If this has anything to do with increasing the capacity on my Benelli, I might have some free time to lend a hand.

The first thing to do is find out what your laws are regarding them to see what you can and cannot do.

In general, when dealing with geese the options available to you are harassment, habitat modification, lethal control or relocation. For harassment, just about anything works short term. The key is to keep doing it multiple times different times of the day and never leave the birds on the property where they can feel secure.

Since you've got a guano complaint that usually means they have a good food source and being grazers, that means grass they like to eat. Here is where taste aversion products can be helpful. The down side to them is their costs along with needing a PCO license in most areas to apply it. Another talking point is cutting of the grass (the longer it is the less likely the geese will be feeding on it) or replanting with a species they don't like.

Since the molt is over capture and relocation most likely are off the table, but lethal control isn't unless the client says No. You may have to wait till Sep 1 and use either a hunting season or apply to Fish & Wildlife for a permit unless you have a state program that would have you applying locally.
