The core expertise of Wild Goose Chasers lies in creating and executing comprehensive management plans for Canada Geese, but their capabilities extend to general nuisance waterfowl and wildlife removal, always operating within the strict guidelines of federal and state wildlife laws in Virginia.

• Nuisance Waterfowl and Canada Geese Eradication/Management: This involves developing customized, multi-faceted plans to humanely deter geese from a property and establish new, geese-free routines.
• Geese Harassment Programs (Canine Deterrence): Utilizing highly trained Border Collies and professional handlers to safely and effectively chase geese off properties, making the environment feel unsafe for the birds without causing them harm.
• Egg Depredation and Nest Management: Performing the legally permissible destruction or oiling of resident Canada Goose eggs, which is a key component in population control and reducing the aggressive behavior of nesting parents. This typically requires registration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which the professional company can manage or advise on.
• General Wildlife Removal: Providing solutions for other general nuisance wildlife that may be causing problems on residential or commercial properties.
• Habitat Modification Consulting: Offering expert advice on adjusting property landscaping and water features to make them less attractive to geese for food, water, and nesting.
• Automated Bird Deterrent Technology: Implementing cutting-edge technology, such as automated bird lasers, to provide effective, long-term exclusion and deterrence, especially in large, open environments like airports or industrial sites.
• Site Evaluation and Biologist Consultation: Initial site inspections by staff biologists to accurately identify the scope of the problem, the bird species involved, and the most effective combination of management methods.
• Licensing and Permitting Management: Handling the often-complex process of government permitting and reporting required for activities involving federally protected migratory birds, ensuring the client remains compliant with all state and federal regulations in Virginia.
