Other than that they may not know what it is and treat it like a log. The best I have seen so far are Coyotes. We have coyotes in every county in NC but most people in the state don't know this, as myself until I saw one. Where I have seen a coyote recently I have noticed the geese population decrease especially at the nearby private country club. Another person told me he saw 3 or 4 Coyotes near a pond trying to figure out how to catch them. Within a week he started seeing feathers. Leave it to man's best friend, well the wild one that is, to get rid of those illegal aliens flying across our northern border :) I would see that this would work in the SE where alligators do live because the local geese population probably know about dangers in the waters.

It is really important to keep ducks and other water birds out of small ponds, the vast majority of amphibians reproduce in very small ponds (less than 1/4 of an acre). We are already reducing their habitat enough as it is, if you have a small pond that caters to amphibians you will be doing them a very nice service.

The mighty terrapins, however, still sunbathe on them. I’ve seen these used here in Memphis and they’ve cut drastically the numbers of waterfowl at the local park.

There is small pound here with 2 of these and the geese just swim around with them. There is even geese crap on them. :) Someone needs to tell the geese around our office part that they should be afraid of alligators.
