Goose Droppings

A goose may produce up to 1 lb or more of feces per day (which may carry e‐coli bacteria). Goose droppings litter the landscape and create negative first impressions to visitors, tenants and employees. Feces can be tracked inside, contaminating the lobby, reception and other areas. Potential human pathogens in fecal material include Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Listeria, Chlamydia Psittaci and Rotavirus.

Destruction of Turf and Soil

A single goose can damage 5 sq feet of turf daily. Geese can also eat up to 3 lbs of grass per day per bird. Aside from the damage to turf and soil, geese can also cause heavy traffic and other human hazards.
