Geese can be a huge nuisance on corporate parking lots, entryways and walkways. Not only are these birds very territorial, their droppings will have tenants and guests tip-toeing around the property. We’ve discovered a few tips to help you eliminate unwanted geese from your corporate parking lots and surrounding areas.
The Problem with Birds in Parking Lots
It’s obvious that geese cause a variety of problems for your corporate parking lot. More than just unsightly eyesores, these birds could actually be harming your business. Issues geese can cause in your corporate building include:
- Covering walkways and parking lots in feces
- Nesting in inconvenient spaces
- Threatening or attacking tenants

Use Visual Deterrents
Some of the most common bird control methods around are visual scare tactics, which include faux predatory birds, shiny objects or balloons. These objects are designed to make birds and geese feel threatened, causing them to find another location. In corporate parking lots, however, these are not always effective. It would require many visual deterrents placed in strategic locations around your parking lot for this method to properly work.
Eventually, birds will grow accustomed to visual scare tactics, no matter how many you employ. This method must be updated and changed frequently to remain effective.

Implement a Bird Sound Machine
Sound machines are similar to visual scare tactics in that they are designed to frighten birds away from your corporate parking lot. These machines play predatory bird calls or distress calls using ultrasonic sound waves to play on a frequency only heard by birds. While this method may work to protect your property, it can become difficult to find a sound geese find threatening.
