grass farms, production hay and pasture grasses, farm and irrigation ponds, and the crops fields for beans, mellons, and sweet corn. For the commercial areas: we can be used around marinas, corporate properties, parking lots, cemeteries, campgrounds, golf courses, airports, and playgrounds. The vast majority of our service contracts are for the residential area. Many new communities are now required to install retention or stormwater ponds. These are great breeding locations for Resident Canada geese. Other areas where the service can be used are community greenways, flower beds, waterfront properties, and senior parks. The uses are endless...
GEESE! Every year, Homeowner's Associations are faced with local Resident Canada goose issues at alarming rates. Community stormwater ponds are great places for Resident Canada geese to rear their young and spend the summer. They find food, water, and safety in these man made environments. For the average community pond, this can spell disaster for many associations and the residents who live near them.
Try this scenario on for size...on a typical one to two acre stormwater pond, you have about five breeding pair of Resident Canada geese. If they all nest, hatch out five young birds, and then raise them to adult size; within a few short years your pond problem could mushroom to over 100 birds. Think of the noise, feathers, goose waste, and aggressive goose behaviors. These are now full-time residents and your property is now a Canada goose santuary!
The Snow Job! When snow geese hit an agricultural grain field, they arrive in the thousands. You now have two or three thousand hungry geese eating away at every plant and that plant's root systems. Within a few days to a week, the field could be a useless mudflat. What farmer can afford a 30% loss... before the crops are harvested? There are not many farmers in Delaware or Maryland who can do this. Again, in farming every acre counts and counting acres are everything!
