How to Kill Canada Geese?

While Canada geese may have been classified as endangered species years ago, their rapid proliferation and breeding have made them a nuisance animal in many areas of North America. That’s why methods of dealing with them permanently have become more and more necessary in recent times. Here are a couple of effective lethal methods of killing Canada geese.



Shooting

This is the traditional and most widely employed method of killing these birds. Shooting is not a highly efficient method of dealing with large flocks since you can only shoot a few members at a time. The noise made in the process can act as a nuisance to them, effectively scaring them away, but this only lasts for a time before they come back.

For the noise value to have any long—term impact, it has to be done very frequently. Another problem when it comes to shooting is that the birds are hard to hit once they are in flight, in addition to the difficulty in dealing with geese that aren’t killed with one shot.

Poisoning

Here, one introduces poisoned pellets or grains into the area populated by the geese. The birds succumb to the effects of the poison once they ingest it. This is perhaps a more effective way of dealing with large geese populations, but it has its own problems as well. For one, there will be a considerable amount of ecological damage brought about by the introduction of poison – it won’t be just the geese that are affected by it but other birds as well.

In addition to this, the birds may not die in the immediate area where they consumed the poison but fly off to die elsewhere where their carcasses cannot be easily collected for proper disposal, thereby potentially spreading the contaminants.

In both of these control methods, there are plenty of legal challenges to overcome, so be sure to be careful when considering them.
