houseflies and geese

[nanette1985]

We have tons of geese around here. They like to hang out by my front door and of course, they poop like crazy. The flies hang out by the goose poop. And then when anyone opens the door, the flies zip in.

I spray bug spray on the poop but the flies still hang out there.

Any thoughts about how to get rid of my flies?

Toss firecrackers out your door, will scare the geese away leading to less poop and flies.

Geese are made for cooking.

Get a spaniel of some sort.

Shoot the geese.

Are they Canadian geese? I hate those filthy bastages.

Get rid of the geese, or at least keep them farther away from your house.

Wow, you actually spray bug killer on goose shit? That's the greatest thing I've ever heard. I've never heard anything greater than that.

They have "goose control" companies. they are expensive.

Essentially, you hire a guy with a dog to chase the geese off your property.

Our condo association pays one of those goose control companies Alas, they don't work.

You should see how bad the condos are for the places that gon't have "goose control companies"

And yea, they mostly suck. It is unfortunate, and there may not be an easy solution.

This really is a long shot, but you could remove the goose poop from the area? I know, crazy idea...

Frogs eat flies. Get frogs.

God made geese shaped like a football for good reason. Their long neck also makes them great for practising your hammer throw technique.

Funny story...One of my dad's brothers had two pet Canadian geese that lived in his fenced in back yard on Long Island. This uncle also had chickens and ducks too so two geese weren't that weird.

So we go to his house for a family get together together when I was like 8. The geese are of course in the back yard with the ducks and his dogs, etc. Mainly keeping away from everyone. All of a sudden one snuck up on my dad and bit him. He got so pissed off he grabbed by the neck and threw it in my uncle's above ground pool. The thing was quite perturbed and was honking and shitting all over the pool. Uncle trying to get it back out, me lmao. Best party ever.

Wait, so instead of washing away the geese shit, you just spray bug spray? LOL.
