Wild Goose Chase has provided reliable and effective goose management solutions for our golf course for nearly five years. We appreciate the way they work with our budget to provide the best services for the best return on our investment. Our account manager is very knowledgeable about our golf course and always provides recommendations to best minimize the goose population and issues that they cause. They continue to provide a great service without disrupting our golf operations, which is very important to us.

Wild Goose Chase has been a valued partner for 18 years and I highly recommend their services. Their customized management plans have allowed us to stay within budget while effectively managing nuisance geese activity on our entire 500-acre estate. WGC’s responsiveness to our requests is exemplary, and they are scrupulous about tracking data to illustrate the progress we have made from year to year. If your property is being overrun by nuisance geese, the highly trained professionals at Wild Goose Chase will work tirelessly to make your goose problems a thing of the past.

We recently invited Wild Goose Chase back to service our two, park district golf courses this last spring. They had serviced us in the past and picked up exactly where they left off and they did not skip a beat. Their daily service helped to keep our courses clear of geese and the messes they leave behind. We will recommend their company to any golf courses dealing with goose issues.

Wild Goose Chase took over all goose management services at our golf course in the spring of 2018 after our past provider notified us they could no longer service our property. We were impressed with how quickly Ali Phillips and her team were able to respond, provide proposals and begin servicing within such a short period of time. Their services were highly effective and we look forward to continuing to work with them for all of our goose management needs.

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, not a follower.

About Us
Wild Goose Chase, Inc (WGC) was founded in 1998 by Susan Hagberg, who was managing commercial landscaping accounts in the Chicagoland’s commercial real estate market. During this time, Sue began to realize that there was a real need for Canada goose control services. As there were no options available locally for her landscape clients Sue took the initiative to research how to best manage Canada geese in an urban environment. Then, she implemented a business model that focused on providing safe and humane Canada goose control with the use of trained border collies to harass geese off properties. CLICK HERE to learn more
