Are Sprays Effective as a Geese Repellent?

Sprays for grass are a common but unsustainable method for deterring geese. These sprays make grass unpalatable or cause mild indigestion, prompting geese to seek untreated areas. Most contain methyl anthranilate, a natural, biodegradable compound found in Concord grapes. While somewhat effective in small areas with frequent application, sprays are neither practical nor sustainable for long-term goose control.

Despite their low initial cost, they end up being a big investment of time and money. Sprays require constant reapplication, as they wear off with rain and foot traffic. They must cover 100% of the grass—geese will simply eat untreated spots and continue leaving droppings. Additionally, sprays work better on seedlings than established grass and must be combined with other deterrents. They are also ineffective against nesting geese.
