Coalition to Prevent the Destruction of Canada Geese Page 8 of 11 <br />11. RELOCATION <br />Relocation experiments carried out by the DEC in Rockland <br />County have offered only temporary relief (see Attachment <br />3). <br />CONCLUSION <br />It is important to note that best results are obtained when several non- <br />lethal control methods are used together in a cycle of implementation, <br />observation and modification. <br />This committee has researched and demonstrated several possible <br />techniques of a non - lethal nature (plus egg addling), for resolving <br />human /geese conflicts in Rockland County. There is no question that <br />these conflicts and problem areas must be treated on a case by case <br />basis and that certain approaches outlined here may be very effective <br />in certain circumstances and of little or no effect in other areas. One <br />specific approach outlined, methyl anthranilate, has been approved for <br />use in New York State by the NYS DEC. For information, call the <br />manufacturer, R.J. Advantage, at 800/423 -2473. <br />This committee recommends that all of the approaches discussed in <br />this report be examined carefully and implemented where appropriate. <br />cgreport <br />BIBLIOGRAPHY <br />1.
