Below, we've summed up the most popular questions we receive in regards to geese and cemeteries. Call Hawkeye for a professional assessment and long-term geese management plan.

When thinking of a cemetery, most of us envision a beautifully landscaped park-like place of peace where we are able to reflect, remember, and mourn. We do not expect to be confronted by aggressive Canada geese.

Unlike retail plazas or office parks, cemeteries must balance a quiet atmosphere and religious or cultural sensitivity with visitor safety, year-round public access and strict maintenance standards. 

When goose populations become established on cemetery grounds, professional goose removal for cemeteries may be required to restore safety, cleanliness, and the peaceful environment visitors expect.

While we may still be buried under snow and ice, the arrival of Canada geese in the GTA is only weeks away. With spring goose season approaching quickly, now is the time to educate yourself and consider options for geese control—before the birds settle in and begin nesting.

Canada geese may return from their southern winter home as early as March. Once geese establish a nest, removal becomes significantly more difficult due to regulations and aggressive behaviour. Early prevention is the most effective and cost-efficient approach.

In the last article, we discussed why graveyards and cemeteries are so vulnerable when it comes to Canada geese infestation. Now, we'll look at how to remedy goose breeding and nesting and how to prevent the same problem from occurring again next spring.

Deterrents and DIY solutions are not a viable, long-term option to prevent Canada geese from nesting and grazing in GTA cemeteries and memorial parks.
