Since geese are grazers, lawn areas are I <br />an inviting source of food for them. ReJex -iT (and other j <br />similar products that go by different trade names) is a j <br />non -toxic matieral that when applied to turf grass makes it <br />inedible and repulsive to geese. The active ingredient is the <br />same compound that gives concord grapes their characteristic <br />flavor. <br />Application <br />ReJex -iT -is generally used to keep geese- out of relatively <br />smallareas (backyards, around walkways at corporate parks, <br />etc.). Methods have been developed to do larger areas with <br />less material (i.e., checkerboard application patterns to give <br />geese the impression that the whole area is treated). Indeed, <br />strategic application is always more material- efficient. For <br />example, if geese come out of the water to feed on grass at a <br />particular site, it may only be necesary to treat the zone that <br />the geese first encounter, not the entire area. <br />Effect on Geese <br />s <br />Results are observed as soon as geese attempt to feed on the <br />treated area. <br />Application should be most intensive' in the early spring or <br />when geese are determining their feeding patterns for the <br />season: This will help establish a pattern of behavior in which <br />the geese will avoid the area where they previously had a bad <br />experience. <br />In any case, proper application is key to success. <br />CPPosst/Avafrith ' y <br />t ° <br />>r} i <br />w <br />x,- <br />While the product is readily available, cost is quite variable <br />and depends on a variety of factors: <br />There are a number of brand names associated with this <br />type <br />of goose deterrent product (e.g., Turfshield, GooseChasetc . <br />These products may have different formulations and <br />totle taflavor).
