Waterfowl Management
Waterfowl such as resident Canadian Geese or Coots can have a major impact on your property. They damage turf through their feeding and can leave a considerable mess in their wake. They also contribute significantly to the nutrient levels in your lakes driving aquatic weed and algae growth. Our biologists can assist you in the development of a program to discourage these birds on your property. One key tool is Flightcontrol Plus, a deterrent that is applied to turf in feeding areas.
