Nuisance Species:
Nuisance Fish & Wildlife

Description:

This is not a reference to certain neighbors or family members. It applies to animals that may be appealing in other settings - but not sharing the lakeshore with you and your family.

This group includes muskrats, Canada geese, and even mallard ducks (particularly in urban areas) that are capable of damaging your lawn or degrading your living area.

Canada geese will not enter tall vegetation because they think predators lurk within, so replacing turf with native plants will automatically address too many geese in your yard.

This story is told at Buffalo Lake.
