The Goose Poop on the Walking Path - Critter 80

Monday, October 14, 2024
There is a family of geese lives permanently around our neighborhood retention pond. Others come and go.


Fig 01- Wild Geese.

Unfortunately, these geese will only do "their business" on the sidewalk close to the retention pond.

It requires an excellent hop- scotched to not come home with "something extra" (goose poop) on your shoes.

Sort of an analogy for life troubles - sometimes you hop over it, sometimes steps smack into it!

There might be a natural product that could be sprayed on the walkway monthly which would deter them from using it.

We saw Goose Stopper, liquid repellent sold in Home Depot with reasonable price, but we don't know the effective of liquid for keeping geese off the walking path.

What do you think?

  3. Oh, a nice family of geese, but I know it can be a problem too..especially if they chase after you.

  4. Good to see your post. Usually, we only have them down at the pond in the park or at the river..and of course, the zoo. Poo can be a problem.

  7. Goose poop was the bane of my existence as a kid! They were all over the pond across the street from where I grew up.

  9. I'm guessing it would be worth a try to use this product. How odd that they choose the walkway instead of the grassy area. I saw a big family of geese just this morning...they are really very pretty

  10. Years ago where I worked we had a lot of them by the ponds and it was like a minefield! They tried everything but nothing worked. One had to be extra careful when the babies came as they were very protected and would chase after you!!

  12. The Canada Geese are everywhere, they do seem to leave lots of droppings.
    You have to be careful where you walk. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend!

  14. This is always a problem here near the train station too because there are also a couple of geese here and they seem to belong here but the poop is really not nice sometimes. It is cleaned up regularly by the municipality. Some geese were even taken away and placed elsewhere but they just come back.
