Canadian Geese/Duck Problem

[Post a Follow Up] [Post to this category]
From: William Sampa City: Bloomington, IL
I seem to have an invasion of Canadian Geese and Ducks in my backyard. They are there due to the neighbors feeding them. Are there any regulations regarding feeding them in a residential area. Also, what are good ways to get rid of them from my yard. or any other advice you can give. thanks
