This year’s big experiment is with goose repellant. We all know of the mess these birds make and they never clean up after themselves. We are making a test run with a product called…wait for it… Migrate Goose Repellent.  It will be used in specific areas to discourage the geese from nesting and hanging out there. The product is very similar to pepper spray to the birds but does not bother humans. No harm is done to the geese but the birds may not find Sunset Shores Yacht Club a very comfortable place to hang out.

If this product works as good as it claims, we should be relatively goose free in no time.

Spider spraying was a big hit last season. Because of the success, we’ve decided to extend it out to include the docks. Last season the focus was on the buildings and some experimental usage on test docks. Around mid-season, a test was made to obtain the details regarding what it would take to spray all of the docks. It was decided that because of the spider spraying’s popularity with our boaters, we would indeed spray docks along with our buildings this year. You asked and we listened. Therefore, we are looking for volunteers to help because it’s a big job.

Please contact, Kris Martek, at violations@sunsetshoresyachtclub.com if you’re interested in helping. Once we have enough people, a schedule breaking up the docks into sections along with spraying directions will be developed. As always, we are grateful to our volunteers; without them our club’s costs would skyrocket.
