Our Approach to Bird Control
Wild Goose Chase provides expert bird control services for commercial, industrial, and agricultural properties. Since 1998, we’ve focused on solving nuisance bird problems with effective, humane solutions. Our team includes trained wildlife biologists, certified technicians, and experienced canine handlers.
Every property and bird problem is different. That’s why we use an integrated strategy that combines multiple tools and techniques to address the issue from all angles. Our goal is long-term control without harming wildlife or disrupting your operations.
Services Overview
Our Bird Control Services
No two sites are the same. That’s why we tailor every bird control plan to the specific challenges and conditions of your property. Our team starts with a comprehensive site evaluation, then recommends the right mix of services based on species, environmental factors, and long-term goals.
Bird Removal & Control
We provide direct, on-site solutions to safely remove birds from your property and prevent their return.
Dog Services
Our trained border collies are deployed to humanely herd geese away from fields, campuses, and open areas. Their presence mimics natural predators, encouraging geese to relocate without harm.
Goose Control
We use a combination of dog patrols, repellents, egg depredation, and exclusion strategies to keep geese off your property long term.
Pigeon Control
We address pigeon problems through trapping, deterrents, and cleanup services. Our goal is to eliminate nesting, reduce mess, and protect structures from damage.
Gull Control
We rely on dog services, egg depredation, and laser technology as primary control methods for gulls. These strategies effectively reduce nesting, deter flocks from gathering, and protect facilities from the noise, droppings, and aggressive behavior associated with gull activity.
Deterrents & Exclusions
We design and install systems that keep birds from nesting, roosting, or gathering where they’re not wanted.
Bird Deterrent Systems
Visual, auditory, and physical deterrents to discourage birds from occupying unwanted areas like ledges, rooftops, and signs.
Exclusion Systems
Netting, spikes, mesh, and other barriers that physically block birds from accessing key areas of your property.
Laser Bird Control
EPA-approved laser devices safely deter birds such as gulls, starlings, geese, and even killdeer from rooftops, ponds, and industrial facilities. These systems provide a humane, long-term solution for protecting property and reducing bird pressure in sensitive areas.
Goose Repellant Lawn Application
We apply turf-safe repellents like Flight Control Plus that make grassy areas less attractive to geese.
Window Collision Prevention
We help prevent bird strikes on glass using decals, UV films, and patterned treatments that are visible to birds and compliant with LEED and bird-safe building codes.
Population Control
For long-term impact, we manage bird populations in a humane manner in compliance with applicable Federal and State regulations.
Gull Egg Depredation
We hold the necessary permits to locate and remove gull eggs to limit reproduction and reduce pressure over time.
Goose Egg Depredation
Our certified team safely treats or removes goose eggs to manage population growth, fully in line with wildlife regulations.
Other Bird Nest Management
We manage nests and eggs of other protected species in accordance with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service guidelines.

Client Testimonials
"The Migratory Bird Management team efforts have made our operations easier. By managing bird population and deterring birds from returning, we have reduced/eliminated the annoyances and dangers of birds affecting staff and vendors performing roof maintenance on our high rise, window cleaners propelling off the building and parkers at our open air six story parking structure. They usher you through the complexities of government requirements and do it with reasonable prices and great follow up. Any building that has birds posing obstacles should reach out to Mike and his team for assistance!"
General Manager, Colliers Sherry K."Migratory Bird Management offered a turnkey service, keeping us up to date with their progress throughout the process this Spring and Summer. The team provided pictures and status updates after each visit. Mike even reached out to the City to keep them in the loop on numerous occasions. In 2020 they were able to humanly remove over 2,400 nests and 13,000 eggs from the roof top of the building."
Property Manager, Kroger Real Estate Jennifer B."What unbelievable difference compared to the last few years!!! Three weeks into the ‘season’ we noticed a huge decline in the bird numbers. Four weeks after that the seagulls were almost non-existent. We were never ‘dive-bombed’ this year. We didn’t have one customer that complained to us about the birds. I didn’t hear one complaint from our employees about the droppings in our parking lot. Nor did they have to go home and wash their cars everyday like the last few years. We never thought seagulls could have such an impact on our business. Thank you again for solving this issue for us. Definitely money well spent !! Thank you again !!"
DWF Wholesale Florist Patrick G."I want to commend your entire team for the excellent work done on the installation of my new bird deterrent laser. Both Gordon and Carla were responsive and helpful in the installation process. They both are experts in what they do. Also, I must say that despite my initial skepticism about the ability of the laser to keep the geese flocks off my property, it has been 100% effective in keeping the geese away. The day before the installation of the laser, I had 27 geese on my 6-acre property. They were so bold I could not scare them away. The day after we turned on the laser, no geese. And we have not seen a single goose for weeks now. I am now free to enjoy our lake home and property without the mess and nuisance of flocks of migratory waterfowl. Life on the lake is good again. Thanks for your good work and your excellent team of Gordon and Carla. I am happy to provide a reference for potential customers of yours. I am sold on the laser."
Murphy Residential David M."We’ve proudly been using Wild Goose Chase at our airport since 1999! Sue and the team do an outstanding job with wildlife mitigation on our airport that has helped us in more ways than we can count. Innovation is another extremely favorable attribute that WGC has. We were the first Airport in the United States to use canines for geese control and now one of the first handful of airports to use laser technology as well. Very professional and compassionate staff that honestly cares about our clients. Their work, dedication, and passion for their mission is what make them an industry leader, nota follower."
Chicago Executive Airport, PWK"Thank you for doing such great work all of these years and being totally responsive to our needs. It has been an easy ride, and you’ve made it easy!"

Golf Course Superintendent"Since implementing the automated laser, we have seen an 80-90% reduction in the number of birds so far this year compared to this time last year. I’ve been impressed so far with the results.”
Fish Farm Manager"Wild Goose Chase has been a great success with our geese control. Our garden has grown to a considerable height (with a lot of hand watering) and the geese don’t seem to give it a second look."
Downtown Services Manager"KEI has successfully contracted with Migratory Bird Management (MBM) to provide our clients management of nuisance birds for quite a while now. KEI finds it invaluable that MBM offers a turnkey service, including managing and navigating the required federal permit and reporting process and forms. Mike Michalski and his team are very knowledgeable in bird behavior, bird species, and the unique challenges each present. Mike is always pro-active and keeps us and our clients well informed of their progress in managing this critical service. MBM's professional approach to protecting our client's employees, visitors and property from the hazards of nuisance birds provides a value added service that we can bring to the table for our clients. KEI highly recommends you call Mike and MBM if you are experiencing issues with nuisance birds."
President, Kujawa Enterprises Inc. Chris K."Migratory Bird Management was hired to assist with the goose population problem. Within a few short weeks, with the aid of the trained dogs and a remote control boat, the technicians were able to reduce the population to only a few mating pairs. Their repeated visits to the site, both day time and evenings eventually caused the geese to become annoyed and leave the site. Their methodology of irritating the birds with light, sound, and the dogs, without physically harming the geese allows for a solution that protects the wildlife, eliminated the nuisance situation in a manner that was acceptable to everyone."
