Canada geese are a protected yet increasingly troublesome species that has adapted remarkably well to urban and suburban environments across Canada. What once were seasonal visitors have now become year-round residents on golf courses, corporate campuses, parks, and residential properties. If you are dealing with a goose problem, you know just how aggressive, messy, and disruptive these birds can be. Professional Canada Geese Control Services is the most effective and legally compliant way to restore peace, safety, and cleanliness to your outdoor spaces.
Canada geese may appear harmless at first glance, but an unchecked flock can cause significant damage and health risks. Each goose produces up to 1.5 kg of droppings every single day. Multiply that across a flock of 20 to 50 birds and you quickly have an overwhelming hygiene crisis on your hands. Their droppings contain harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, posing real health risks to children, pets, and anyone who uses the affected area.
Beyond health concerns, geese are notoriously territorial — especially during nesting season. They will aggressively charge, hiss, and even physically attack people who approach their nesting areas. This makes patios, entranceways, and parking lots genuinely hazardous.
| Type of Damage | Impact | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive Droppings | Contaminated walkways, lawns, and water features | High |
| Lawn Overgrazing | Destroyed turf and landscaping | High |
| Aggressive Behaviour | Risk of injury to people and pets | High |
| Water Contamination | Algae blooms and bacteria in ponds | Medium |
| Crop Destruction | Loss of agricultural produce | Medium |
| Noise Disturbance | Constant honking disrupts residents | Low–Medium |
At Technica Pest Solutions, we follow a comprehensive, humane, and fully compliant approach to Canada Geese Control Services. Canada geese are protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, which means extermination must be carried out by licensed professionals following strict guidelines. Our certified technicians are trained in all legal and ethical methods of geese management.

With years of experience managing wildlife and pest challenges across Alberta and British Columbia, our team brings proven expertise to every job. We understand that every property is unique, which is why we design tailored solutions rather than applying a one-size-fits-all treatment. Here is what sets us apart:
Not sure whether your goose problem warrants professional intervention? Here are the most common indicators that it’s time to call in the experts:
Yes, but only when carried out by licensed professionals under the appropriate permits. Canada geese are protected under federal law, and lethal control requires permits issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada. Non-lethal methods such as habitat modification and deterrents do not require a permit and can be deployed immediately.
Results vary depending on the severity of the infestation and the methods used. Many clients notice a significant reduction in goose activity within the first one to two weeks of a deterrent program. Full habitat modification may take a few weeks to become fully effective.
Without ongoing management, geese can return, particularly during migration season. Our team designs integrated programs that reduce the attractiveness of your property long-term. We also offer follow-up visits and maintenance services to ensure lasting results.
Absolutely. All our methods comply with federal and provincial safety regulations. Non-lethal deterrents such as habitat modifications, sound devices, and trained dogs pose no risk to people or domestic animals.
Minimal preparation is needed. Our technicians will conduct an initial site assessment and advise you on any specific steps to take, such as removing food sources, clearing certain vegetation, or restricting access to certain areas during treatment.
Costs depend on the size of the property, the severity of the infestation, and the methods required. We offer transparent, competitive pricing with no hidden charges. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific situation.
