Are there any words of wisdom from you long timers out there related to Canada Geese and keeping them off your property? I've seen plenty of gimmicks and gadgets on-line but we want to know what works.

Best answer...get rid of the grass! That is what is attracting them. I have no grass on my waterfront, and no geese problem.
This is NOT coming from an anti-grass guy. I was known to have one of the most anally-retentive lawns in our neighborhood when I lived in suburbia. But they are not natural for the Lakes Region, and when installed, they attract geese.
Loose the lawn, loose the geese. Blueberrybushes, other native plants, and they go away.
